Phnom Penh, November 11 (Xinhua) — Cambodia attracted a total of 889,089 Chinese tourists in the first nine months of 2025, up 46.3 percent year-on-year, according to a report from the Ministry of Tourism released Monday.

Of the 4.37 million international tourists who arrived in the kingdom in January-September this year, 20.3 percent were Chinese citizens.

This places China in third place in terms of tourist arrivals, surpassed by Thailand and Vietnam.

Turn Sinan, chairman of the Cambodian branch of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, said the increase in Chinese tourists indicates strong and growing interest from China.

"China's growing middle class, coupled with targeted marketing and expanded air travel routes, should further encourage Chinese tourists," he told Xinhua.

"However, maintaining this growth will depend on the sustainability of air travel, the simplification of the visa regime, and the continued attractiveness of Cambodia's tourism offerings to Chinese travelers," said T. Sinan.

He added that the 2025 Cambodia-China Tourism Year also gave further impetus to the influx of Chinese tourists to the kingdom.

Tourism is one of the four pillars supporting Cambodia's economy, along with garment, footwear and tourism exports, agriculture, construction and real estate. –0–

BELEM, Brazil, November 11 (Xinhua) — Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Monday called on countries to develop and implement ambitious nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to combat climate change.

"I call on countries to fulfill their commitments. This means developing and implementing ambitious nationally determined contributions," he said here at the opening of the 30th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30).

Climate change is no longer a future threat, but a tragedy of today, the Brazilian leader declared. Noting that global warming brings pain and suffering, L.I. Lula da Silva said that holding the conference in the heart of the Amazon was a difficult but necessary task.

"I call on world leaders to accelerate action on climate change. We need a roadmap to enable humanity to equitably and sustainably transition away from fossil fuels, reverse deforestation, and mobilize resources to achieve this goal… so that words can be translated into action," he emphasized.

The President also called on the international community to put people at the center of the climate agenda. Global warming could plunge millions of people into hunger and poverty, setting back progress by decades, he said.

A just transition must help reduce the asymmetry between the Global North and South that has developed over centuries of emissions, the Brazilian leader said. –0–

BEIJING, November 11 (Xinhua) — On Tuesday, an Aviastar-TU cargo plane departed Lishe International Airport in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, for Moscow, officially launching the first regular direct cargo flight from that city to Russia, the Zhongguo Xinwenshe news agency reported.

According to available information, flights on this route will operate twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Compared to traditional sea freight, this route will help improve logistics efficiency by over 60 percent while significantly reducing supply chain costs.

The Lishe Airport border control point has opened a dedicated fast lane for cargo flights and operates a 24/7 uninterrupted customs clearance system, ensuring cargo planes undergo customs inspection upon arrival and depart immediately afterward.

As an important manufacturing base and foreign trade port in the Yangtze River Delta region, Ningbo is competitive in the production of high-value-added products such as lithium batteries, photovoltaic modules, and consumer electronics. These products have high requirements for timely transportation, technological standards, and supply chain stability, and a direct cargo flight will significantly shorten the logistics cycle.

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) — China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Monday called on the international community to take a comprehensive approach to controlling small arms and light weapons, addressing both the consequences and the root causes of the problem.

"The international community should take concrete measures to promote economic growth and social stability in the countries concerned, address the root causes of poverty, violence, unrest and conflict, thereby creating the conditions necessary to address the root causes of the small arms and light weapons problem," the Chinese diplomat said at an open debate at the UN Security Council.

All countries should adhere to the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, remain committed to the peaceful settlement of disputes and the elimination of global and regional security threats through dialogue and consultation to prevent the emergence of new sources of conflict, he added.

Fu Cong called for collective efforts to improve the architecture of small arms and light weapons control based on multilateralism.

According to him, the UN should play its role as the main channel, promote the comprehensive and effective implementation of international legal instruments on small arms and light weapons and enhance the authority, universality and effectiveness of the relevant mechanisms.

China consistently supports and constructively participates in the control of small arms and light weapons, conscientiously fulfills its international obligations, strengthens legal and institutional guarantees, takes a balanced and responsible approach to arms exports, and promotes international exchanges and cooperation, the Chinese Permanent Representative noted.

China is willing to work with all parties to further advance the regulation process, promote lasting peace, common security, and build a world free of gun violence, contributing to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, Fu Cong said. –0–

TEHRAN, November 11 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Monday rejected NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's recent accusations of collaborating with Russia to undermine international rules.

At his weekly press conference, E. Baghaei stated that NATO members accuse other states of actions they themselves have committed. He asserted that an analysis of the facts shows which side violated international law and the UN Charter: Iran or NATO members.

E. Baghaei stated that the United States, “as the most influential member of NATO,” is a violator of international peace and security, emphasizing that the NATO chief’s statements were merely “useless projection and accusations against Iran.” –0–
