XI'AN, October 31 (Xinhua) — On the evening of October 27, in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province (Northwest China), the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of conductor Valery Gergiev, concluded with a performance of French composer Maurice Ravel's celebrated classical work "Bolero." Thunderous applause echoed for several minutes in the concert hall of the Xi'an Grand Theatre.

As one of the key performances of the 11th Silk Road International Arts Festival, this concert program featured iconic works characteristic of the work of Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra. The concert opened with the overture to the opera "Khovanshchina," "Dawn on the Moscow River." The orchestra then performed Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," orchestrated by Maurice Ravel, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite "Scheherazade."

"Rich timbre, magnificent performance," "high-class symphonic performance"—many viewers left their comments about the concert on Chinese social media sites like Xiaohongshu. Some audience members also called the performance "stunning" and "unforgettable."

The Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra is one of the oldest musical ensembles in Russia. It is also one of Russia's leading classical orchestras, and its interpretations of many works by Russian composers have received high acclaim worldwide.

As Valery Gergiev noted, he has performed in China many times over the past 27 years. As China's economy rapidly develops, he has noticed the emergence of excellent concert halls in many cities across the country, which is a remarkable achievement.

“I hope I will have the opportunity to perform with the orchestra in Xi’an again in the future,” he said. -0-

Gyeongju, South Korea, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) — Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) ministers on Thursday called for openness and connectivity amid unfavorable economic trends.

At the APEC Ministerial Meeting, co-chaired by Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Cho Hyun and Minister of Trade of the Republic of Korea Ye Han-goo, ministers sought to reach consensus on the current global trade situation and identify ways to stimulate growth and shared prosperity in the face of rising protectionism and weakening trade activity.

In his opening remarks, Cho Hyun emphasized that the Asia-Pacific region remains the engine of global growth. He noted, "Economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, climate change, and demographic change are testing both our resilience and our resolve."

"Let us together reaffirm APEC's unwavering goal—to keep our region open, connected, and forward-looking for the prosperity of all our peoples," the Kazakh Foreign Minister urged.

Ye Han Gu, in turn, pointed out that the spirit of openness and trade, historically inherent in the region, remains the key to overcoming future challenges.

“Amid profound changes in the global economy, there is no better time than now to revive the spirit of openness and cooperation,” he stressed.

APEC countries and regions are home to more than 40% of the world's population, and the association accounts for over 60% of the global economy and 50% of world trade.

As noted in a press release issued following the ministerial meeting, the ministers acknowledged that today, as the region faces demographic changes, technological gaps, and restructuring of trade flows, this economic power comes with growing responsibility. –0–

Moscow, October 30 (Xinhua) — The goals China has set for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) signal a change of era and reflect a new stage of global development, according to Boris Titov, Special Representative of the Russian President for Relations with International Organizations to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and Chairman of the Russian Section of the Russia-China Committee for Friendship, Peace, and Development.

"China's 15th Five-Year Plan is more than an internal document. It signals a change in eras. The world is entering a new era, where the primary values are no longer raw materials and cheap labor, but innovation, justice, and sustainable development. And the countries of the Global South are becoming active participants in this transformation, not passive observers," he noted in a commentary for Xinhua.

According to B. Titov, the essence of the new plan is a shift from quantity to quality. "China is focusing not on mass production, but on innovation, green technologies, and the fight against inequality. Giant factories are being replaced by new productive forces: science, high technology, and talented personnel," the Russian president's special representative stated, adding that this strategy is closely linked to the "dual circulation" concept.

In this way, China is strengthening its own market without shutting itself off, remaining part of the global economy. "This approach teaches countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America how to build domestic resilience without severing ties to global trade," noted B. Titov.

Speaking about China's growing importance to the global economy, including projects implemented as part of the Belt and Road Initiative, he noted that cooperation with developing countries is becoming deeper and more nuanced. "China is now 'teaching how to fish,' rather than handing out fish. Chinese companies and universities are actively working with local specialists, helping develop digital infrastructure, share technologies, and train talent. This is an investment not in concrete, but in intellectual potential," the Xinhua source emphasized.

According to B. Titov, China's interaction with its partners is based on practical solidarity. He recalled the recently launched Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund, with an authorized capital of $4 billion. "The key rule is that projects must meet the real needs of local residents and not be dictated from the outside," explained the Russian President's special representative.

He also noted the growing role of the digital yuan. "China has created a working technology for settlements in digital currency. This makes international payments and money transfers faster and cheaper," Titov noted, emphasizing that this is another advantage China has in international economic cooperation.

Moscow, October 30 (Xinhua) – The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE), which will be held in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, opens new opportunities for Russia to expand business ties with China. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated this at a briefing on Thursday, responding to a question from a Xinhua correspondent.

"This platform will provide additional opportunities for Russian entrepreneurs and business circles to showcase their achievements, expand business ties with China, find reliable partners, and enter the international market," she noted, emphasizing that CIIE is China's largest foreign trade forum.

As M. Zakharova noted, Russian products enjoy consistent demand in the Chinese market. This applies in particular to products from the Russian agricultural sector, as well as industrial and IT developments, and high-tech equipment from Russia.

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson praised the stability of China's trade turnover, which is evidence of the high activity of the Chinese manufacturing sector. "This year, despite all the restrictions, Washington's tightening of tariff policies, and other sanctions, we have seen a consistent increase in China's foreign trade volumes," she emphasized.

M. Zakharova added that Beijing's redirection of goods to alternative markets allows us to confidently predict that positive trends will continue in the near future. "The multilateral trading system, which is currently under significant pressure from the United States, plays a key role in maintaining global economic stability," she noted.

The Russian diplomat wished the CIIE success. –0–
