Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, spoke at the 3rd Forum of the scientific and educational consortium "Eurasian Network University" (ENU), which took place in the Kyrgyz city of Osh.

The large-scale ESU forum, whose secretariat has been located at the State University of Management since its inception, was held at Osh State University (OshSU) and the B. Sydykov Kyrgyz-Uzbek International University, bringing together heads of ministries and agencies, rectors of leading universities, representatives of businesses, international organizations, and the expert community from the Eurasian Economic Union.

Osh State University Rector Kudaiberdi Kojobekov opened the event, emphasizing the importance of the forum as an effective mechanism for integrating education, science, and business in the Eurasian region. Nurlan Omurov, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Kyrgyz Republic; Talant Arstankulov, Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic in Osh Oblast; and Dmitry Avram, Deputy Head of the Rossotrudnichestvo Representative Office in the Kyrgyz Republic and Director of the Russian House in Osh, also addressed the participants with welcoming remarks.

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, State Secretary of the Union State of Russia and Belarus and Professor at the State University of Management Sergey Glazyev, Director of the Department of Macroeconomic Policy of the Eurasian Economic Commission Alexey Vedev, and Director of the Department of Multilateral Humanitarian Cooperation and Cultural Relations of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexander Alimov joined the event via video link.

Following the welcoming remarks, a plenary session was held, moderated by Dmitry Bryukhanov, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management and Head of the ESU Secretariat. Presentations were made by representatives of the Russian State Duma and the Ministry of Education and Science, sectoral ministries and agencies from Russia and the Kyrgyz Republic, and the rectors of ESU member universities.

In the plenary session, reports were presented by:

Vladimir Sipyagin, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education; Aleksey Poyda, First Secretary of the Russian Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic, representative of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science; Dmitry Repnikov, Chairman of the Expert Council for International Cooperation under the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education; Mikhail Shvetsov, Rector of Mari State University, and Mikhail Petropavlovsky, Advisor to the Rector; Gulnaz Supayeva, Rector of M. Ryskulbekov Kyrgyz University of Economics; Igor Alekseev, Rector of V. N. Tatishchev Astrakhan State University.

At the plenary session, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of our university, presented the results of our collaboration with partners in the Eurasian Economic Union and the University of Management's experience in implementing continuing professional education programs in the EAEU.

Thus, in 2022, the State University of Management was one of the initiators of the Eurasian Network University (ENU) research and education consortium, which has already united 38 universities from seven Eurasian countries. One of the priority areas of our university's cooperation with EAEU universities within the ENU consortium is the development and implementation of advanced training and continuing professional education (CPE) programs aimed at training qualified personnel from government agencies, enterprises, and businesses in EAEU countries. In 2024 alone, GUU developed and offered 17 such programs, with 324 quotas allocated by Rossotrudnichestvo. This year, more than 190 people have already joined the educational sessions.

"Reviews show a particularly high interest in such educational programs in the EAEU countries, largely due to the absence of a language barrier. I am confident that the implementation of such projects will help develop a new generation of managers in the EAEU region, operating based on specifically developed competencies and practical skills in building international economic cooperation," our rector concluded.

One of the forum's key outcomes was the initiative to establish the EAEU Center for Innovative Technologies, an association of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs, aimed at supporting applied research, implementing technology projects, and developing cooperation between universities and businesses. The organizers emphasized that the results of the main Eurasian educational dialogue will form the basis for a new roadmap for integration in education and science through 2030.

The consortium's events concluded with a tour of the Sulaiman-Too historical and archaeological complex and a series of working meetings for the participants.

Tehran, October 23 (Xinhua) – Tehran will not return to the negotiating table unless Washington drops its excessive and unreasonable demands. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated this on Wednesday upon his arrival in Mashhad to participate in a conference, the IRNA news agency reported.

He explained the suspension of indirect nuclear talks with Washington, as well as dialogue with the European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, by the US's persistent "excessive demands." "We have always demonstrated our commitment to diplomatic solutions. However, this does not mean abandoning the rights of the Iranian people," the Foreign Minister added.

A. Araghchi emphasized that it is impossible to resume dialogue “unless the United States changes its approach and recognizes that negotiations must be based on mutual respect and conducted on an equal basis.”

Iran and the United States were preparing for a sixth round of nuclear talks when Israel launched a surprise airstrike on several sites in the Islamic Republic, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. On June 22, the US military joined the attacks, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.

URUMQI, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) — From January to September this year, cargo turnover through the Horgos checkpoint amounted to 34.88 million tons, up 1.8 percent year-on-year, according to data from the Horgos Customs.

The Horgos checkpoint also ranked first in this indicator among all checkpoints in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR, Northwest China).

