NANCHANG, November 4 (Xinhua) — The Russian aerobatic team "Russian Knights," consisting of six Su-35S fighter jets and one Su-30SM, performed at the Nanchang Airshow and Aviation Industry Exhibition, which was held from October 31 to November 2 in Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province, east China.

This was the first time the Russian Knights were invited to this event, which took place at the local Yaohu Airport. In the skies over Nanchang, the Russian pilots performed a series of complex and aerobatic maneuvers, including the "falling leaf" and "cobra," demonstrating the powerful maneuverability of heavy fighter jets.

In addition, on the sidelines of the event, the Russian Knights and China's first aerobatic team, Hongxing, made up of retired pilots, also held an exchange of views on aviation culture.

Pilots from the two countries had in-depth discussions on issues such as coordination and cooperation during complex formation flights, precise control of aerobatic maneuvers, and best practices in flight safety management.

"The participation of Chinese and foreign aerobatic teams, such as the Russian Knights, in this event demonstrates the profound exchange and integration of aviation cultures across different countries," said Hu Yanchun, head of the Hongxing Aerobatic Team.

DOHA, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Han Zheng said Monday that China is willing to deepen cooperation with Qatar in various fields and raise the bilateral strategic partnership to a higher level.

Han Zheng, who is visiting the Qatari capital to attend the Second World Summit for Social Development, made the statement during a meeting with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

During the meeting, the Chinese Vice President noted that Qatar enjoys unique and significant influence in the Middle East and is an important strategic partner for China. He emphasized that China consistently places great importance on its relations with Qatar.

Noting that the recent Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China reviewed and approved the recommendations for formulating the country's 15th Five-Year Plan for Social and Economic Development (2026-2030), he said that China is committed to benefiting the world through its development, which will create valuable opportunities for friendly cooperation with Qatar.

"Profound political mutual trust is the foundation of China-Qatar relations," the vice president said, adding that China is willing to work with Qatar to implement the important agreements reached by the two heads of state, maintain high-level exchanges, continue to support each other on issues affecting their core interests, and deepen cooperation in energy, artificial intelligence and the digital economy to elevate the bilateral strategic partnership to a new level.

Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, emphasizing China's status as Qatar's largest trading partner, said in turn that these relations are of vital importance to Qatar.

He added that Qatar values its friendship with China, is grateful for China's support in protecting its territorial sovereignty and national security, and will firmly adhere to the one-China principle.

The Emir stated that his country is ready to expand bilateral cooperation in various fields, strengthen the energy partnership with China and take bilateral relations to a new level. –0–
