QINGDAO, July 21 (Xinhua) — With the global economic architecture changing rapidly, member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) have been continuously deepening the connectivity of supply chains and industrial chains through pragmatic cooperation, according to participants at the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Conference held recently in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province.

Li Gang, assistant general manager of Sinopec Group Co., Ltd., expressed hope for deeper cooperation in the upstream and downstream sectors of industrial chains, including joint projects in crude oil refining, jointly upgrading industrial technology, and building more competitive chemical industry clusters, so as to promote the coordinated development of manufacturing industries in the region.

Logistics and transportation are an important pillar for deepening the connectivity of supply chains and industrial chains. According to the management committee of the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone in Qingdao, 4,500 China-Europe international railway trains have been operated on the zone, linking it with 54 cities in 23 countries.

In addition, at present, the China-SCO Demonstration Zone is also the leader in China in terms of the number of truck shipments under the TIR /International Road Transport/ system.

According to a local international economic and trade company, the TIR system has greatly improved the efficiency of international trade. With the introduction of the “TIR plus two-way cold chain transportation” model, fruits and vegetables produced in China’s Shandong, Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong and other regions can also be delivered to Belarus, Russia and other countries.

"We deliver these fruits and vegetables to St. Petersburg in a maximum of 6 days. For comparison, the transportation of these products by traditional road transport took about 15 days. This business model has attracted many Russian buyers and Chinese exporters of fruits and vegetables," the company noted.

According to experts, the continuous deepening of the interconnectedness of supply chains and production chains within the SCO not only promotes the integration development of the regional economy, but also helps to ensure the stability of the global supply chain. -0-

TOKYO, July 21 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba vowed on Monday to remain in office despite a major defeat in the House of Councillors (upper house) election where the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partner failed to secure a majority.

Speaking at a press conference, he acknowledged the poor election results and stressed that he felt a great responsibility. “The most important thing now is to avoid stagnation in national politics,” the prime minister said, promising to make efforts to fulfill the duties befitting a leading party.

His comments come amid growing public discontent over rising living costs and policy mistakes that analysts say contributed to the ruling coalition's election defeat.

In the current election, Japanese people voted for candidates for 125 of the 248 seats in the House of Councillors. After the final vote count ended Monday morning, the LDP had won only 39 seats, while its partner, the Komeito Party, had won eight. The coalition had planned to win 50 seats, but failed to do so.

Now the coalition's MPs have 122 seats in the upper house, which is less than the 125 needed for a majority.

Despite the failure, S. Ishiba stressed the need for stability and continuity in the government and officially announced his intention to continue as prime minister. –0–
