Moscow, November 28 (Xinhua) — A partnership conference dedicated to the development of the Russian-Chinese digital platform "Molniya" was held at the World Trade Center in Moscow on Friday.

The Molniya digital ecosystem is a super-app for international cooperation between Russia and China.

Mikhail Tolpyshkin, CEO of Molniya, the company that developed the app, noted: "Russia has never had such a super app before. We had separate messengers that solved specific problems, but an app that includes payment systems, a marketplace, and a social layer—never existed before."

"Molniya" is aimed at the growing Russian-Chinese tourism flow, entrepreneurs, and content creators. "Thanks to "Molniya," we hope our tourists won't have any problems. We'll do the same for tourists from the People's Republic of China, who will have all the necessary information in one place regarding hotels, trips, guides, and so on. Since we're building this super app as an open ecosystem, we hope that taxi and delivery services will be added to this system. This app will be useful overall, both for citizens of Russia and abroad," added M. Tolpyshkin.

Molniya LLC was founded in 2025 to support the development of an ecosystem of business and social services, as well as to develop a new super-app. –0–

Beijing, November 28 (Xinhua) — China, as a non-signatory country to the so-called San Francisco Peace Treaty, has never recognized any of its provisions, including those concerning sovereignty over Taiwan or China's other territorial and sovereign rights, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday.

Answering a question on the matter at a regular press briefing, Mao Ning recalled that the so-called "San Francisco Peace Treaty" was concluded as a separate peace treaty with Japan without the participation of major parties to World War II, such as China and the Soviet Union.

This document violates the provision of the 1942 Declaration by the United Nations, signed by 26 countries, including China, the United States, Great Britain and the USSR, that each government undertakes not to conclude a separate armistice or peace with its enemies, and also violates the UN Charter and the basic principles of international law, the Chinese diplomat added.

Everything stated in the treaty regarding sovereignty over Taiwan and other territorial and sovereign rights of China, which has not signed the treaty, is completely illegal and invalid, the official representative of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized.

She also cited the provisions of the 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, which states: "The Government of Japan recognizes the Government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China. The Government of the People's Republic of China reaffirms that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the territory of the People's Republic of China. The Government of Japan fully understands and respects this position of the Chinese government and firmly adheres to its position in accordance with Article 8 of the Potsdam Declaration."

Mao Ning added that the four Sino-Japanese political documents, which contain clear provisions on various issues, including Taiwan, constitute the political basis of Sino-Japanese relations. –0–

BISSAU, November 28 (Xinhua) — Guinea-Bissau's transitional President Horta N'Tam signed a presidential decree in the country's capital, Bissau, on Friday appointing Ilidio Vieira Te as prime minister and concurrently finance minister.

The appointment took effect immediately, the Office of Communications and Public Relations of the Presidency said in a statement, adding that Horta N'Tam made the decision "in exercise of his powers and duties."

Ilidio Vieira Te, born in 1983 in the Biombo region of western Guinea-Bissau, is currently a member of the Party for Social Renewal, the third-largest political faction in the country. He served as Minister of Finance from July 2022 until the recent political upheaval in the republic.

During this year's presidential elections, Ilídio Vieira Te led the national election campaign for the No Kumpu Guine /Unity for Guinea-Bissau/ coalition, an alliance of several political parties that promoted ousted President Oumarou Sisoka Embalo as their candidate.

On November 26, the Guinea-Bissau armed forces announced they had established full control of state power to counter what they claimed were attempts to destabilize the country. The following day, November 27, Horta N'Tam was sworn in as transitional president.

Analysts say the sudden political shift, which came just a day before the presidential election results were announced, was a result of intense tensions between competing political forces.

Presidential and parliamentary elections in Guinea-Bissau took place on Sunday, November 23. –0–

JAKARTA, November 28 (Xinhua) — The death toll from floods and landslides that ravaged Indonesia's Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra provinces has risen to 174, with 79 people still missing and 12 injured, the country's National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) reported on Friday.

As the head of the Suharyanto agency stated at a press briefing, the highest number of casualties has been recorded in North Sumatra province: 116 people have died and 42 are missing. He added that access to several affected areas remains difficult due to damaged roads and ongoing mudslides, which is slowing rescue operations.

“It’s possible that there are even more dead and injured in the landslide sites, which remain difficult to access,” Sukharyanto clarified.

In Aceh province, 35 people have been confirmed dead, 25 are missing, and eight others were injured.

In West Sumatra province, according to the latest reports, 23 people have died, 12 are missing, and four more have been injured. Floods and landslides damaged roads and bridges in several districts, forcing approximately 3,900 families to move to temporary shelters.

To reduce further risks, the BNPB initiated simultaneous weather modification operations in the three affected provinces to drive rain clouds away from high-risk areas. –0–
