Gaza, November 23 (Xinhua) — Israel launched a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 22 people and injuring dozens, the Gaza Civil Defense reported on Saturday.

A Hamas source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that the movement expressed "anger" to regional mediators over continued Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, despite Hamas and other Palestinian groups adhering to the ceasefire agreement.

The source added that Hamas called on the mediators to "intervene immediately to prevent the agreement, which Israel seeks, from collapsing," stressing that the movement and other factions remain committed to the ceasefire despite the escalation.

The source also warned that Israel's continued killings of residents of the enclave, along with what he called "slow pressure" by the US on Israel to restrain its actions, could lead the situation to potential chaos. -0-

JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) — World leaders adopted a final declaration at the 20th Group of Twenty (G20) summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday, reaching broad consensus on disaster resilience, debt sustainability, a just energy transition and critical minerals development.

The declaration's adoption was announced at the opening ceremony of the summit, which is being held on the African continent for the first time. The two-day event is dedicated to the theme "Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability."

The declaration warns that increasingly frequent and intense disasters and shocks are undermining development and overburdening response systems. The leaders stated that these challenges "impede progress towards sustainable development and strain both national capacities and the ability of the international system to respond."

They called for integrated, people-centred approaches and stressed the need to “strengthen resilience and response to natural disasters”, particularly for vulnerable small island developing States and least developed countries.

Particular attention was also paid to issues of access to energy sources and the energy transition. The declaration points to stark inequalities, noting in particular that "more than 600 million people on the African continent today lack access to electricity."

G20 leaders supported efforts to triple global renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030, and also noted the urgent need to attract large-scale investment and facilitate access to concessional financing for developing countries in accordance with their national circumstances. They also emphasized the importance of voluntary technology transfer "on mutually agreed terms."

Regarding key minerals, the G20 endorsed the Critical Minerals Framework, calling it a voluntary guide for “sustainable, transparent, stable and resilient value chains for the extraction of critical minerals that underpin industrialisation and sustainable development.”

The declaration emphasizes that mineral resources should serve as “a catalyst for value creation and broad-based development, not just raw material exports,” and recognizes the right of producing countries to effectively manage their natural resources for inclusive growth.

The G20 Leaders' Declaration reflects a shared recognition that global challenges require more coordinated and equitable approaches. –0–

Dushanbe, November 22 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for new progress in developing the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership in the new era during the first strategic dialogue with Tajik Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin on Saturday.

The parties held an in-depth discussion on the implementation of the consensus reached by the heads of state and the development of mutually beneficial cooperation, reached broad agreement, and jointly launched a mechanism for strategic dialogue between the foreign ministers of China and Tajikistan.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, noted that China and Tajikistan are good friends and reliable partners, connected by shared mountains and rivers. Under the strategic leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, bilateral relations are continuously advancing to new heights.

Recalling that the two heads of state met twice this year and outlined new plans for developing relations between the countries, the Chinese Foreign Minister stated that China is ready to work with Tajikistan, guided by the consensus of the two countries' leaders, to consider and advance bilateral relations from a strategic perspective, continue the friendship from generation to generation, and promote high-quality cooperation within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Wang Yi reported on the results of the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, emphasizing that the scientific development and consistent implementation of five-year plans are an important experience of the CPC in state governance and an important political advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

China will continue to support Tajikistan in pursuing a development path suited to its own national conditions and in taking effective measures to ensure national security and development, while firmly opposing any external interference in the country's internal affairs, Wang Yi said.

Regardless of changes in the international situation, China will remain a reliable and loyal partner for Tajikistan, the diplomat emphasized, expressing gratitude to Tajikistan for its strong support on issues affecting China's core interests, including the Taiwan issue.

According to the minister, China will never allow right-wing forces in Japan to turn back the wheel of history, will not tolerate outside interference in the Taiwan issue, and will not allow the resurgence of Japanese militarism. China will work with all parties to uphold the international consensus on the one-China principle and jointly defend the hard-won victories of World War II, Wang Yi emphasized.

He noted that the two countries need to continue expanding trade and investment and fully utilize mechanisms such as the China-Tajik Intergovernmental Committee on Trade and Economic Cooperation. China, the minister continued, is ready to increase imports of high-quality agricultural products from Tajikistan and encourage Chinese enterprises with the necessary potential to invest in Tajikistan.

Wang Yi called on both sides to make full use of various platforms, including the Confucius Institute and the Lu Ban Workshop, and to accelerate the establishment of cultural centers in both countries. He also called on both sides to intensify local cooperation, enhance exchanges between sister cities, and join efforts to deepen Chinese-Tajik friendship.

