UN, March 12 /Xinhua/ — The fundamental way to avoid a deterioration of the situation is to end US-Israeli military operations. China's Permanent Representative to the UN, Fu Cong, stated this on Wednesday while explaining his position on the draft UN Security Council resolution on the situation around Iran.

"China is deeply concerned about the rapid escalation of the situation in the Persian Gulf region, which could push the entire Middle East into a dangerous abyss," the Chinese diplomat noted.

The sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of the Gulf Arab states must be fully respected, Fu Cong emphasized. "China does not support Iran's attacks on the Gulf Arab states and condemns all indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians and non-military targets," the Permanent Representative stated.

According to him, the continuation and escalation of the conflict is not in the interests of either side. "China reiterates its call for an immediate end to military action to prevent further escalation and avoid the spread of the conflict," Fu Cong said.

“The parties concerned should return to the correct path of dialogue and negotiation as soon as possible and resolve their differences through equal dialogue,” he explained, adding that China is willing to continue to cooperate with countries in the region and the international community in the interests of peace to promote an early resolution of the conflict and the restoration of peace and stability in the Middle East. –0–

Moscow, March 12 (Xinhua) — Many countries are beginning to better understand the role of Russian oil and gas in ensuring global economic stability. Kirill Dmitriev, Special Presidential Representative for Economic and Investment Cooperation with Foreign Countries and Head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), announced this on Thursday in a Telegram channel following talks in the United States.

"Today, many countries, primarily the United States, are beginning to better understand the key, system-forming role of Russian oil and gas in ensuring global economic stability, as well as the ineffectiveness and destructive nature of sanctions against Russia," he wrote.

K. Dmitriev noted that he visited the United States at the direction of the Russian President. At the meeting of the heads of the working group on economic cooperation between Russia and the United States, they discussed both promising projects that could contribute to the restoration of Russian-American relations and the current crisis in global energy markets, he added.

UNITED NATIONS, March 12 (Xinhua) — The UN Security Council on Wednesday rejected a draft resolution calling on all parties to immediately cease military activity and refrain from further escalation in the Middle East and beyond, and condemning any attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.

The draft resolution proposed by Russia was supported by four countries: Russia, China, Pakistan, and Somalia. The United States and Latvia voted against, and nine other Security Council members abstained. Because the United States holds veto power, the document was not adopted.

“We are deeply disappointed,” said Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya.

Earlier, the Security Council adopted a draft resolution on the current crisis in the Middle East, which was triggered by the US-Israeli military strikes on Iran that began on February 28 and Iran's subsequent retaliatory measures throughout the region.

The draft resolution, submitted by Bahrain on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), was adopted by 13 votes in favor, with two abstentions. The document condemns Iran's attacks on GCC countries and Jordan, demands that Iran immediately cease these attacks, and notes that such actions constitute a violation of international law and a serious threat to international security.

"Let me be clear: this resolution is a clear injustice to my country, the main victim of a blatant act of aggression," said Iran's Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani. "We consider it unjust and illegal, contrary to the UN Charter and international law," he added.

SHENYANG, March 12 (Xinhua) — An international passenger train connecting Dandong in northeast China's Liaoning Province with Pyongyang, the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, began operating on Thursday.

The five-car train departed from the border city of Dandong at 10 a.m. Beijing time and is expected to arrive in Pyongyang at 6:07 p.m. local time.

"I'm very happy to be returning home by train today," said a North Korean passenger who bought a ticket on Wednesday after learning of the passenger train's launch.

Dandong Border Service has taken measures to ensure smooth border inspection on the first day of the passenger train's launch, said Song Ping, an official at the border service, adding that the inspection process for the train has been shortened to less than 30 minutes.

The Dandong-Pyongyang train service will operate daily in both directions. The train from Pyongyang departs at 10:26 AM local time and arrives in Dandong at 4:23 PM Beijing time.

A representative of the international department of China Railway Corporation said the train service will serve as both an important window for serving cross-border passengers and a dynamic link to strengthen the friendship between the two countries. -0-

Recently published reports by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate emphasize that China is using the power of law to protect its verdant mountains and emerald waters. Strict legal mechanisms encompass the entire ecological cycle—from pollution control and environmental restoration to green economic transformation—thus facilitating the construction of a "Beautiful China."

Many NPC deputies and CPPCC National Committee members have noted that supporting high-quality development through high standards of environmental protection clearly demonstrates both the determination and flexibility of the legal system in the field of environmental protection.

The Supreme People's Court, acting in accordance with the law, has stepped up its fight against environmental violations, handling nearly 24,000 criminal cases related to natural resources and the environment. The Supreme People's Procuratorate initiated 47,000 cases to protect public interests and recovered 1.03 billion yuan in compensation for environmental damage.

The draft guidelines for the 15th Five-Year Plan call for "improving the quality of the ecological environment, strengthening the environmental safety barrier, and enhancing the drivers of green development." These provisions elicited significant feedback and enthusiasm from members of parliament and the political advisory council.

Fan Qinghua, an NPC deputy and Party Secretary of Greater Xingang Prefecture in Heilongjiang Province, noted that a legal deterrent mechanism has already been established, ensuring that "no one dares or can harm the environment." This serves as a reliable safeguard for environmental protection and supports the transition to a "green" transformation.

China has established over 2,400 specialized judicial bodies and organizations to handle environmental and natural resource-related cases. This gives the country one of the most extensive and comprehensive environmental justice systems in the world. Five sets of 55 Chinese environmental case law cases have already been included in the UN database.

WASHINGTON, March 12 (Xinhua) — Pentagon officials told U.S. lawmakers that the United States spent more than $11.3 billion in the first six days of its military operation against Iran, The New York Times (NYT) reported on Wednesday.

This figure is considered the most comprehensive preliminary estimate received by Congress to date. It does not include many associated costs, such as the deployment of military equipment and personnel before the initial strikes, the newspaper reported, citing three people familiar with a classified briefing between the Pentagon and Congress.

Lawmakers expect that figure to rise significantly as the Pentagon continues to tally costs accumulated during the first week of the operation, the report said.

The US used AGM-154 precision-guided glide bombs for the initial strikes, each costing between $578,000 and $836,000, the NYT reported. The US Navy acquired approximately 3,000 of these bombs approximately 20 years ago.

As previously reported by the NYT and the Washington Post, Pentagon officials told Congress that the military spent about $5.6 billion on ammunition in just the first two days of the US-Israeli operation, which began on February 28. –0–

Moscow, March 12 (Xinhua) — Telegram must comply with Russian law and maintain contact with authorities to avoid being blocked, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

"We must comply with the provisions of Russian legislation, maintain flexible contact with our authorities, and find a solution to these problems," he said in response to the agency's question.

On Wednesday, at the conference "Modern Media: Technologies, Meanings, Personnel," D. Peskov urged people to consider Max, not Telegram. He argued that the Russian messaging app Max should become more attractive to users in the CIS countries and outperform its competitors.

In mid-February, Roskomnadzor began slowing down Telegram. The agency stated that the service was being restricted due to violations of Russian laws. Media reports that it had been completely blocked as of April 1 were neither confirmed nor denied.
