Beijing, November 27 (Xinhua) — China welcomes more countries and international organizations to join the Green Mining Initiative for International Trade and Economic Cooperation and their broader support for the initiative, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian said at a regular press briefing on Thursday.

According to her, China intends to conduct active practical cooperation with all parties and support the operation of mutually beneficial, fair, reasonable, stable and smooth global value chains in the green mineral resource sector.

He Yongqian recalled that China put forward the Initiative for International Trade and Economic Cooperation in Green Mining at the recently held 20th G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The initiative has currently received support from more than 20 countries and international organizations, the official representative said.

She stated that China has consistently been an active participant and driving force in the global green transition.

As He Yongqian emphasized, through this initiative, China and the relevant parties will promote the formation of a new type of partnership in the field of mineral resources – open, mutually beneficial, fair and rational.

Noting that the G20 summit was held on the African continent for the first time, she also recalled that China had released its action plan for implementing the G20 initiative aimed at supporting industrialization in Africa and the least developed countries. This plan includes approximately 50 practical cooperation projects between China and Africa in areas such as infrastructure, digital industry, and green mining.

China hopes that this step will help strengthen global consensus and joint efforts in addressing industrialization, which is a priority for the socio-economic development of African countries, and will contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development, He Yongqian said.

China will take new practical actions to support the industrialization process in African countries, respecting their own wishes, and will work with them to build an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era, the official spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce of China added.

Bishkek, November 27 (Xinhua) — Over the past decade, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has become a respected regional structure. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the regular session of the CSTO Collective Security Council, which took place on Thursday in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.

As Vladimir Putin noted, the CSTO reliably guarantees security and stability in the Eurasian space and protects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its member states. "Given geopolitical tensions, it is entirely logical that the task of promoting the collective interests and initiatives of the CSTO member states on the global stage has become paramount," he emphasized.

During the session, it was announced that Russia would assume the CSTO chairmanship in 2026. According to the Russian president, one of the key priorities of Russia's chairmanship will be developing cooperation among CSTO states to ensure the organization's technological leadership in the military sphere. "Russia will continue to closely cooperate with its allies on all matters related to strengthening the CSTO's military potential, focusing our efforts on enhancing the combat readiness of national contingents and improving the command and control of collective forces," Putin stated.

The session was chaired by Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov. It was attended by the presidents of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, as well as CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov.

Speaking about the intersessional period, S. Japarov emphasized that concrete steps had been taken to counter modern security challenges and threats, and that work had been underway to strengthen the organization's international authority. He noted the implementation of practical measures in the areas of military, military-economic, and military-technical cooperation, as well as a number of major exercises held within the CSTO framework throughout 2025.

"These and other events successfully ensured the coordination of the actions of the armed forces of the member states and increased their readiness to carry out assigned tasks," the President of Kyrgyzstan added.

Following the session, more than ten documents were signed, including the Declaration of the CSTO Collective Security Council. It was also announced that the current Deputy Secretary General of the CSTO, Kyrgyz expert in international relations Taalatbek Masadykov, will become the organization's new Secretary General.

Moscow, November 27 (Xinhua) – China's sustainable development brings certainty to global development, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui stated in an interview with TASS, published on the news agency's website on Thursday.

"China's contribution to global economic growth consistently stands at around 30 percent. China is the most sustainable and reliable driving force behind global economic development. China's development is inseparable from the world, and the world's prosperity also depends on China," the ambassador emphasized.

He recalled that at the recently concluded Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in Beijing, the CPC Central Committee's proposals for drafting the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development were reviewed and adopted. These proposals outline the general directions and strategic framework for China's development over the next five years. "This is another comprehensive mobilization and planning exercise aimed at capitalizing on the current favorable situation for growth and advancement of China's modernization, which will undoubtedly have a significant and long-term impact on the country's future development," the diplomat noted.

Zhang Hanhui assured that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), China will continue to comprehensively deepen reforms, further expand high-level opening-up to the outside world, promote high-quality economic development, advance inclusive and mutually beneficial economic globalization, and strive to build an open world economy. "China, steadily pursuing high-quality development, is undoubtedly a stabilizing factor for global economic growth and an accelerator for advancing global development," the ambassador stated, adding that China will bring even more certainty to global development amid turbulence and dramatic changes in the international situation.

The diplomat also noted that the 15th Five-Year Plan emphasizes the need to implement four global initiatives: the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative. "These four initiatives are an important public service presented to the world by President Xi Jinping. Each initiative has different emphases, but they are not mutually exclusive and, taken together, serve as an important foundation for building a community with a shared future for humanity in terms of development, security, civilization, and governance," he explained.

