BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — Accordions made in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are planned to be exported to Kazakhstan, Belarus and other countries, according to the opening ceremony of the accordion studio of the China Musical Instrument Society in Tacheng, local media reported.

Tarbagatai accordions will be exported through the Baktu checkpoint on the Chinese-Kazakh border. Tarbagatai has established the assembly of this musical instrument with the involvement of international suppliers of parts and components, and has become the first locally assembled accordion manufacturer in Xinjiang. In Tacheng, Tarbagatai accordions are already perceived as a major achievement in using cultural resources to promote industrial development.

According to Song Yalong, head of the city's cultural and tourism bureau, Tacheng's accordion culture has made the transition from a local phenomenon to an international brand. The most important events in this process were the first accordion festival with a record number of performers – more than one thousand people in 2016, getting into the Shanghai Great World Guinness Book of Records, and the participation of performers from countries along the Belt and Road and other foreign countries in the 2024 festival. And in 2025, Tacheng and its accordion culture were glorified by 5,282 accordion lovers, who set a new record with their collective performance, officially registered by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records. It is noteworthy that about a thousand of them played the accordion of the Tarbagatai brand.

In the first half of this year, Tacheng received about 3 million tourists, and accordion culture is considered an important factor and driver of tourist growth.

As noted, the new studio, as a platform for interaction between performers and accordion manufacturers, will contribute to the further popularization, preservation and development of the art of playing this musical instrument. -0-

ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — A readers' forum dedicated to Xi Jinping's book "On Respecting and Ensuring Human Rights" was held here on Thursday.

Speaking at the forum, Jiang Jianguo, a member of the Bureau of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), vice-chairman of the Ethnicity and Religious Affairs Commission of the CPPCC National Committee, and executive vice-chairman of the China Society for the Study of Human Rights, noted that the book has been published in 13 foreign languages and has attracted readers from all over the world, working in the fields of human rights, politics, academic research, as well as in the media and think tanks.

"From this book, readers can learn about Xi Jinping's deep concern for the people and how the leader of a major party and a major country views the world," he said. Readers can also gain insight into the CPC's century-long commitment to respecting and ensuring human rights, as well as China's independent path in advancing human rights, Jiang Jianguo said, expressing hope that the book will serve as a useful guide for African countries in advancing modernization and improving governance for human rights and people's well-being.

Chinese Ambassador to Ethiopia Chen Hai stressed that both China and Africa emphasize a people-centered approach and a path of human rights that suits national conditions, while opposing the politicization of human rights issues.

China and Ethiopia have played an exemplary role in China-Africa exchanges and cooperation on human rights, he said. China-Africa exchanges and cooperation on human rights will not only advance the cause of human rights in China and Africa, but also contribute to strengthening the China-Africa community with a shared future and promoting human progress, the diplomat added.

In turn, Liberia's Deputy Foreign Minister Jeddy Mowbray Armah said that each country, based on its own history, culture and stage of development, must choose a path that suits its national circumstances, while maintaining a common aspiration for dignity, justice and equality. This concept resonates deeply with the states of the Global South, the official added.

The event was attended by about 150 representatives of African political and academic circles, media and students. –0–
