BEIJING, November 26 (Xinhua) — The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAC) has approved the permanent opening of Yili International Airport, located in Yining City, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR), to the outside world on March 19, 2026, the Xinjiang Daily newspaper reported.

This means that this airport will officially handle international flights, as well as have the necessary customs and border control facilities. This airport will also become Xinjiang's third air crossing point connected to the outside world, following the international airports in Urumqi and Kashgar (Kashi).

The implementation of this regime will allow international flight operators to directly submit applications for route openings, significantly reducing the approval time, while simultaneously reducing airline operating costs and unlocking potential demand for flights from this airport to Central Asia, West Asia, and Europe.

As a reminder, Yining Airport opened its doors to air traffic in 1936, and international flights were launched in April 2024. Currently, this airport offers flights to Almaty, Kazakhstan.

As of November 6, the airport's annual passenger traffic exceeded 3 million person-times, reaching a record level. -0-

BANGKOK, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — Thai Prime Minister Anuthin Chanvirakun on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in the southern province of Songkhla due to severe flooding that has hit the south of the country.

The government has established a dedicated command centre to coordinate rescue operations in response to unprecedented rainfall and flooding, which have caused extensive property damage and posed a serious threat to public safety.

Monsoon-induced flooding has affected nine southern provinces of Thailand, affecting around 2.2 million people and killing 13, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation.

Islamabad, November 26 (Xinhua) — Pakistan has created a comprehensive regulatory framework to support the use and investment of the Chinese currency (yuan), State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Managing Director Muhammad Malik said on Tuesday at an event to mark the 10th anniversary of the internationalization of the yuan in Pakistan.

The yuan has great potential in Pakistan and is expected to bring additional benefits to all stakeholders, said M. Malik, noting that the country already has a robust regulatory system that facilitates the use of the yuan and investment in this currency.

WASHINGTON, November 25 (Xinhua) — Entrance fees to 11 of the most popular U.S. national parks will increase for non-U.S. residents starting January 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced on Tuesday.

According to the department's statement, the cost of an annual park pass will be $250 for non-residents and $80 for residents.

Non-residents without an annual pass will pay a $100 fee per person in addition to the standard entrance fee. This measure is intended to support maintenance of national parks, the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated.

Currently, non-residents and US residents pay the same fees to enter national parks.

“This policy ensures that affordable access continues for American taxpayers who already support the National Park System, and that international visitors make their fair share of the maintenance and improvement of our parks for future generations,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Douglas Burgum.

In July, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order increasing entrance fees to national parks for tourists from abroad. –0–

Beijing, November 26 (Xinhua) — Construction of the first phase of the China-Russia Smart E-Commerce and Logistics Park in Suifenhe, Heilongjiang Province, northeast China, has entered the key stage of equipment and systems debugging, with commissioning scheduled for the first ten days of December this year. This was announced on Wednesday on the official website of the Suifenhe City Hall.

The first phase of the aforementioned park will cost 30 million yuan (approximately $4.23 million) and will cover over 10,000 square meters. It will include the installation of two sets of automated parcel sorting and processing equipment.

Installation of the main components of both sets of equipment has already been completed. Once operational, this facility is expected to be capable of processing an average of 300,000 parcels daily, significantly increasing the efficiency of distribution and sorting of cross-border e-commerce shipments to Russia and providing a new impetus to Suifenhe's economic development.

The construction of the aforementioned park is an important measure for Suifenhe to actively respond to the Belt and Road Initiative and deeply integrate into Chinese-Russian trade and economic cooperation. Its intelligent positioning is reflected not only in the use of automated logistics equipment but also in the utilization of advanced information technologies to visualize and intelligently manage the entire supply chain, optimize cross-border trade processes, and reduce operating costs for businesses.

The new park will focus on the deep integration of cross-border e-commerce and logistics between China and Russia, and promises to become a modern intelligent logistics center integrating intelligent warehousing, efficient sorting, cross-border distribution, supply chain services, and big data.

Its construction will significantly improve the efficiency of logistics for trade between Suifenhe and Russia and provide e-commerce companies with powerful infrastructure support and intelligent services for developing markets in Russia and Eastern Europe, according to a statement from the Suifenhe mayor's office. -0-