As Zhang Hanhui stated, the Global Security Initiative (GSII) is focused on resolving international disputes through dialogue and consultation, proposes new approaches to international security cooperation, and provides a feasible path to improving global security governance. It has received broad recognition from the international community, including Russia. "Security issues concern the well-being of the peoples of all countries, the noble cause of world peace and development, and the future destiny of humanity. China stands ready to work with Russia to adapt to a profound restructuring of the international architecture in a spirit of solidarity and to address complex and intertwined security challenges with a win-win mindset," the diplomat emphasized.

He emphasized that, within the framework of the strategic tasks set by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, China will confidently advance along the path of high-quality development. "A China that is constantly developing and increasingly open to the outside world will bring more opportunities to the world. A China that adheres to peaceful development and actively participates in global governance will make a greater contribution to world peace and stability. A China that maintains stable relations with Russia and other countries will gather greater strength to build a community with a shared future for humanity," Zhang Hanhui concluded.

Moscow, November 27 /Xinhua/ — China resolutely opposes any form of military contact with Taiwan or arms supplies to the island. This is a gross violation of the one-China principle and could lead to a dangerous situation. This was stated by Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui in an interview with TASS, published on the news agency's website on Thursday.

"China firmly opposes any form of military contact between any country or region and the Taiwan region of China and firmly opposes arms supplies to Taiwan," Zhang Hanhui said, commenting on the ongoing Western arms supplies to the island.

"US arms sales to Taiwan grossly violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués. These are seriously provocative actions that affect China's sovereignty and security interests. Such actions not only fail to change the historical inevitability of the eventual reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also push the situation in the Strait to an even more dangerous point," the Chinese diplomat emphasized.

Zhang Hanhui recalled that China declared October 25th as Taiwan Liberation Day and has consistently taken measures to support the island, improving trade, postal, and transportation links. A large number of Taiwanese entrepreneurs conduct business on the Chinese mainland, Taiwanese students go to study on the Chinese mainland, and contacts between the two sides of the border are becoming increasingly close.

"The unification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait meets the aspirations of the people and is in line with the overall development trend. Attempts by separatist forces seeking 'Taiwan independence' or anti-China forces to divide China are doomed to failure," the ambassador stated.

“We highly appreciate Russia’s unwavering commitment to the one-China principle on the Taiwan issue and its consistent firm support for China, which fully reflects the high level of China-Russia relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic coordination in the new era,” Zhang Hanhui concluded. –0–

BEIJING, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) — China calls on the United States to seriously heed the international community's call for justice and immediately lift the blockade and sanctions on Cuba, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a regular ministry briefing on Thursday.

The diplomat's statement came after the UN Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on human rights, Elena Dovgan, visited Cuba and stated in a preliminary report that US sanctions are having a serious negative impact on the economy and humanitarian situation in Cuba and violate numerous norms of international law.

As Guo Jiakun pointed out, this report is fully consistent with the recent UN General Assembly resolution, adopted by an overwhelming majority, calling on the United States to end the embargo on Cuba.

Stressing that the Chinese side has consistently opposed the US blockade and sanctions against Cuba, Guo Jiakun said that China urges the United States to seriously heed the international community's call for justice, immediately lift the restrictive measures imposed against Cuba, and remove Cuba from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Moscow, November 27 /Xinhua/ — Russia has repeatedly warned Japan against deploying American-made medium-range missiles on its territory. Japan's remilitarization policy could only lead to increased tensions and negatively impact stability and security in the region, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing on Thursday.

"We are closely monitoring all statements and steps by the Japanese leadership within the framework of their adopted course… toward the remilitarization of Japan. We have previously repeatedly drawn attention to the negative impact of Tokyo's policy on stability and security in our shared region. Through diplomatic channels, including the sending of a corresponding note from the ministry, we have warned Japan in the strongest possible terms about the inadmissibility of deploying American-made medium-range missiles on its territory under any pretext—permanent, temporary, or otherwise," Zakharova said in response to a Xinhua reporter's question about Tokyo's plans to deploy medium-range missiles on islands near Taiwan.

According to her, Tokyo's "aggressive militaristic course" and such military measures "further escalate the regional security situation and pose serious risks to neighboring states. At the same time, they give rise to a harsh response to the implementation of Japan's specific plans in this area."

The Russian Foreign Ministry's official spokesperson emphasized that "it is necessary to return to the foundations on which Japan's post-war peaceful development rests. These foundations were laid by the results of World War II, which, unfortunately, as we are once again seeing, are still not fully recognized by the Japanese side."
