Nanning, December 2 (Xinhua) — The Timiryazev State Biological Museum of Russia recently signed a new strategic cooperation agreement with the Dinosaur Odyssey Science Museum in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China.

A Russian delegation led by museum director Igor Ryabokon expanded cooperation with its Chinese partner after visiting the "Dinosaur Odyssey" paleontological reconstruction base. During the visit, 22 three-dimensional paleontological models reconstructed at a 1:1 scale using artificial intelligence and high-precision 3D printing were inspected.

"We were very impressed with the speed, quality, and professionalism of the work. This is an incredibly large-scale production, a handcrafted process that achieves the utmost realism in the models," said I. Ryabokon. "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with such professional partners."

The new five-year agreement includes joint paleontological research, the organization of traveling immersive exhibitions, and the joint development of creative products that combine elements of Chinese and Russian culture.

"Thanks to our colleagues from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, we are implementing a very important project for our museum and for Russian visitors. We will be the first in the world to display realistic reconstructions of dinosaurs discovered in our country," he emphasized.

"This way, our visitors will be able to learn more about dinosaur discoveries in Russia over the past centuries and their existence. Furthermore, we're confident that some of our young visitors will eventually want to become scientists. After all, the main goal of a biology museum is to popularize science," he added.

As a reminder, the initial contract for the supply of 22 models was signed in May of this year at the 21st China International Cultural Industries Expo in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, southern China.

Both sides described the expanded partnership as a shining example of "culture plus technology" cooperation that strengthens ties between the peoples of China and Russia.

According to I. Ryabokon, the possibilities for creating new joint projects are “truly limitless,” and “our best and most ambitious project is yet to come.” -0-

Beijing, December 2 (Xinhua) — From the beginning of 2025 to November 30, the number of parcels handled by China's express delivery services exceeded 180 billion units. This is the first time the sector has reached this milestone, according to data released Monday by the State Post Administration of China (SPA).

With an average monthly transaction volume of over 16 billion parcels, a peak of 777 million parcels per day, and a processing speed of 6,200 parcels per second, the department said these figures demonstrate the strong vitality of China's economy.

Since the beginning of 2025, the postal and courier sectors have significantly strengthened their role in stimulating industrial development and regional economic growth, the agency's source noted. For example, the introduction of free delivery services in remote western regions has accelerated the expansion of local logistics networks, with particularly rapid growth in the courier business in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and Xizang Autonomous Region.

The Prosecutor General's Office also drew attention to increasing investment in scientific research and technological innovation, and improving operational efficiency through the introduction of robotics and artificial intelligence. -0-

Paris, December 1 (Xinhua) – Any “peace plan” regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine can only be finalized with the participation of both Ukraine and Europe in the negotiations, French President Emmanuel Macron stated on Monday.

E. Macron made the announcement at a joint press conference at the Elysée Palace following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who arrived in Paris on a visit.

Speaking about issues such as frozen Russian assets, security guarantees, and Ukraine's potential accession to the European Union, E. Macron noted that agreements "can only be finally reached if Europeans are at the negotiating table."

The French President also stressed that “as of today, there is no final peace plan as such.”

For his part, V. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine seeks to end the conflict "in a dignified manner." He called for "firm" security guarantees and stated that "the territorial issue will be the most difficult one" in future negotiations.

In addition, according to a statement from the Elysée Palace, on Monday, E. Macron and V. Zelenskyy held discussions with other European leaders, as well as with American and Ukrainian negotiators.

According to Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with US Special Presidential Envoy Steven Witkoff in Moscow on December 2. The meeting will focus on ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The 28-point US-proposed "peace plan" was released two weeks ago. Following its publication, representatives from the US, Ukraine, and several European countries met in Geneva on November 23 to discuss the plan.

On Sunday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and S. Witkoff held talks with the Ukrainian delegation in Hallandale Beach, Florida. –0–

Tbilisi, December 1 (Xinhua) — By the end of the year, Georgia's GDP will exceed 100 billion lari (1 lari is equivalent to approximately $0.37) for the first time in history, and nominal GDP per capita will exceed $10,000. This was announced by Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze at a government meeting on Monday.

According to the National Statistics Office of Georgia, economic growth amounted to 7.6 percent from January to October 2025. Therefore, as I. Kobakhidze noted, there is a high probability that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast for Georgian GDP growth, which is 7.2 percent, will be exceeded by the end of the year.

"According to purchasing power parity, per capita GDP will exceed $30,000 for the first time, compared to $10,000 just eight years ago. From an economic perspective, the country is developing correctly across the board. Accordingly, we will do everything we can to ensure that growth trends continue and that we maintain a high rate of economic growth," the head of the Georgian government stated.

BEIJING, December 1 (Xinhua) — The overall prevalence of HIV/AIDS in China remains low, with blood transfusion transmission largely interrupted, and mother-to-child transmission and injection drug use effectively controlled, according to data released by the National Administration of Disease Control and Prevention.

December 1 marks World AIDS Day. According to Xia Gang, deputy head of the department, over 40 years of dedicated efforts, China has made significant progress in AIDS prevention and treatment, with treatment coverage and virus containment rates exceeding 95 percent.

According to Xia Gang, thanks to improvements in the prevention and treatment system, modernization of technical methods, and increased accessibility and convenience of services, the mortality rate has decreased by 86 percent compared to 2003.

The AIDS Prevention and Treatment Plan for 2024-2030 sets goals to reduce the overall infection rate in China to less than 0.2 percent by 2030, and to ensure timely diagnosis and notification of the virus for more than 95 percent of those infected.

Erasmus Mora, Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Office in China, noted that China plays an active role in global efforts to prevent and treat AIDS, sharing experience and resources with countries that need support most.

However, as Xia Gang warned, AIDS prevention and control in China remain challenging. "Certain challenges remain, such as the high rate of sexual transmission, which stands at over 98 percent, insufficient awareness of voluntary testing, and non-compliance with clinical guidelines after diagnosis," he noted.

In accordance with the recently adopted proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for socio-economic development, China aims to enhance public health capacity, strengthen the disease control system, and effectively prevent and contain major infectious diseases.

Xia Gang emphasized that China will adhere to a prevention-focused strategy, combine prevention and treatment measures, and take a comprehensive and differentiated approach to consolidate the progress achieved in the fight against AIDS.
