Jerusalem, October 26 (Xinhua) — Red Cross and Egyptian teams have been granted permission to enter the Gaza Strip to search for hostage bodies, Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian announced on Sunday.

Speaking at a briefing, Sh. Bedrosyan reported that Israel has allowed teams assisting in search operations to move beyond the "yellow line," which marks the border of the Israeli troop withdrawal zone in accordance with the current ceasefire agreement.

Sh. Bedrosyan noted that the Palestinian movement Hamas has yet to return the bodies of 13 hostages. According to the agreement, Hamas is obligated to hand over the remains of 28 dead hostages in addition to the 20 living hostages released earlier this month.

Beijing, October 26 (Xinhua) — China has created the world's most advanced maritime judicial system, with the largest number of such cases and the broadest range of judicial procedures, according to a report from the Supreme People's Court of China.

A report on maritime cases in China's people's courts was submitted for discussion on Sunday at the 18th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC).

According to the report, China established its first group of maritime courts based on a relevant decision of the NPC Standing Committee in November 1984. Over the past four decades, the country has established 11 maritime courts with inter-regional jurisdiction and 42 mobile courts.

The report emphasizes that the number of maritime cases has increased significantly over the period, and their typology has expanded significantly. The annual number of cases heard has increased from 18 in 1984 to 34,400 in 2024. The typology of cases has expanded from traditional disputes related to maritime trade and shipping to include areas such as marine resource development, environmental protection, port and terminal construction, maritime culture, and tourism.

Furthermore, China played a key role in shaping international maritime law. As the report notes, the Beijing Convention on the Judicial Sale of Ships, based on Chinese jurisprudence, became the first international maritime convention named after a Chinese city adopted by the UN General Assembly.

Singapore, October 26 (Xinhua) — China will resolutely advance high-level opening-up, further facilitate market access, continuously optimize the business environment, and actively address the concerns of enterprises. Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced this on Sunday at a symposium attended by representatives of the Chinese and Singaporean business communities during his official visit to Singapore.

He attended the symposium together with Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong.

After hearing speeches from representatives of enterprises from both countries, Li Qiang noted that over the past 35 years, thanks to the joint efforts of China and Singapore, friendly interstate cooperation has achieved significant progress and yielded fruitful results.

According to him, experience convincingly demonstrates that the development of each country provides an important opportunity for the other. He emphasized that if both sides adhere to the principles of mutual respect, trust, openness, and cooperation, they will be able to prosper together and create a bright future through mutual success.

As Li Qiang recalled, the visa-free regime agreement between China and Singapore officially entered into force last year, and the free trade agreement was also updated, which provided new important opportunities for cooperation and development between the two countries.

Speaking about prospects, the Premier noted that China-Singapore cooperation will continue to continuously improve and acquire new distinctive features. This will not only require the joint efforts of both countries' business communities but will also bring new opportunities for the development of enterprises in both countries and around the world, he added.

First, Li Qiang called for raising the qualitative level of bilateral cooperation, moving from "complementary factors" to "coordinated innovation." He argued that China's comprehensive industrial system, diverse application scenarios, and growing number of cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements, combined with Singapore's highly internationalized innovation ecosystem and advanced financial services, could unleash even more powerful drivers of innovation development.

Secondly, Li Qiang emphasized the need to move from "bilateral cooperation" to "trilateral cooperation." He stated that China supports companies from both countries in exploring more flexible approaches to cooperation, actively leveraging platforms such as new land-sea corridors to actively engage with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Africa, and jointly exploring a broader market space.

Third, Li Qiang called on both sides to move from "participating in the international division of labor" to "jointly leading the development of rules." He noted that China and Singapore can take more proactive and constructive steps to more closely align standards and regulations in emerging areas such as the digital and green economies, actively guiding the development and transformation of the global industrial system.

According to the Premier of the State Council, at the recently concluded 4th Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, proposals for drafting the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) were reviewed and adopted, outlining a general strategic program for China's development over the next five years.

China's economy has a solid foundation for stable operation, its growth rate is among the fastest among major economies in the world, and the flows of people, goods, information, and capital remain dynamic, while new growth drivers are becoming increasingly powerful, which will provide enterprises with greater market opportunities in the future, Li Qiang emphasized.

He assured that China will adhere to equal treatment of domestic and foreign enterprises and support Chinese and Singaporean companies to achieve greater progress.

For his part, Gan Kim Yong stated that thanks to the painstaking efforts of several generations of leaders of the two countries, the current Singapore-China relations are distinguished by a solid foundation and close cooperation, with each side having become an important trade and investment partner for the other.

Gan Kim Yong emphasized that Singapore is committed to jointly advancing a high-quality, future-oriented comprehensive partnership with China and looks forward to using the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year as an opportunity to expand trade and investment, explore cooperation opportunities in emerging areas such as the digital and green economies, strengthen coordination in multilateral fora, and achieve common development based on the spirit of mutual respect and mutual benefit.

