Beijing, November 7 (Xinhua) — The 12th China-Central Asia Cooperation Forum was held in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where in-depth discussions on educational partnerships were held. The event aimed to promote practical educational cooperation between China and Central Asian countries to strengthen mutual understanding and promote joint development.

In recent years, BISU has been actively expanding cooperation with universities, think tanks, and research institutions in the region by deepening educational exchanges, creating an educational community within the Belt and Road Initiative, developing academic exchanges, and publishing research papers. This contributes to the training of highly qualified personnel and the digital transformation of education, stated BISU Party Committee Chairman Wang Dinghua.

Joint projects, including the establishment of overseas branches, specialized institutes, and Lu Ban Workshops, demonstrate the extensive cooperation between China and Uzbekistan in the field of education, noted participants from Uzbekistan.

Representatives of Turkmenistan, in turn, also emphasized the significant progress in cooperation with China in the scientific and educational spheres, noting that in recent years, many universities and schools in Turkmenistan have begun teaching Chinese, and their teachers regularly undergo internships in China, which reflects, in particular, the growing interest of the Turkmen academic community in Chinese culture. -0-

BELEM, Brazil, November 7 (Xinhua) — China will accelerate a comprehensive green transition in socio-economic development while actively working to achieve a peak in carbon emissions. Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and a member of the State Council, announced this in his speech at the Climate Summit here on Thursday. He arrived in Belem as a special representative of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Praising Brazil's active and important contribution to advancing global climate governance as President of the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30), the Deputy Prime Minister expressed hope for the event's complete success.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, and global climate governance is entering a crucial stage of development, said Ding Xuexiang. China has achieved outstanding results in implementing its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for the period up to 2030, he added.

At the UN Climate Summit, Xi Jinping formally unveiled China's NDCs for 2035, the Vice Premier noted. They cover all economic sectors and all greenhouse gases, and for the first time, set an absolute emissions reduction target, demonstrating China's strong commitment and enormous efforts, he emphasized.

Recently, participants at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee discussed and adopted recommendations for drafting the 15th Five-Year Plan for Socioeconomic Development. According to Ding Xuexiang, these recommendations call for promoting carbon emission reduction, reducing pollution, expanding green spaces, ensuring economic growth, building a solid foundation for environmental safety, and building momentum for green development.

Humanity currently stands at a new crossroads, requiring all parties to commit to genuine multilateralism, strengthen unity and cooperation, and promote sustainable and long-term progress in global climate governance, the Deputy Prime Minister stated. He put forward three proposals for addressing the current challenges.

First, it is necessary to stay on the right course, build trust, coordinate the goals of environmental protection, economic development, job creation and poverty alleviation, improve people's living conditions and climate management in a coordinated manner, and promote high-quality development to bring greater benefits to people around the world.

Secondly, it is necessary to implement measures to combat climate change, respect the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and fully implement the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.

Developed countries should take the lead in reducing emissions, faithfully fulfill financial commitments, and provide developing countries with more support in technology and capacity building, Ding Xuexiang explained.

Third, it is necessary to deepen openness and cooperation, create favorable conditions for international economic and trade cooperation, strengthen international cooperation in green technologies and industries, ensure the free circulation of high-quality green products, and more effectively meet the global demand for sustainable development.

During a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the sidelines of the conference, Ding Xuexiang said that multilateralism and the UN are currently facing unprecedented challenges.

Regardless of how the international situation develops, China will adhere to genuine multilateralism, continue to fully support the fundamental position and role of the UN in international affairs, promote dialogue and cooperation among countries, and make greater contributions to world peace and development.

The Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China noted that China is firmly committed to green development and is willing to strengthen communication and cooperation with all parties to jointly advance the idea of building a beautiful world in which harmony reigns between humanity and nature.

In turn, A. Guterres thanked China for its consistent support of the UN's work, calling it not only a key leader in global climate governance, but also an important pillar of world peace and multilateralism.

The Global Governance Initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, is of great importance for improving and reforming the existing global governance system. The UN looks forward to continued close cooperation with China, emphasized Antonio Guterres.

Also on Thursday, Ding Xuexiang attended a dinner hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to celebrate the Rainforest Forever Foundation and delivered a speech.

According to him, in recent years, China has achieved outstanding results in the fields of ecology and environmental protection, as well as economic and social development in its tropical regions.

Protecting tropical forests is essential to the survival and well-being of humanity. China is ready to strengthen cooperation in this area with all parties and make a more significant contribution to global climate and environmental governance, the Vice Premier of the State Council concluded.

