Pyongyang, November 8 (Xinhua) — North Korean Defense Minister No Kwang-chol on Friday criticized Washington for its recent military activity on the Korean Peninsula, saying the United States is threatening the country's security and intentionally escalating political and military tensions in the region, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Saturday.

North Korea will take more offensive action in response, he said in a statement released by KCNA.

But Kwang Chol lashed out at the United States for sending a carrier strike group led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington to the peninsula amid the ongoing joint US-South Korean air force exercises, Freedom Flag. This move further escalated tensions, he emphasized.

The statement also noted that the US and Republic of Korea (ROK) defense ministers visited the area near North Korea's southern border and held their annual meeting to discuss "strengthening deterrence against North Korea and rapidly advancing the integration of nuclear and conventional forces." This position clearly exposes their "hostile nature, aimed at confronting North Korea to the bitter end," Noh Gwang-chol emphasized.

"We are prepared to respond to all threats. We will demonstrate more offensive action against the enemy threat, guided by the principle of ensuring security and protecting peace through powerful force," the statement reads.

Beijing, November 8 (Xinhua) — China has made significant progress in transforming its domestic energy sector toward decarbonization and greening. According to the white paper, this was made possible by proactive measures to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and promote a new energy system.

A white paper titled "China's Plans and Decisions on Achieving Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality," released Saturday by the State Council Information Office, said China has achieved the largest and fastest-growing new energy development in the world, with the share of non-fossil fuels in energy consumption increasing from 16.0 percent in 2020 to 19.8 percent in 2024.

As of the end of August 2025, the installed capacity of wind and solar power plants in the country exceeded 1,690 GW, which is three times higher than the 2020 figure and accounts for approximately 80% of new installed power generation capacity since 2020. In turn, according to the document, the installed capacity of hydroelectric power plants in China amounted to approximately 380 GW, and the capacity of pumped-storage power plants was approximately 62.37 GW.

As of the end of August 2025, China had 112 nuclear power units in operation, under construction, or approved for construction, with a total installed capacity of 125 GW, ranking first in the world in this indicator; the installed capacity of biomass-fired power plants reached 46.88 GW.

By the end of 2024, China will become the world leader in potential production of environmentally friendly hydrogen energy, with over 150,000 tons per year, the document says.

China has also accelerated the clean and efficient use of fossil energy and made efforts to strengthen the regulatory capacity of the power system by enhancing its reliability and resilience as part of efforts to achieve the goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.

As 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this White Paper was published to retrospectively analyze China's major achievements in achieving carbon emissions peaking and carbon neutrality over the past five years, and to share China's approaches, actions, and experience in this area, according to the State Council Information Office. -0-

Washington, November 8 (Xinhua) — US officials will not attend the Group of Twenty (G20) summit in South Africa, scheduled for late November, US President Donald Trump announced on Friday on the social media platform TruthSocial.

He once again asserted that Afrikaners (descendants of European colonists) in South Africa are being "killed and their lands and farms illegally confiscated." The South African government has repeatedly denied such accusations from the White House.

"I look forward to hosting the G20 in Miami, Florida, in 2026!" Trump added. The president had previously announced that he would not attend the G20 meeting in South Africa.

Tensions between Washington and Pretoria arose shortly after Trump returned to the presidency in late January. In February, he signed an executive order freezing American aid to South Africa, claiming that South Africa's recent Expropriation Act, which allows for the seizure of aid in the public interest with compensation, discriminated against the country's white population.

Pretoria officials rejected the White House's accusations, noting that the aid freeze order "lacks factual accuracy and fails to acknowledge South Africa's deep and painful history of colonialism and apartheid."

In February, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on social media that he was boycotting the G20 summit in Johannesburg due to "bad things" in South Africa and criticized the event for focusing on "solidarity, equality, and sustainable development."

In March, Washington expelled then-South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasul, further straining bilateral relations.

In May, during a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House, Trump began discussing the conspiracy theory of "white genocide" in South Africa. Ramaphosa, who arrived in Washington to improve trade terms and ease tensions in bilateral relations, strongly rejected such claims, noting that the majority of crime victims in his country are black. –0–

TEHRAN, November 8 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Friday that the United States should be held accountable for its "direct involvement" in Israeli airstrikes on Iran in June.

In his social media post, X E. Baghaei responded to US President Donald Trump's statements on Thursday, who claimed he was "largely responsible" for Israel's initial strike on Iran. This assertion contradicts Washington's earlier claims that Israel acted alone.

"Israel attacked first. It was a very, very powerful attack. I was largely responsible for that," Trump told reporters at the White House.

E. Baghaei cited US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statements on June 13, when he denied US involvement in the strikes and called them "unilateral" Israeli actions. Baghaei called this statement "an outright lie."