Business representatives attending the event noted that trade and economic cooperation between China and Singapore contributes to the development and prosperity of both countries and the entire region. Singaporean businesses expressed optimism about China's development prospects and expressed their intention to continue investing in the country, confident that the process of Chinese-style modernization will open up even more opportunities for countries around the world, including Singapore.

Business representatives from both countries expressed their willingness to further strengthen interaction and deepen cooperation in areas such as finance, investment, digital economy, green development, infrastructure, logistics, and healthcare, in order to achieve new fruitful results in practical cooperation between China and Singapore.

Moscow, October 26 (Xinhua) — The Association for Promoting the Peaceful Reunification of China in Russia and the Association of Ethnic Chinese in Moscow held a meeting on Saturday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation from Japanese occupation and the island's return to China. Approximately 100 representatives of the Chinese diaspora in Russia participated in the event.

In his address, Zhang Wei, Chargé d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in the Russian Federation, noted that the meeting demonstrates the Chinese people's strong will to uphold national unity. He stated that Taiwan's liberation was not only a great victory for the Chinese people in resisting foreign aggression and defending their state sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also the result of the joint struggle of the global anti-fascist coalition. The diplomat expressed hope that Chinese compatriots in Russia will continue to maintain unity, continually strengthen and expand their efforts to oppose "Taiwan independence" and promote reunification, and make a new contribution to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The leaders of the Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Russia and the Association for the Promotion of Confucius Culture in Russia stated in their speeches that they will continue to play a liaison role, uniting even more Chinese compatriots and friends in the Russian Federation, resolutely opposing separatist activities aimed at achieving "Taiwan independence," defending the one-China principle, and promoting exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

"Eighty years ago, at the cost of enormous sacrifice, we achieved Taiwan's liberation. Today, we are closer than ever to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and have greater opportunities and confidence to achieve the complete reunification of our homeland. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will certainly become even closer—this is our shared hope and an inevitable historical outcome," emphasized Cai Jianlin, Executive Chairman of the Association for Promoting the Peaceful Reunification of China in Russia.

Nikolai Voropaev, a research fellow at the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a sinologist, believes that, given the attempts of some countries to falsify history, China's establishment of Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day is both urgently needed and appropriate. "This will help spread information and knowledge in the international community that Taiwan has been an integral part of China since ancient times and will ultimately return to the bosom of the Motherland," he said.

Bishkek, October 26 (Xinhua) — China's goals for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) are ambitious. They reflect the development realities of both the country and the world and, most importantly, meet the aspirations of the Chinese people for a better life. Political scientist and Director of the Kyrgyz Institute of World Politics Sheradil Baktygulov told Xinhua.

From October 20 to 23, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee was held in Beijing. Numerous tasks and goals were proposed for the next five years. These included: building a modern production system, strengthening and developing the real sector of the economy, accelerating the achievement of scientific and technological self-sufficiency, accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and awakening the innovative and creative spirit of the entire nation in the cultural sphere.

As Sh. Baktygulov noted, China's development experience shows that it is able to pool its efforts and resources to achieve its goals and objectives. The country's growth is essential for ensuring better living conditions for its citizens. "China will continue its economic and technological growth and become a more technologically advanced, self-sufficient, and well-motivated player on the global stage," the expert asserted.

In his view, the 15th Five-Year Plan period will be a key stage on China's path to achieving its 2049 goal of transforming the country into a prosperous and strong, democratic and civilized, harmonious and modernized socialist state. "The key priorities are already clearly evident from the leadership's statements and current trends," the Xinhua source noted.

According to Sh. Baktygulov, among the goals set for the 15th Five-Year Plan, the most attention is drawn to those related to China's technological self-sufficiency, ensuring security, and promoting high-quality growth.

"These are complex processes, especially given that China is a global power. However, China is handling the most complex challenges extremely well, which inspires optimism and confidence in the country's continued development," the Kyrgyz political scientist stated.

Sh. Baktygulov is convinced that during the 15th Five-Year Plan, China will become an even more mature and self-sufficient power, focusing its economic model on domestic sources of growth and placing a premium on technology.

"I think China's leadership will find clever, truly innovative and unexpected solutions that will make China stronger, richer and more resilient," he said, adding that China's approach to planning and development is characterized by foresight and scientific soundness.

According to the political scientist, Chinese planning lays a solid foundation for its own prosperity while simultaneously making a significant contribution to global development. "For Kyrgyzstan and the Central Asian region as a whole, China's stable growth and openness will provide even more market opportunities and will facilitate the development of regional production and logistics chains, as well as the deepening of regional economic cooperation," noted Sh.

"For the entire world, China's development model, focused on innovation, coordination, ecology, and openness, offers Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for global governance, thereby promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for humanity," the expert concluded.
