BELEM, Brazil, November 7 (Xinhua) — Regardless of changes in the international situation, China will firmly adhere to genuine multilateralism and continue to fully support the central status and role of the United Nations in international affairs, Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang said on Thursday.

Ding Xuexiang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the sidelines of the 30th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-30) in Belém, Brazil, as a special representative of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Ding Xuexiang pointed out that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN, and China's cooperation with the UN continues to strengthen.

He said China will promote dialogue and cooperation between countries and make greater contributions to world peace and development.

China is committed to pursuing high-quality, green, and low-carbon development, Ding Xuexiang said, noting that through practical measures, China is continuously improving its own green development while providing high-quality low-carbon products and services to other countries, thereby supporting the global transition to green socio-economic growth.

Ding Xuexiang emphasized that COP30 is the first such conference since global climate governance moved from rule-making to comprehensive implementation.

The Vice Premier said that China expects to strengthen communication and cooperation with all parties to ensure the success of the conference, send a positive signal of its unwavering commitment to upholding multilateralism, strengthen international trust, and jointly promote the construction of a beautiful world where humanity and nature coexist harmoniously.

A. Guterres, for his part, expressed gratitude to China for its consistent support of the UN's activities and praised China's achievements in the field of green development, noting that China is fulfilling its commitments to respond to climate change and taking practical actions that go far beyond the country's promises.

Calling China not only a key leader in global climate governance but also an important pillar of world peace and multilateralism, A. Guterres stated that the UN highly values and supports the Global Governance Initiative put forward by Xi Jinping, which is of great significance for improving and reforming the current global governance system.

The head of the world organization expressed his readiness to further strengthen cooperation with China. –0–

Dmitry Chernyshenko and His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' opened an exhibition dedicated to the 600th anniversary of the Solovetsky Monastery.

The co-chairs of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for the Preservation and Development of the Solovetsky Archipelago—His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko—opened the exhibition "Holy Abode: On the 600th Anniversary of the Solovetsky Monastery" at the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow.

The exhibition is dedicated to the history and spiritual heritage of the Solovetsky Monastery, one of the largest centers of Orthodoxy and culture in the Russian North. The collection is based on icon paintings and decorative and applied art from the 16th to 19th centuries from the collections of the Moscow Kremlin Museums.

"I would like to sincerely thank everyone who cares about preserving these treasures. For those far removed from the Church, these are artistic treasures, and for Orthodox believers, they are, of course, artistic treasures, but first and foremost, they are our national shrines. Suffice it to say that our distant ancestors prayed before these icons. And we still pray before them in the 21st century. This alone is worth reflecting on. If all these were myths and fairy tales, as we were taught, then this veneration would never have survived into the 21st century. But faith is a truly living force, passed down from generation to generation and inspired by the Lord Himself," the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church addressed those present.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that this exhibition can be considered the first event to be implemented from the plan of events dedicated to the celebration of the 600th anniversary of the Solovetsky Monastery.

"At the request of His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus', our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin signed a decree according to which, in honor of the 600th anniversary, the Russian government, together with ministries and the Arkhangelsk region, is carrying out large-scale restoration of the architectural relics and infrastructure of the entire archipelago. We understand that the relics on display at the exhibition, the incredibly beautiful artifacts, carefully preserved by our scholars and custodians, are a visual embodiment of the spiritual tuning fork that is the Solovetsky Monastery. The Russian government, for its part, will take all measures to ensure that this plan is fully realized and implemented," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

The 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on the Solovetsky Archipelago will be celebrated in 2029. Active preparations for the event are already underway.

In preparation for the celebration, more than 170 cultural and educational events are planned, including exhibitions and educational and scientific projects. The opening of the exhibition "Holy Abode: On the 600th Anniversary of the Solovetsky Monastery" is among these events.

The Solovetsky Monastery complex is expected to be restored, and the infrastructure of the Solovetsky settlement will be improved. Funding has been secured for this work.

In 2025, a district hospital, a new terminal building for the Solovki airfield, and a modern industrial and consumer waste management facility were already commissioned in the village of Solovetsky. Construction of a service pier and reconstruction of the Tamarin passenger pier have begun.

The opening of the exhibition "Holy Abode: On the 600th Anniversary of the Solovetsky Monastery" was also attended by Arkhangelsk Region Governor Alexander Tsybulsky, First Deputy Minister of Culture Sergei Obryvalin, and others.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov has become the head of the board of trustees of the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts.

It included representatives of federal and regional executive authorities, business, culture, and public organizations. Participants in the first meeting discussed key issues related to the museum's strategic development, the implementation of projects aimed at promoting folk arts and crafts, and outlined priority areas of activity.

