The Hague, November 19 (Xinhua) — Dutch authorities have suspended the seizure order against semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia, Economy Minister Vincent Karremans announced on Wednesday.

"Given recent events, I believe now is the opportune moment to take a constructive step, namely, suspending my order regarding Nexperia, issued in accordance with the Accessibility of Goods Act. This decision is being made following close consultation with European and international partners," the minister noted in a statement.

V. Karremans ordered the intervention in the activities of Nexperia, the overseas subsidiary of the Chinese company Wingtech, in late September, citing alleged shortcomings in the company's management.

On November 1, China's Ministry of Commerce stated that the Netherlands' inappropriate interference in Nexperia's internal affairs had wreaked havoc on global supply chains. China called on the Netherlands to take concrete measures to restore stability to the global semiconductor supply chain.

V. Karremans reported that over the past few days, Dutch authorities have held constructive meetings with their Chinese counterparts. He praised the measures already taken by Chinese authorities to ensure the supply of microchips to Europe and other parts of the world.

Moscow, November 19 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi should reflect deeply on her country's history and learn from the events of World War II. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated this on Tuesday, responding to a Xinhua reporter's question about the Prime Minister's comments regarding Taiwan.

M. Zakharova noted that this year marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. A number of commemorative events around the world remind people of the need to remember history and learn from it.

"This anniversary is meant to ensure that no one forgets these lessons. Therefore, when politicians come to power, they must remember the lessons of the world and, especially, the lessons of their own countries and peoples, which are the worst manifestation of their state policies," the Russian diplomat noted.

She recalled that Tokyo, at various times, has taken steps to circumvent international law and pursued an aggressive line both in the Asia-Pacific region and on the global stage. Japan's history has many chapters, "some wonderful, some achievements, but also, like its participation in World War II on the side of absolute evil," Zakharova noted, emphasizing that the aggressive war unleashed by Japanese militarism brought enormous disasters to Asia and the entire world, and forced Japan itself to pay a heavy price.

She said Sanae Takaichi and other Japanese politicians should reflect deeply on history and beware of the serious consequences that their irresponsible statements and actions could lead to.

As M. Zakharova added, peace remains fragile and requires a responsible approach. "Russia, as part of the Asia-Pacific region, always calls for a region dominated not by irresponsible or aggressive policies, but by peaceful and responsible political activity aimed at preserving peace and security," concluded the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Warsaw, November 19 (Xinhua) — Poland will close the Russian consulate in Gdansk, which was the last remaining Russian consulate in the country. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski announced this at a press conference on Wednesday.

R. Sikorski stated that the closure of the consulate in the northern Polish city is not a comprehensive response by Poland to what he called Russia's "hostile actions." According to him, Warsaw has repeatedly warned Moscow that its diplomatic and consular presence will be further reduced if such actions continue.

The Russian Embassy in Warsaw will remain open. "We have no plans to sever diplomatic relations with Russia," the Polish Foreign Minister added.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the explosion that occurred last weekend on the Warsaw-Lublin railway an act of sabotage. On Tuesday, he told parliament that two Ukrainians acting on orders from Russian intelligence were responsible.

Such accusations against Russia are “absolutely baseless and unfounded,” Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov emphasized on Wednesday, according to RIA Novosti. –0–

Moscow, November 19 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is an organization built on the principles of equality, mutual respect, and mutual benefit. It is a key force in reforming global governance and building a more equitable international order, according to Ekaterina Zaklyazminskaya, head of the Center for World Politics and Strategic Analysis at the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"Many countries in the Global South, countries of the global majority, view the SCO as a platform where no one will exert any pressure on them, as is often the case in many Western international institutions. The SCO is an organization where everyone is heard and where the national interests of all participants are taken into account when making decisions on both a regional and global scale," E. Zaklyazminskaya said in an interview with Xinhua.

In her view, the SCO is a vital force in reforming the global governance system. From the very beginning, the organization has demonstrated a high degree of convergence of interests among its member states, developing and improving mechanisms for interaction based on the "Shanghai Spirit."

"The Chinese leader's initiative in global governance and the values espoused by the SCO are shared by many countries in the Global South, the global majority. These are the values that should form the foundation of a new, more just world order," the ICA RAS expert emphasized.

"We see how Western powers often try to act from a position of strength in pursuing their geopolitical goals, trying to impose their dictates, their 'rules,' on others," noted E. Zaklyazminskaya. "The Chinese Initiative on Global Governance and the 'Shanghai Spirit,' the principles on which the SCO is built, are based on taking into account the fundamental national interests of partner countries, national characteristics, and the cultural and historical differences of states."

“China, Russia, and other SCO countries are striving to build a more just world order,” she concluded. –0–

Tbilisi, November 19 (Xinhua) — The European Union is using all possible tools to blackmail Georgian society and impose certain punitive measures against it, Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili told the Georgian television channel Imedi on Tuesday during a visit to Israel.

M. Bochorishvili expressed hope that Brussels will not make decisions aimed at punishing the Georgian people.

"They are discussing changes to the visa regime for Georgia and constantly raise this issue, although there is no reason to intimidate Georgian society with a possible suspension of the visa-free regime," the minister emphasized.

On November 17, the EU Council approved new rules for suspending visa-free travel for third-country nationals. Using this updated mechanism, Brussels will be able to respond more quickly and decisively to cases of abuse of the visa-free travel regime or violations of EU interests.

The suspension of visa-free travel can now last up to 12 months, with a possible extension of 24 months. Unlike previous rules, the additional suspension period will not apply to the entire population; instead, the EU will be able to continue to apply the relevant measures to officials and diplomats.