Rosneft supported a project to preserve the Forest Nenets language.

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As part of a grant project from RN-Purneftegaz (part of Rosneft's oil and gas production complex), researchers from the Faculty of Humanities at the Higher School of Economics developed teaching materials on the Forest Nenets language. The project aims to preserve the national cultures and traditional ways of life of the indigenous peoples of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

University linguists, in collaboration with teachers and activists promoting the preservation of national culture, have developed educational materials on the Forest Nenets language for elementary grades, a workbook for practical assignments, and a language trainer. The educational materials are already available online. Furthermore, after approval by relevant agencies, the materials are planned to be published and used in the educational process at national boarding schools.

The Forest Nenets language differs significantly from Tundra Nenets, which is spoken by most of the indigenous people of Yamal. Currently, the total number of native speakers of the "forest" language is estimated at approximately 1,000. The population remains strong, but since teaching their native language in educational institutions is organized using Tundra Nenets textbooks, which are not the Forest Nenets' native language, the number of native speakers is declining. A book developed for reading in Forest Nenets will help address the lack of literature.

The Nenets language is characterized by a complex system of rules for word formation and inflection. An online declension and conjugation trainer will help teach children correct word formation. Students will have the opportunity to complete homework assignments and take online tests to learn the correct word forms.

Preserving the national culture of the indigenous peoples of the North and their traditional way of life is a key focus of Rosneft's social policy. The Company's enterprises implement numerous social projects in the regions where they operate, developing the infrastructure of northern villages, supporting reindeer herding families, and improving the facilities of educational institutions, social facilities, and healthcare facilities in areas traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples.

Previously, with the support of RN-Purneftegaz, a project was implemented to prepare children for school directly in families' homes – in nomadic kindergartens. A collection of methodological materials, "Trends in Nomadic Education," was compiled, including developmental programs in the Nenets language, unique practices, and lesson plans for preschool education for children in nomadic groups.

RN-Purneftegaz is one of Rosneft's main oil and gas production centers in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

But 61 years ago, Vladimir Glukhov didn't come to the Polytechnic University alone. Almost simultaneously with his son's first year, his father, Viktor Filippovich Glukhov, a former career military man and veteran of the Great Patriotic War, found a job in the Department of Higher Mathematics. So, perhaps, together they became the founders. family dynasty of polytechnicians, which we are talking about today in our traditional column "Dynasty".

At the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation (CCR) forum, a new system of state migration policy was discussed. Vladimir Volokh, professor of the Department of Public Administration and Political Technologies at the State University of Management and a member of the Presidential Council for Interethnic Relations, spoke.

In his opening remarks, Vladimir Zorin, Chairman of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation's Commission on Interethnic, Interreligious Relations, and Migration, noted that the meeting was discussing a strategic planning document, which is a compelling argument for strengthening the country's sovereignty and security.

Alexander Perezhogin, Head of the Information Support Department for the Implementation of State Migration Policy at the Department of Digital Development and Information Technology of the Service for Citizenship and Registration of Foreign Citizens of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, discussed the practical mechanisms for implementing the concept.

In his speech, Professor Volokh emphasized that the Concept of State Migration Policy for 2026–2030, approved by decree of the President of Russia, was the result of a broad public debate involving government officials, experts, and public organizations at the federal and regional levels. Vladimir Aleksandrovich emphasized that the new doctrine will prioritize the implementation of new control and automation tools, as well as the targeted, organized recruitment of migrant workers. After all, the document, for the first time, enshrines the creation of a digital profile for foreign citizens and the development of a unified system for interdepartmental data exchange. Furthermore, the concept provides for facilitating the relocation to Russia of foreigners who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, as well as assessing the effectiveness of agencies.

Experts noted the importance of business participation in implementing migration policy. Proposals were made to improve the digital maturity of services, reduce paperwork, and create a registry of unscrupulous intermediaries. Company representatives expressed confidence that automating notification procedures will reduce errors and the risk of counterfeiting.

Participants in the thematic section discussed issues related to the stay of migrant children in the country, including education and Russian language proficiency. The need to develop an adaptation infrastructure and differentiated approach to migrant and refugee children to prevent their social isolation was emphasized.

The speakers agreed that the updated concept will become an effective tool for strengthening sovereignty, security, and integration, and that its successful implementation is impossible without the active participation of civil society. It was decided to continue working on the proposals in working groups and submit them to the relevant agencies for inclusion in the action plan through 2030.
