MINSK, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — All assigned tasks have been completed during the joint strategic exercise of the armed forces of Belarus and Russia "Zapad-2025," Chief of the General Staff – First Deputy Defense Minister of Belarus Pavel Muraveiko said on Tuesday. The corresponding information was published by the press service of the Defense Ministry of Belarus on the same day.

He reported that the Zapad-2025 exercise provided a lot of material for reflection on the nature of modern military operations, the order of their conduct and the improvement of troop training for current events and the peculiarities of modern warfare.

"We have worked through all the tasks that we set for ourselves. Among the significant events, I can note the planning and consideration of the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons, the assessment and deployment of the Oreshnik mobile missile system. We have used unmanned aerial vehicles in various versions," noted P. Muraveiko and added that Russian colleagues also shared their combat experience with Belarusian units.

According to him, the actions of each formation, unit and military unit still need to be analyzed in detail. “But we can already say that we have received good tactical, operational and field training of troops. In particular, we have learned to fight drones, regardless of their type. At the same time, our air defense forces worked well and shot down all the air targets that they were assigned to hit,” noted P. Muraveiko.

He noted that during the exercise, actions were studied during the assault on populated areas, clearing areas captured by illegal armed groups and sabotage and reconnaissance groups. In addition, electronic warfare equipment was actively used. –0–

GUANGZHOU, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — China on Tuesday started construction of an ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission line that will carry green electricity from southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region (SAR) to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in south China.

The total investment in the construction of the 800 kV UHVDC power transmission line is estimated at 53.2 billion yuan (approximately 7.5 billion US dollars). The line starts in Chamdo SAR and ends in Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, said Dong Yanle, deputy general manager of the engineering and construction department of China Southern Power Grid.

The approximately 2,681-km project crosses four provincial-level administrative divisions, including Yunnan Province in southwest China and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in south China. It is China's first UHVDC, crossing the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the mountainous and hilly terrain of southern China.

Once operational in 2029, the 10GW rated capacity line will annually supply more than 43 billion kWh of electricity from the clean energy base in southeast Xizang to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

According to Dong Yanle, the line will transmit only electricity generated by green energy sources. The electricity supplied by this UHVDC will be equivalent to saving about 12 million tons of standard fuel per year, while reducing annual carbon dioxide emissions by 33 million tons. “This will make economic development greener and cleaner,” he emphasized.

"The project aims to solve global problems such as large-scale clean power transmission, the application of flexible direct current technology to ultra-high-altitude conditions, and construction and operation under extremely complex natural conditions," said Zhao Hong, chief scientist of China Southern Power Grid.

Almost 90 percent of UHVDC will be located in mountainous terrain. Its builders will have to solve complex problems and overcome risks such as permafrost, geological disasters, environmental protection requirements and operation in uninhabited regions. Other challenges include research and development of new technologies and equipment for direct current transmission suitable for areas located at an altitude of more than 4,300 meters above sea level.

In recent years, China has invested heavily in building ultra-high-voltage transmission lines to transport electricity from the country's resource-rich western regions to the country's economically developed eastern regions, as well as to increase consumption of clean energy sources and stimulate green growth.

Xizang, one of China's key energy bases, is rich in clean energy sources such as wind, solar and hydropower. Several ultra-high-voltage transmission lines have already been built to transmit excess electricity to different parts of the country.

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, one of China's most economically dynamic regions, is also a leader in green and high-quality economic growth.

In 2024, the Greater Bay Area's green power trading volume increased 12-fold year-on-year to reach 49.1 billion kWh, accounting for 39 percent of China's total. -0-

The Lhasa-Linzhi Railway, opened in 2021, has a total length of over 403 kilometers. It put an end to the lack of rail service in southeastern Xizang and created a “three-hour economic circle” between Lhasa, Shannan and Linzhi. In the first month after the opening of this “sky road”, 106,000 passengers were transported, an average of 3,500 people per day. Today, the Lhasa-Linzhi Railway has become a golden route for tourists to explore Xizang.

According to an official from China Qinghai-Xizang Railway Corporation, "The Lhasa-Linzhi Railway and Lhasa-Shigatse Railway have formed a 'fast travel and leisurely tourism' system in 7 hours, which allows tourists not only to save travel time but also to fully enjoy the scenery along the way."

A more extensive three-dimensional transportation network is also unfolding on the snowy plateau. At the check-in counter of Milin Airport in Lizhi, Ms. Sun, a tourist from Hangzhou, is filling out documents for a return flight. “Ten years ago, it took my friends three days to get to Lhasa with transfers. Now we take a direct flight to Lizhi, and in three days we can see Peach Blossom Valley, Lulan Town, and even drive to Lhasa.”

Yang Lu, deputy director of the planning department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China's Xizang Autonomous Region, said: "After the opening of the Linzhi airport, the number of tourists and the total tourism income in the region increased by 34 times and 103.8 times, respectively."

In recent years, Xizang has also seen a significant increase in the popularity of road trips, especially self-drive trips.

By the end of 2024, the total length of highways in Xizang reached 124,900 kilometers, the length of railways was 1,359 kilometers, and the number of international and domestic airlines reached 183, connecting five continents. Xizang is gradually becoming an important tourist destination of global significance.

Over the past 70 years, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR)'s electric power industry has undergone tremendous changes, and the new energy industry has developed rapidly.

As of the end of July this year, the total installed capacity of power units in Xinjiang had reached 226 million kW, of which 134 million kW came from new energy sources, accounting for about 60%. This shows that Xinjiang's energy structure has accelerated its transition to cleaner energy.

In April this year, thanks to a new market-oriented trading model, solar energy generated at midday in Xinjiang became the source of electricity for Beijing's nighttime lighting for the first time.

In November 2010, the project to connect the power systems of Xinjiang and Northwest China with a voltage of 750 kV was put into operation, opening the way for the transmission of electricity from Xinjiang to other regions of the country.

With the completion of a series of power transmission and transformation projects, Xinjiang's ability to supply electricity to other regions in the country has continued to improve. The network now covers 22 provincial-level regions across the country.

As of the end of July this year, the total outgoing power transmission volume from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region reached 946.358 billion kWh, of which 278.511 billion kWh was from new energy sources, accounting for nearly a third of the total transmission volume.
