Guiyang, November 24 (Xinhua) — Guizhou, a mountainous province in southwest China, plans to launch its first scheduled low-altitude logistics route using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by the end of 2025. The decision was made following the successful completion of a city-to-city test flight of a domestically developed electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle.

On November 20, a two-ton eVTOL delivered medical supplies and agricultural produce from a low-altitude flight support base in Guiyang to a general aviation airport in Huangping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, covering 118 km in just 40 minutes. By comparison, traditional ground transportation between these two locations takes over two hours due to the karst terrain.

The test flight allowed us to verify the stability and effectiveness of the aircraft in challenging mountainous terrain, noted Ho Kui, project director of the low-altitude economy development company, which is wholly owned by Guizhou Civil Aviation Industry Group.

According to him, the province plans to launch the first route this year and subsequently expand its scope of application to include passenger transportation for tourism and commuter services.

The V2000CG CarryAll, which completed its test flight, was developed by Shanghai-based AutoFlight. It is the world's only eVTOL with a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 1 ton. The aircraft has received all three required Chinese aviation certifications: type certificate, production certificate, and airworthiness certificate. Its payload reaches 400 kg, maximum cruising speed is 200 km/h, and range is 200 km. Power is provided by batteries from CATL, a strategic investor in AutoFlight.

Li Yun, Chief Commercial Officer of AutoFlight Kunshan, the final assembly base for the eVTOL, said the company is committed to promoting the development of low-altitude economies in Guizhou Province, benefiting rural development and modern logistics.

China's low-altitude economy is entering a phase of rapid growth. The Civil Aviation Administration of China estimates that the market will grow from 500 billion yuan (approximately $70.5 billion) in 2023 to 1.5 trillion yuan in 2025, and by 2035, this figure could reach an impressive 3.5 trillion yuan. -0-

URUMQI, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) — The annual foreign trade cargo turnover through the airport in Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, exceeded 100,000 tons for the first time.

As of November 19 this year, cargo turnover reached 101,400 tons, a 257.14 percent increase compared to the same period last year, and the number of foreign trade cargo flights increased by 243.67 percent to 4,966, according to the customs service of Tianshan Airport in Urumqi.

According to local customs data, cargo is currently shipped from Tianshan Airport along 28 routes to countries in Central and South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Among these, the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan stand out as key export destinations.

Exports through Urumqi Airport are dominated by clothing, daily necessities, machinery and electronics, and Xinjiang agricultural products. Imports, however, have seen a significant increase in cold-chain shipments, precision instruments, high-end consumer goods, and medical supplies.

Customs attributed the increase to measures simplifying customs procedures. These include the introduction of 24/7 customs clearance for cargo by appointment (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), the opening of a "green corridor" for agricultural products, cross-border e-commerce goods, and high-value-added products, which allows for fast customs clearance of electronic goods within two hours, and the introduction of a customized service program for chilled seafood.

"Achieving 100,000 tons of foreign trade cargo turnover is a shining example of the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt's core zone," said Liu Jingyi, Deputy Director of Customs at Urumqi's Tianshan Airport. Customs officials will continue to improve customs control services and expand trade channels for specialized goods, prioritizing cross-border e-commerce, cold chain air freight, and other new forms of business, he stated.

Geneva, November 24 (Xinhua) — Following talks with the Ukrainian delegation, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday evening declined to disclose any details of the day's discussions in Geneva between the United States, Ukraine, and European partners on the 28-point peace plan.

At a briefing held around 6:00 PM local time, both the American and Ukrainian sides confirmed "progress" in their previous talks on the US-proposed plan to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Although they asked journalists to wait for an update later in the evening, only M. Rubio returned to the press two and a half hours later.

He said he was not prepared to provide any details on the specific issues discussed during the talks.

M. Rubio reiterated that the day's talks had been "productive," adding that he remains "very optimistic" about reaching an agreement within "a very reasonable timeframe, very soon." However, he also noted that "there is no agreement yet… /some/ require higher-level decisions and consultations." M. Rubio added that the differences include semantics or linguistic aspects, and there are still issues "that require more time to work out."

"The issues that remain open are not insurmountable," the US Secretary of State emphasized. He added that some of them concern issues of equality or the role of the European Union or NATO, which require further discussion with European partners.

The Ukrainian delegation did not return for the second briefing.

Following the talks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on social media that it was important to ensure that "steps to end the war are effective and everything is feasible." –0–

JOHANNESBURG, November 23 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang called on G20 countries to strengthen international cooperation to jointly address challenges and promote development.

He made the call while attending the second and third sessions of the 20th G20 summit, which took place in Johannesburg from 22 to 23 November.

The Premier of the State Council stated that the current situation, where numerous challenges such as climate change, energy and food crises are piling up on each other, requires the international community to join forces and solve problems through cooperation.

First, Li Qiang called on all parties to strengthen cooperation in the field of ecology and environmental protection and enhance sustainable development.

The head of the Chinese government said that China expects to intensify cooperation with all parties within the framework of the Kunming-Montreal Global Framework for Biodiversity and accelerate the implementation of the outcomes of the 30th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30).

Secondly, Li Qiang called for promoting cooperation in green energy and advancing a just energy transition.

He pointed out the need to promote global cooperation in the development of green industries, ensure stable and smooth operation of production and supply chains, and facilitate the free movement and implementation of relevant technologies and products.

The Premier also expressed China's readiness to continue to do its utmost to support the energy transition process in all countries around the world.

Third, Li Qiang called for strengthening cooperation in food security and ensuring stable food supplies.

He stated China's intention to work with all parties to advance the implementation of the international food security cooperation initiative and make new contributions to the fight against hunger and poverty.

Li Qiang noted that the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, bringing unprecedented opportunities for development to the world, but it could also give rise to new inequalities and development gaps.

As the head of the Chinese government emphasized, the G20 should encourage all parties to adhere to the principles of openness, win-win cooperation, and sharing opportunities in order to strive to improve the well-being of people in all countries of the world.

First, according to Li Qiang, it is necessary to promote the widespread use of artificial intelligence and its effective governance. He called on G20 countries to actively promote cooperation in research and development, share achievements, narrow the intelligence gap, and improve governance regulations.

Secondly, Li Qiang continued, it is necessary to stimulate mutually beneficial cooperation in the key mineral resources sector and promote their peaceful use.

Li Qiang stated that China supports the constructive role of the UN Secretary-General's Panel of Experts on Critical Minerals for the Energy Transition and advocates for the comprehensive implementation of the G20 framework for key mineral resources. He called for promoting a more balanced distribution of benefits in value chains to better protect the interests of developing countries.

Third, as Li Qiang pointed out, it is necessary to increase support for countries in the Global South to strengthen their development potential and improve the living conditions of their people.

He called for increased capacity-building assistance to African and other developing countries, to create more jobs there and to promote the development of local women and youth.

The summit adopted a document entitled “G20 South Africa Summit: Leaders’ Declaration.”

During the summit, Li Qiang held friendly talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, Angolan President João Lourenço, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, World Trade Organization Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and other high-ranking officials. –0–