Moscow, November 19 (Xinhua) — The exhibition "Cartoons. Comics. Humor of the Führer's Personal Enemy," dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials and the 125th anniversary of the birth of People's Artist of the USSR Boris Efimov, opened on Tuesday at the Zurab Tsereteli Art Gallery.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Izvestia newspaper editor-in-chief Sergei Koroteev noted that the exhibition commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials, where B. Efimov served as the publication's accredited representative and from where he submitted his drawings.

"We address not only history but also the present day. The theme of the fight against fascism is probably as relevant today as it was 80 years ago. And when you look at Efimov's cartoons, you're struck by how relevant they are today, and how they resonate with current themes," emphasized S. Koroteev.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that most of B. Efimov's works are answers to today's questions.

“What a great blessing that we have a record of those times 85 years ago, both from the perspective of dry documents and documentary film and photography, and through the lens of an artist who emphasized the poignancy of the moment,” she noted.

The exhibition includes works by B. Efimov from the 1930s and 1940s, dedicated to the fight against fascism. The artist worked at Izvestia for approximately 85 years and was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest cartoonist.

Visitors will be presented with approximately 100 original drawings, photographs, posters, and archival materials from the editorial staff. Some exhibits are being shown for the first time, including B. Efimov's unique album "Hitler and His Gang," drawings from which Joseph Stalin presented to Winston Churchill.

The exhibition is housed in three halls of a historic 18th-century mansion on Prechistenka Street in Moscow and is open to the public from November 19 to December 14. –0–

BEIJING, November 19 (Xinhua) — The Russian pavilion and the Great Tea Road pavilion have been enjoying great popularity and attracting many visitors at the 17th Taiwan Straits International Tea Industry Fair held in Wuyishan City, east China's Fujian Province, in recent days, according to chinanews.com.cn.

As a reminder, more than 850 companies, including 173 from Taiwan, are participating in this fair, which runs from November 16 to 20. It features 2,300 booths, and the total exhibition space is 48,000 square meters.

The organizers of the aforementioned fair, for the first time, deepened trade cooperation with cities located along the Great Tea Road – Kazan, St. Petersburg, and Kyakhta – by specifically inviting Russian tea traders to participate in the fair, thereby intending to create a dual platform of “tea trade and cultural mutual learning.”

The Great Tea Road, which emerged in the 17th century, began in the Wuyi Mountains and reached St. Petersburg, crossing China, Mongolia, and Russia. This approximately 14,000-kilometer route, primarily for tea, became an important economic and cultural link between Asia and Europe, following in the footsteps of the ancient Silk Road.

Qiao Xiangpeng, Executive Chairman of the Russian-Chinese Cultural Exchange Association, who is participating in this fair for the third time, noted that he sees it as his responsibility to use tea as a means to build a bridge of friendship between China and other countries.

Qiao Xiangpeng said he intends to tell the world the history of tea production in the Wuyi Mountains to further promote Chinese tea culture.

As the starting point of the Great Tea Road, Fujian Province has in recent years utilized its tea resources to establish tea culture tourist villages and organized a series of events abroad to showcase the unique appeal of Fujian tea.

At the Wuyi Fair, a "Starting Point of the Great Tea Road" exhibition area was created, displaying key historical materials and material evidence to reveal the history of this route and demonstrate the historical status and practical value of the Wuyi area as the starting point of the Great Tea Road.

According to Qiao Xiangpeng, Fujian tea is an important vehicle for exchange and mutual learning between Eastern and Western civilizations. "We will continue to use the Great Tea Road as a foundation for the effective dissemination of Chinese tea culture, as well as to better communicate the stories of Fujian and even China to the outside world, thereby promoting mutual understanding between peoples of different countries," he concluded.

BEIJING, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) — China's total food imports from Belt and Road Initiative countries through the Shanghai Port increased 15.5 percent year-on-year to 135.34 billion yuan (about 19 billion U.S. dollars) in the first three quarters of 2025, according to a report posted on the official website of the General Administration of Customs (GAC) on Wednesday.

China is the world's largest consumer of fruit. Fruit is one of the main food categories imported by China from the aforementioned countries, and Shanghai is the main entry point for fruit into the country.

To ensure smooth customs clearance of imported fruits, Shanghai Customs has taken a number of efficiency measures, such as opening a "green corridor" and allowing 24-hour pre-registration for customs clearance.

Recently, a shipment of coffee beans from Colombia was imported into China under the supervision of Shanghai Customs. Local customs has made significant efforts to improve service to the affected businesses, informing them of the country's food import policy and promptly resolving any issues they encountered during customs clearance. -0-

Ankara, November 19 (Xinhua) — Türkiye appointed an ambassador to Syria on Wednesday after a 13-year hiatus, taking a major step toward normalizing diplomatic relations between Ankara and Damascus.

According to a decree by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan published in the Official Government Gazette, Deputy Foreign Minister Nuh Yılmaz has been appointed ambassador.

The Turkish embassy in Damascus has remained closed since March 26, 2012. Ankara also resumed diplomatic activity at its consulate in Aleppo, which had also been closed for 13 years.

N. Yılmaz served in the Turkish National Intelligence Organization from August 2013 to June 2023. On May 20, 2024, he was appointed Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The diplomatic thaw has also led to renewed civil ties. Earlier this year, Turkish Airlines resumed direct flights from Istanbul to Damascus for the first time in over a decade. Since January 23, flights have been operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