Noting that China and Tajikistan are strategic partners who share both security and risks, Wang Yi pointed out that both sides should jointly overcome various challenges, implement the memorandum of understanding on jointly advancing cooperation within the framework of the Global Security Initiative, carry out reliable bilateral joint patrols, prevent the infiltration and spread of terrorist forces, and build a solid security barrier for the development of both countries.

Wang Yi said that China supports Tajikistan in enhancing its role in the UN and other multilateral structures, and looks forward to working with Tajikistan to jointly implement the four major global initiatives, support the international system with the UN as the core, and strengthen cooperation within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the China-Central Asia cooperation mechanism.

S. Mukhriddin, for his part, noted that Tajikistan and China are friendly neighbors and sincere friends, whose bilateral relations are invariably based on mutual understanding, trust, and support. He stated that, under the strategic leadership of the two heads of state, Tajik-Chinese relations maintain positive momentum, with active interstate cooperation in various fields.

S. Mukhriddin expressed gratitude to China for its long-term valuable support for Tajikistan's development and stated that the Tajik side expects to work together with China to comprehensively implement the important agreements reached between the heads of state of the two countries, establish closer contacts at all levels, promote the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, deepen cooperation in trade, investment, connectivity, and environmentally friendly mining, and expand humanitarian exchanges to bring even greater benefits to the peoples of both countries.

The Tajik side consistently adheres to the one-China principle, firmly supports China's justified position on the Taiwan issue, as well as China's determined efforts to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity and to achieve the country's reunification, S. Mukhriddin emphasized.

The diplomats also exchanged views on Afghanistan. Wang Yi stated that Afghanistan is a shared neighbor for China and Tajikistan, and China intends to continue strengthening coordination with Tajikistan on the Afghan issue to promote peace and stability in the region and support the reconstruction process in Afghanistan.

Following the talks, a joint statement was published on the results of the first strategic dialogue between the foreign ministers of China and Tajikistan. –0–

JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday called on the Group of 20 (G20) economies to maintain their commitment to unity, firmly uphold free trade and build an open world economy amid a sluggish global economic recovery.

Li Qiang made the statement during his speech at the first session of the 20th G20 summit, dedicated to inclusive and sustainable economic growth and chaired by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

As the head of the Chinese government recalled, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized at the 17th G20 summit that unity is strength, while disunity leads nowhere.

According to the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, over the years, thanks to the spirit of unity, G20 members, representing different regions and with different systems and cultures, have managed to overcome a number of challenges and promote global progress and development.

Li Qiang emphasized that today the global economy is once again facing serious challenges, expressed in the strengthening of unilateralism and protectionism, the increase of trade restrictions, and the escalation of confrontations.

Diverging interests and shortcomings in global cooperation mechanisms, he continued, have become significant factors hindering the strengthening of international cohesion.

The head of the Chinese government called on the G20 to address these issues head-on, seek solutions, and promote the return of all parties to the path of unity and cooperation.

Li Qiang stated the need for concerted efforts to properly resolve disputes and frictions through consultations on the basis of equality when differences and contradictions arise.

The Premier also emphasized the importance of finding common ground while maintaining differences, actively identifying the highest common denominator that takes into account the interests of all parties, and responding appropriately to each other's legitimate concerns.

Speaking about the challenges of global governance, he stressed that the G20 economies must keep up with the times and take the lead in supporting multilateralism.

The head of the Chinese government noted the importance of accelerating reforms of institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization.

He also called for a stronger voice for developing countries and for building a more equitable and open international trade and economic order.

Li Qiang said that China has published an action plan aimed at implementing the G20 initiative to support industrialization in Africa and least developed countries, and also emphasized China's commitment to promoting the common development of all countries.

China supports debt relief for developing countries and has jointly launched an initiative with South Africa to cooperate in supporting Africa's modernization, the Chinese Premier said, noting that China will also establish an Institute for Global Development.

Leaders participating in the summit stated that over the past two decades, the G20 has become an important platform for the international community to jointly respond to challenges, seize opportunities, and find paths to shared development. They noted that the modern world faces numerous challenges, and the level of instability and uncertainty continues to grow.

The leaders called on G20 members, representing the world's major economies and emerging markets, to fulfill their responsibilities conscientiously, strengthen cohesion and cooperation, defend multilateralism, and join forces to overcome challenges.

They also called on G20 members to defend the multilateral trading system, with the World Trade Organization at its core, advance reform of global economic governance, and narrow development gaps among countries to promote strong, balanced, inclusive, and sustainable growth.