This year, there has been a steady increase in freight traffic through the Khorgos checkpoint, which is located on the border between China and Kazakhstan, making it an important hub for trade between China and Central Asia and Europe.

Through Khorgos, China mainly imported electromechanical products, raw copper and copper materials, agricultural products, foodstuffs, metal ore and ore sands, while new energy vehicles, electromechanical products, high-tech products, clothing, textile yarns, fabrics and their products dominated the exports.

According to customs data, 296,000 vehicles were exported through the Khorgos checkpoint from January to September of this year, a 1.7 percent increase year-on-year. This figure reached a historic high.

TAIPEI, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) — More than 100 representatives from various walks of life in Taiwan on Wednesday called for a correct view of history and the promotion of peace and prosperity across the Taiwan Strait at a seminar to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation from Japanese occupation and the island's return to China.

This year also marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

After suffering defeat in the war with Japan in 1895, the Qing Dynasty government was forced to cede Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan. Fifty years later, the Chinese people triumphed against Japanese aggression during World War II, ending Japan's colonial rule in Taiwan and returning the island to their homeland.

At the seminar, Kuomintang Vice Chairman Xia Liyan noted that the leadership of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is promoting a separatist historical narrative while simultaneously imposing restrictions on cross-Strait exchanges.

He called on the island to organize more Taiwan Strait-themed events, such as the celebration of Taiwan's return to China after the island's liberation from Japanese occupation, to help Taiwanese people gain a more accurate understanding of cross-Strait relations and deepen their sense of national identity.

New Party Chairman Wu Chengdian emphasized that Taiwanese people experienced immense joy and pride after Taiwan's return to China in 1945. This event marked the victory of the Chinese people, which contrasts sharply with the term "end of the war" repeatedly used by the DPP leadership.

The current meeting, held at a time when the DPP leadership is trying to replace that term with "war end," has profound historical significance, said Wang Chuo-chung, president of Taiwan's Meihua Media, calling on the public to always remember the historic event.

On Wednesday evening, the Taiwan Foundation for the Progressive Development of Chinese Culture held a poetry reading to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's return to the motherland at Taipei's Zhongshan Hall.

An NSU scientist has discovered the shortest possible pulse duration in fiber lasers.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A practical method for achieving the shortest pulse duration in all-fiber lasers was developed by Sergei Kobtsev, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Head of the Department of Laser Physics and Innovative Technologies at Novosibirsk State University. The results of his work in this area were published in the article "Production of ultrashort pulses in fiber lasers" ("Obtaining ultrashort pulses in fiber lasers"). The article became one of the most downloaded publications of the journal "Journal of the Optical Society of America B" in July-September 2025. The research was conducted within the framework of the project "New fiber short-pulse laser systems incorporating advanced composite materials, intelligent technologies and metrological extensions," supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

Fiber lasers are a promising type of laser, distinguished by improved key user parameters—the elimination of the need for precise laser cavity tuning, effective natural heat dissipation, efficient generation, and compactness. However, producing ultrashort pulses in these lasers is a challenging task due to increased dispersion and nonlinearity, often requiring the use of bulk optical elements. Such elements significantly reduce the advantages of fiber (or solid fiber) lasers.

"Sometimes, fiber lasers are used to describe combined configurations containing only a minority of fiber components, while the majority of the optical elements are bulk. Such combined fiber-bulk lasers lose important advantages associated with solid-fiber lasers. Although such combined fiber-bulk lasers can produce pulses lasting a few femtoseconds, these configurations differ little from traditional solid-state bulk lasers with their inherent drawbacks. We were interested in the minimum pulse duration possible in solid-fiber lasers, especially with fixed polarization. It turned out that such lasers can generate pulses of picosecond duration and longer," explained Sergey Kobtsev.

The results of this work are of interest to a wide range of specialists using fiber components in research and development. The ability to generate picosecond light pulses in all-fiber lasers expands their applications while maintaining the advantages of this type of laser. Given the increasing prevalence of all-fiber lasers, their generation characteristics are of great interest.

"Fiber lasers are undergoing rapid development. A few years ago, it seemed that fiber lasers could replace all other laser types due to their significant advantages. However, numerous studies have shown that these advantages are inherent not to all fiber lasers (combined, etc.), but specifically to all-fiber lasers. It became interesting to determine at what pulse durations the all-fiber configuration could be combined with short pulses. A detailed study of the problem revealed a solution: starting with pulse durations in the picosecond range, they can be generated in all-fiber lasers with fixed polarization. The mechanism for generating ultrashort pulses is also important, but a fundamental solution has already been demonstrated," explained Sergey Kobtsev.

A top manager of the B1 Group of Companies, a leader in the Russian audit and consulting services market, met with NSU students.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A meeting between students and management representatives of the B1 Group of Companies was held at the Faculty of Economics at Novosibirsk State University. Participants discussed a wide range of topics, from the prospects for the development of the Russian and global economies to the intricacies of building a career at a major financial company and the secrets of personal development.