"It was clear from the very beginning that the United States was a full participant in the crime of Israeli aggression against the Iranian people," he said, calling on Washington to be held accountable for "this flagrant violation and monstrous injustice."

On June 13, Israel launched massive airstrikes against several Iranian targets, including nuclear and military ones, killing senior commanders, scientists, and civilians, according to Iranian officials. Iran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes against Israel.

On June 22, US forces struck Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. On June 24, after 12 days of fighting between Iran and Israel, a ceasefire went into effect.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) — The annual China International Import Expo (CIIE) opens doors to least developed countries (LDCs), not only promoting the exchange of ideas, orders and friendship but also stimulating local development and income growth in these countries.

At the 8th CIIE, which is being held from November 5 to 10 in Shanghai, East China, Myanmar entrepreneur Thida Win offers her customers fruit-flavored honey to try, and also displays by-products such as beeswax balm and candles.

"CIIE is a global marketplace in the spotlight. We look forward to finding reputable distributors and unlocking the potential of the Chinese market," said Thida Win, CEO of Plan Bee Social Enterprise.

Although her company has already exported honey products on a small scale to border regions in China, Tida Win is attending the CIIE for the second time to assess market trends and enhance her company's visibility.

She said the company strives to fulfill its social responsibilities by training over 2,000 beekeepers, providing equipment, and purchasing honey from them. Acknowledging CIIE's vision for a shared future, she said, "We expect to increase our production capacity and improve farmers' living standards."

Tida Win's booth is located in an exhibition area featuring products from least developed countries that have established diplomatic relations with China, providing insight into how China's preferential policies help small exporters gain a foothold in the world's second-largest import market. More than 160 companies from 37 LDCs are participating in the 8th CIIE, a 23.5 percent increase over last year.

The links between China and LDCs have extended beyond the exhibition halls to Chinese households and dining tables, demonstrating the positive impact of the Expo and the fruitful results of cooperation.

Hamed Rauf, representing Afghan carpet company Qadir Rauf Co. Ltd., which has participated in all eight CIIEs since 2018, said he has partnered with 15-20 new dealers at each event.

"I really appreciate that many Chinese people appreciate Afghan culture," he said. He noted that the company has opened an operations center in Kunming, Yunnan Province (southwest China), and plans to expand its presence in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province (east China).

China began importing lamb from Africa in 2024, signing its first deal with Sino-Malagasy Animal Husbandry /Madagascar/ Co., Ltd. (SMAH), a Chinese company based in Madagascar. SMAH debuted at the 7th CIIE and won acclaim from distributors.

Last month, Madagascar lamb hit the shelves of stores and the online platform of Hema Fresh, a Chinese fresh produce retailer. At the 8th CIIE, employees demonstrated the quality and low fat content of these meat products live on air.

"We've created a complete production chain for livestock breeding, slaughtering, and processing. Since last year, we've exported over 400 tons of lamb to the Chinese market," said Zhang Ting, CEO of SMAH.

Over 500 local cattle ranches raise livestock for the company, which has strict quality standards. According to a Madagascar cattle farmer, working with SMAH has increased his income.

In addition to the CIIE platform, these small exporters gain greater access to international trade networks thanks to China's zero-tariff policy on goods from least developed countries and African countries with diplomatic relations with China.

Gerd Müller, Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), noted that China is a vital investment and trade partner for developing countries and stressed China's commitment to multilateralism.

“We appreciate and thank China, especially for the zero tariffs for least developed countries,” said G. Müller.

“The Global South’s cooperation with China opens up greater market opportunities for developing countries and promotes technology transfer and industrial development, which offers a chance to end world hunger,” he said. -0-

UN, November 7 /Xinhua/ — Despite significant progress in scaling up humanitarian aid following the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, delays in lifting restrictions mean the population's urgent needs remain unmet, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Friday.

Aid deliveries continue to be carried out only through two crossing points, with no direct access from Israel to northern Gaza or from Egypt to southern Gaza. Furthermore, certain types of cargo and NGO personnel are not allowed into the enclave, the department noted.

UN shelter partners reported that most displaced people remain in overcrowded temporary shelters, many of which have been set up spontaneously in exposed or unsafe areas.

They said that once the restrictions are lifted, humanitarian organizations will have enough materials to meet the basic needs of nearly 1.5 million Palestinians in need.

However, progress is being made in the food sector.

According to OCHA, from the ceasefire on October 10 to November 3, the UN and its partners delivered more than 37,000 tons of humanitarian aid, mainly food, through checkpoints.

Since the ceasefire, the World Food Programme (WFP) has assisted more than 1 million people with food, hot meals, bread, vitamin-fortified snacks for children, enhanced nutrition services and digital cash assistance.
