Hong Kong, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Chief Executive Li Jiachao announced Wednesday the establishment of the Northern Metropolis Development Committee under his leadership to accelerate the development of the area.

"The Northern Megalopolis is a strategic development zone of Hong Kong, bordering Shenzhen City, and occupies an area that accounts for about a third of the total expected population of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region," Li Jiachao said in his speech, adding that the zone represents a significant source of economic value and development potential.

Li Jiachao noted that the Committee, which will include three working groups, will focus on streamlining administrative processes and eliminating unnecessary barriers and restrictions.

The working group on the development and operation models will develop models for the development and operation of industrial parks in the Northern Metropolis zone, taking into account their nature and scale.

The University Campus Planning and Construction Working Group will establish a research team to develop a model for the development of the University Campus in the Northern Metropolis.

The Planning and Development Working Group will be responsible for managing the integrated process from planning to implementation.

Li Jiachao said that in order to accelerate the development of the Northern Metropolis, special legislation will be passed that will allow the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region administration to develop simplified legislative procedures on a number of issues. -0-

Beijing, September 17 (Xinhua) — The United States' unilateral distortion of facts and misinterpretation of World War II documents cannot shake the international community's unwavering commitment to the one-China principle, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday.

Lin Chien made the statement at a regular press conference in response to a question from reporters about a statement by a US State Department spokesman that none of these documents, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Declaration, determine the final political status of Taiwan.

Noting that the one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community, Lin Jian called on the US side to fully abide by this principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, stop manipulating the Taiwan issue, condoning or supporting separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence" in any form, and refrain from interfering in China's internal affairs. -0-

The opening of a new stream of corporate programs from SPbPU and Gazprom Neft took place at the "Boiling Point-FabLab" Youth Project Activity Center.

Today, training is conducted in five areas.

"It was a pleasure to see a full house at the opening of our corporate Master's program. This project was made possible thanks to our strategic partner, Gazprom Neft. We've created unique programs in economics, IT, telecommunications, and cybersecurity so that everyone can develop in their favorite field. The key is to embrace challenges, try new things, and fully immerse yourself in learning. The ball is in the air! Onward to knowledge and new opportunities!" said SPbPU Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova.

First of all, I'm delighted to see everyone at the opening of our corporate Master's program. This year, we enrolled twice as many students as last year—an excellent achievement for us. Special thanks to the Polytechnic University and all the management, faculty, and corporate partners for their support and assistance in implementing our programs. Our research and education center was established in 2022, and since then, we've been continuously developing new training programs in IT and business analysis. Dear first-year students and Master's students, you're taking the first step toward your future career—learn, try new things, participate in projects, and we'll be there to help you apply your knowledge in practice. I'm delighted to welcome you! You will shape our future," noted Irina Rudskaya, Director of the Gazprom Neft IT and Business Analysis Research and Education Center.

On behalf of Gazprom Neft, the students were addressed by Ilya Dementyev, Rector of the Gazprom Neft Corporate University; Anton Dumin, IT Director of Gazprom Neft; and Leonid Potapov, Head of IT Education at Gazprom Neft.

You've come a long way. Eleven years of school, four years of university, and now two years of corporate master's program. After that, you'll join the company, where learning will continue throughout your career. It's important to approach your studies consciously: choose programs and courses that will help you be effective in the future and continually develop your skills. Life will require new knowledge, and our task is to prepare you for these challenges," emphasized Ilya Dementyev, Rector of Gazprom Neft Corporate University.

Each Master's program here has its own important objective: from economics and business analysis to information systems operation. These areas provide the opportunity to implement large-scale initiatives, ensure the reliability and efficiency of corporate infrastructure, and bring real value to the company. Listen to your inner voice, be proactive, and strive to learn. Most of our corporate Master's program graduates are already working at Gazprom Neft, solving truly important problems. I wish you success in mastering the program and applying your knowledge in practice! said Anton Dumin, IT Director of Gazprom Neft.

It's no coincidence that we're back at the Polytechnic Tower today—it was here, four years ago, that we began discussing the creation of a corporate master's program. Since then, four cohorts of students have graduated, and just three months ago, we summarized the results of the second graduating class. Today, we're pleased to present another program—one with real-world cases that are fully applicable in practice. "Learn actively, apply your knowledge, and create real results," noted Leonid Potapov, Head of IT Education at Gazprom Neft.

This year, special attention is being paid to international opportunities. Six of the best SPbPU corporate master's students will undergo internships in China in the fall of 2025.

SPbPU and Gazprom Neft corporate programs offer students a number of advantages.

Mentoring: Each student has a personal mentor from the company who supports their learning and professional development. Fast Track to the Company: Practical training with Gazprom Neft experts provides a direct path to internships and employment. Corporate Scholarship: Top students receive additional payments in addition to the basic scholarship.

Today, SPbPU and Gazprom Neft's corporate master's programs unite over 90 students and continue to grow, offering a unique balance of theory and practice, as well as direct access to industry.
