Ankara, November 20 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy here on Wednesday, emphasized the need to advance diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“It would be useful for the Istanbul process to resume in a comprehensive format capable of addressing the issues that are currently pressing,” R.T. Erdogan said at a joint press conference, calling for renewed international support for the initiative.

He reiterated that Turkey is ready to discuss with Russia “any proposals that could accelerate the ceasefire and pave the way for a just and lasting peace,” and called on all partners seeking to stop the bloodshed to take a constructive approach to resuming this process.

Russia and Ukraine held a third round of peace talks in Istanbul on July 23, 2025, agreeing to a prisoner exchange but making no progress in ending the conflict.

For his part, V. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine hopes to resume prisoner exchanges by the end of the year. "Turkey is providing strong support on this issue," he said, adding that Kyiv believes in "the strength of Turkish diplomacy and its ability to be understood in Moscow."

He thanked R.T. Erdoğan for Ankara's position throughout the conflict. "Turkey's principled position on the war with Russia is very important for Ukraine," Zelenskyy said, expressing gratitude for "cooperation that helps protect lives and Turkey's clear approach to all key aspects" of the ongoing conflict.

Beijing, November 20 (Xinhua) — Japan must remember that Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and whatever happens to Taiwan is none of Japan's business, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular ministry press conference on Thursday.

Regarding Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks about the so-called "Taiwan emergency," many Chinese believe that Japan bears historical guilt over the Taiwan issue and is the party least competent to discuss Taiwan-related issues.

Asked by a journalist to comment on such Chinese opinions, Mao Ning recalled that Japan forcibly occupied Taiwan and established colonial rule there for half a century. The Japanese invaders committed countless crimes in Taiwan.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation from Japanese occupation, Mao Ning continued, adding that Japan must remember that Taiwan is Chinese Taiwan and that whatever happens to Taiwan is none of Japan's business.

"Using Taiwan to provoke problems will only bring trouble to Japan itself," she commented. -0-

HANGZHOU, November 20 (Xinhua) — The first train departed on Thursday on the Hangzhou-Quzhou high-speed railway, marking the start of its trial operation. The official launch of this first high-speed railway in China built using the PPP EPC (public-private partnership) model, which combines engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), is expected no earlier than the end of December 2025.

According to the plan, the test operation will take at least a month, which will allow for a comprehensive inspection of the railway tracks under conditions as close to real-life as possible, as well as the necessary data for the official commissioning of the East Siberian Railway.

The new railway connects the capital of Zhejiang Province (eastern China) with the city of Quzhou, located in the province's west. Its total length is 131 km, and the design speed of trains is 350 km/h. The EPC and project financing were handled by a consortium led by the Fourth Design and Survey Institute of China Railway Construction Corporation. The majority of the investment came from public capital.

The Hangzhou-Quzhou High-Siberian Railway runs through 38 tunnels and 119 bridges, accounting for 78.7 percent of the route. A 685-meter-long bridge was designated a critical construction project.

After its official launch, the Hangzhou-Quzhou High Speed Railway is expected to serve as a transportation artery and link between the Hangzhou Bay Economic Belt and the Jinhua-Quzhou-Lishui Economic Belt, thus playing an important role in ensuring the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Delta region. -0-

Moscow, November 20 (Xinhua) — Russia will build 38 nuclear power units over the next two decades to expand computing power for artificial intelligence (AI). Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this Wednesday while speaking at the 10th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIJ), which is taking place in Moscow from November 19 to 21.

"As for our long-term plans, in less than two decades, primarily in the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East, we plan to build 38 nuclear power units. Their total capacity will be almost equal to the entire nuclear power generation capacity currently in operation," he said.

Vladimir Putin emphasized that generating additional gigawatts of energy is crucial for the reliable operation of the entire growing digital infrastructure. "The most important, fundamental task is to ensure a constant, uniform, and reliable supply of significant amounts of energy to data centers," he added.

As the Russian President noted, plans for deploying AI data centers must be clearly linked to the further development of the entire national energy infrastructure, including advanced, modern, and environmentally friendly coal-fired power generation and other clean energy sources, including nuclear power. "The growing potential of domestic nuclear energy will allow us to consistently expand computing capacity for artificial intelligence," he assured.