Denis Manturov noted that the museum's development is an important aspect of consolidating society and strengthening its cultural sovereignty, as well as educating future generations in traditional spiritual and moral values.

"In 2031, the museum will celebrate its 50th anniversary. By this anniversary, a range of projects must be completed, including major renovations, including the museum's reconstruction, expansion, and modernization of exhibition spaces and storage facilities. Furthermore, a thorough renovation must also encompass the museum's supporting infrastructure, which makes the visit more comfortable and attractive for visitors. Particular emphasis must be placed on strengthening the restoration workshops and expanding the collections. These and many other objectives are included in the museum's draft development concept," stated the First Deputy Prime Minister.

"The museum has enormous potential: its collection houses a unique collection of decorative and applied arts, from authentic folk crafts to contemporary design pieces. The institution also implements numerous scientific, educational, and exhibition projects," emphasized Deputy Minister of Culture Andrei Malyshev.

"As our chairman has determined, we need to move in two directions simultaneously to reach our anniversary. We must improve our current operations—expand our exhibition and publishing efforts, and implement digital projects. And we must also prepare for the modernization of our infrastructure—the building, its equipment, and the landscaping of the grounds. It's inspiring that our meetings will be held regularly, quarterly," noted Tatyana Rybkina, Director of the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts.

China regrets that the draft UN Security Council resolution on adjusting sanctions against the interim president of Syria does not address the reasonable concerns of interested parties, according to China's Permanent Representative to the UN.

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Thursday expressed regret that the UN Security Council, with the encouragement of the United States, approved a draft resolution on adjusting sanctions against the interim president of Syria, saying the draft resolution does not address the reasonable concerns of interested parties.

On Thursday, the UN Security Council voted to adopt Resolution 2799, which removes Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Shara'a and interim Interior Minister Anas Khattab from the sanctions list targeting the Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda. China abstained from the vote.

Explaining the Chinese side's rationale, Fu Cong stated that China's position on adjusting UN Security Council sanctions related to Syria has been extremely clear from the very beginning.

“We believe that the UN Security Council must take fully into account the counterterrorism and security situation in Syria, the complex potential consequences that could arise from sanctions adjustments, as well as Syria’s long-term interests and real needs, in order to properly respond to the reasonable concerns of all parties and make prudent decisions based on careful consideration,” the Permanent Representative noted.

Unfortunately, the draft resolution put to the vote does not reflect the above-mentioned principles and spirit, he stated, adding that “in connection with this, China had to abstain from voting.”

Noting that China had actively participated in the UN Security Council's consultations on the draft, Fu Cong noted that China, along with some Security Council members, had expressed reasonable concerns, especially regarding foreign terrorist fighters hiding in Syria, and had put forward many constructive proposals for amendments.

However, the United States, as the author of this resolution, failed to fully heed the views of all UN Security Council members and, to further its own political agenda, forced the Security Council to act, even though significant differences remained among its members. China expresses regret for this, the diplomat stated.

Fu Cong recalled that Syria is currently undergoing a political transition and faces a fragile security situation and the difficult task of combating terrorism. Many foreign terrorist fighters have taken advantage of this situation for their own gain, seriously threatening peace and security in Syria, the region, and beyond, the Permanent Representative stated.

According to him, the fight against terrorism is the foundation of Syria's national recovery. Any UN Security Council action on the country must fully take into account the counterterrorism situation and contribute to achieving the Security Council's counterterrorism goals. Any support and assistance provided to Syria must not undermine the integrity and effectiveness of the UN Security Council sanctions regime, Fu Cong noted.

The resolution just adopted reaffirms the UN Security Council's demands to combat terrorism and makes it clear that Syria must fulfill its obligations in this regard, take decisive measures, combat terrorist activities, and counter the threat posed by foreign fighters, including members of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement in Syria, Fu Cong continued, adding that the Syrian transitional government must fulfill its anti-terrorism obligations, take appropriate measures to achieve significant progress, and earn the trust of the international community.

Currently, more than 160 organizations and over 430 individuals remain on the sanctions list targeting ISIS and al-Qaeda. Restrictive measures imposed against them, such as travel bans, asset freezes, and arms embargoes, remain in effect.

All states are obligated to strictly implement the UN Security Council sanctions resolutions, preventing any opportunities for all organizations and individuals included in the sanctions lists, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, to receive funding, weapons and other forms of support directly or indirectly from abroad, and thereby pose a threat to the security of other countries, concluded Fu Cong. -0-