The B1 Group of Companies offers multidisciplinary services in audit, strategic, technological, and business consulting, transactions, valuation, taxation, law, and business support, and is one of the leaders in the domestic market in its field.

B1 has been a long-standing and reliable partner of NSU: the collaboration has been ongoing for over twenty years in a variety of formats, from specialized educational programs to internships for students at B1's Novosibirsk branch.

"I studied economics at NSU, and soon after joining the company, I convinced management that university graduates offer exceptional training. Since then, the number of our university graduates within the B1 team has only grown. It's fair to say that the Novosibirsk office was opened precisely because of the large number of talented NSU graduates," said Mikhail Khachaturyan, B1 partner and head of the audit and related services department.

For over ten years, B1 employees—graduates of the NSU Faculty of Economics—have been teaching the course "Financial Statement Analysis" at their home department. For a long time, Timofey Komarov, a partner in the Audit and Related Services Department and an NSU graduate, has been responsible for this project at B1 Group. This course is very popular among students of the Faculty of Economics, with an enrollment of approximately 100 students. Not many academic programs can boast such a large number of students.

However, the meeting focused more on how the financial, consulting, and auditing sectors of the economy will develop in the coming years and how university graduates can find a worthy place in this market.

"I'd like to give the students some advice on how to start their careers. And, most importantly, don't worry about what you know now; be ready to learn everything new. I'm often asked what they test for during interviews. First and foremost, we look at a person's intelligence: we want smart people to come, and we'll teach them the specifics of the job along the way. In this regard, NSU's strategy is very appropriate: its motto is "We teach you to think." That's why we've developed such a good partnership. Employees who think, are willing to learn, and develop find it easier to advance their careers, not just with us but with most companies," Mikhail Khachaturyan emphasized.

"B1 is a striking example of the Faculty of Economics' collaboration with representatives of the real economy, but it's not the only one. Currently, approximately 20 elective courses are taught by bank employees, including those of the Central Bank, consulting and auditing firms, and NSO ministries. Each course is supervised by a full-time faculty member. Importantly, these courses are integrated into the curriculum of each program, and their programs are tailored to the needs of the modern economy. But B1, as a participant in the educational process at NSU's Faculty of Economics, has one undeniable advantage: they have clearly established the "training-internship-job" chain. This is invaluable for both students and the faculty," noted Alla Komarova, PhD, Deputy Dean of the NSU Faculty of Economics for Economics.

UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — United Nations humanitarian agencies said Wednesday that providing vital support to the northern Gaza Strip remains a challenge despite a ceasefire taking effect more than 10 days ago.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on October 10, the global organization and its partners have made progress in scaling up the response, particularly in the central and southern Gaza Strip.

However, the ongoing closure of the Zikim and Erez crossings, which provide direct access to northern Gaza, is making it extremely difficult to deliver humanitarian aid to the area, OCHA said.

Meanwhile, UN partners monitoring population flows across Gaza have reported more than 425,000 displacements from southern to northern areas of the Strip since October 10.

UNFPA Deputy Executive Director Andrew Saberton, who just returned from Gaza, told reporters that the agency was able to bring in some aid last week through the Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem crossing.

"We are distributing medical supplies and equipment, including incubators, maternity beds, and fetal monitoring machines, which were pre-positioned inside Gaza, to hospitals," he said. "However, the flow of aid into Gaza since the ceasefire has been far from sufficient."

OCHA said that in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, six of 10 humanitarian missions coordinated with Israeli authorities were carried out, including the delivery of water tanks, hygiene kits and fuel from crossing points into Gaza. –0–

Paris, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) — Louvre director Laurence des Cars on Wednesday acknowledged shortcomings in the museum's surveillance system and announced a series of new security measures.

Speaking to the French Senate (the upper house of parliament), L. de Car said the museum's CCTV cameras were insufficient and that Sunday's jewelry theft exposed several "weak points."

"We are experiencing a terrible failure at the Louvre, for which I take my share of responsibility," she said, adding that she had submitted her resignation, but the culture minister had rejected it.

L. de Car announced a number of measures to enhance security, including strengthening perimeter protection with anti-vehicle barriers, expanding and upgrading the surveillance system throughout the museum complex, and asking the Ministry of the Interior to establish a police station inside the museum.

She defended the museum's existing €80 million/US$92.89 million security plan, dismissing a recent report that said there had been "constant delays" in the plan's implementation.

French President Emmanuel Macron called for faster security upgrades at the Louvre during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

The museum reopened to visitors on Wednesday morning, three days after the high-profile theft of jewelry valued at an estimated 88 million euros (US$102 million). –0–
