Caracas, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez on Tuesday reaffirmed Colombia's "moral, physical, and territorial support" in countering threats from the United States.

In a televised address, V. Padrino López called recent US accusations against Colombian President Gustavo Petro baseless.

"We witnessed how American imperialism suddenly labeled the Colombian president a drug trafficker. This is an insult not only to him but to the Colombian people," he said.

The Venezuelan minister also warned that Washington seeks to discredit leaders who refuse to submit to its hegemonic interests. "Anyone who refuses to bow to American imperialism risks being branded a drug trafficker," he added.

The head of the military department also emphasized the duty of the Venezuelan armed forces to defend sovereignty and peace. "Our mission is to contain militant groups, expel them from Venezuelan territory, and neutralize them when necessary, always in accordance with the law and respecting human rights," added V. Padrino López.

His statement comes amid escalating US threats against Venezuela and rising tensions in bilateral relations between Colombia and the United States. –0–

Beirut, October 22 (Xinhua) — US interference in the Middle East has led to "genocide and massacres," Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said on Tuesday.

As reported by the Al-Manar television channel, associated with the group, N. Qassem, speaking at the book's presentation, stated that the Israeli government's policies "are in the service" of Washington, and that Lebanon "cannot give Israel or America what they want."

"Israel has not achieved and will not achieve its goals," he said, reiterating the group's refusal to disarm and insisting that arms in Hezbollah's hands give Lebanon strength.

N. Qassem accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement of November 27, 2024, brokered by the United States and France, and noted: "Follow the agreement. Lebanon has fulfilled it. All maneuvering and pressure are a waste of time."

He said it would be unacceptable for anyone in Lebanon to be "under American command and control."

On Monday, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said that negotiations between Lebanon and Israel had failed, as Israel rejected an initiative to resume them put forward by US Special Representative for the Middle East Thomas Barrack.

Meanwhile, T. Barrak warned Beirut that hesitation over Hezbollah's disarmament could provoke unilateral action by Israel. –0–

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — A total of 2,382 Mexicans have been detained in the United States since January this year, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a morning press conference at the National Palace on Tuesday.

She said 1,390 Mexicans, or about 58.3 percent of the total, were detained between June 6 and October 20 during immigration raids conducted by the U.S. government.

K. Sheinbaum expressed concern about the legal status of those detained, which has not yet been fully clarified.

"We don't agree with the way our brothers and sisters are being treated there," the president said, referring to the immigration raids.

Mexico has sent several diplomatic notes to Washington in connection with its new anti-immigration policy and is providing assistance to citizens who need legal advice to file complaints about human rights violations, K. Sheinbaum confirmed.

She emphasized that victims themselves must file appropriate complaints to receive consular support and further legal assistance. –0–

Harare, October 22 (Xinhua) — China's economic path in recent years has provided countries in the Global South with valuable insights for addressing global challenges, Munetsi Madakufamba, executive director of the Southern African Research and Documentation Centre, a Zimbabwe-based think tank, said in a recent written interview with Xinhua.

He said China has made significant progress in socio-economic development through the implementation of its 14th Five-Year Plan, bringing stability to the global economy.

China's economic path is marked by resilience and transformation, with forecasts pointing to robust growth in 2025, cementing its role as a key anchor of global stability despite global headwinds.

“The cornerstone of China’s approach is its commitment to green development, which is reflected in the development of renewable energy sectors such as electric vehicles, solar and wind power,” said Madakufamba.

For decades, China has used consistent five-year plans to manage its development, establishing itself as one of the major economies committed to long-term strategic planning and setting a strong example for countries in the Global South, the Zimbabwean expert added.

China's vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity resonates in China's diplomatic and economic activities, particularly in its relations with countries in the Global South, according to M. Madakufamba.

The Belt and Road Initiative is also an example of China's active participation in international cooperation, which is crucial for the development of new and large-scale infrastructure projects across the African continent, the expert noted.

He added that China's commitment to strengthening cooperation with countries in the Global South demonstrates its willingness to jointly address current development challenges amid global uncertainties through a win-win approach, creating enormous synergies for countries like Zimbabwe, which aims to achieve middle-income status by 2030.

M. Madakufamba praised Chinese investment in his country, saying China is using capital, technology and expertise to unlock Zimbabwe's vast economic potential and advance its development goals.

“The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is a moment of great significance not only for China, but also for partners like Zimbabwe, who are seeking paths to sustainable development,” concluded Madakufamba. –0–

JERUSALEM, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said on Tuesday that Hamas will be destroyed if it refuses to disarm, and that Israel will decide for itself whether and which foreign troops to deploy in the Gaza Strip.

Speaking at a press conference in Kiryat Gat, north of Gaza, he said Hamas militants could be spared if the movement cooperated. "If it doesn't refuse to cooperate… Hamas will be destroyed," the politician emphasized.

The Vice President noted that the White House would not pressure Israel over the presence of foreign troops, calling it "an issue that requires Israeli consent." Türkiye could play a significant role, he added.

According to J.D. Vance, the mediators working on a possible second phase of the ceasefire face challenging tasks. "Can I say with 100 percent certainty that this will work? No… but to overcome the difficulties, you have to try," he said.

The vice president also expressed frustration over the slow recovery of the bodies of the dead. "Some of these hostages are buried under thousands of pounds of rubble. Some hostages, no one even knows where they are," he said, calling for "a little patience."

The ceasefire has recently come under threat amid mutual accusations of violations, but both Israel and Hamas have publicly reaffirmed their commitment to the agreement.

J.D. Vance, who arrived in Israel on Tuesday, is expected to meet with the country's leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier, White House Special Envoy for the Middle East Steven Witkoff and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived in Israel.

URUMQI, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — Thirty agreements, including cooperation between Tacheng and regions of Kazakhstan, were signed at the Baktu Forum held in Tacheng County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Tuesday, with a total value of about 13.1 billion yuan (about 1.85 billion U.S. dollars).

These documents include framework agreements and agreements on foreign trade and investment cooperation, covering areas such as new materials, cross-border tourism, and final assembly and export of auto parts.

The forum brought together business representatives and think tank experts from China, Russia, Kazakhstan, and other countries to discuss cooperation plans, giving new impetus to trade, economic cooperation, and humanitarian exchanges.

Zhi Xianwei, secretary of the district's Party Committee, stated that Tacheng, with its strong resource advantages, is gradually developing industrial clusters and continuously optimizing its business environment. He expressed hope that the forum will serve as a bridge to facilitate the sharing of the benefits of opening up with all parties and deepen cooperation within the country and with foreign countries.

As a reminder, the forum is named after the Baktu checkpoint located in the district on the Chinese-Kazakh border, which experiences both significant cargo turnover and a large tourist flow.

First held in 2012, the event is now in its fourth year and will be held annually starting this year. The forum is expected to become an important platform for regular exchanges and cooperation between countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

ANKARA, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — Turkey's parliament on Tuesday approved President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's proposal to extend the mandate of Turkish troops in Iraq and Syria for three years.

The proposal was approved by an overwhelming majority of parliament members, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The need to deploy Turkish troops in these countries is justified by the fight against militants of the Islamic State (IS) and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the statement said.

Turkey's current mandate for cross-border military operations in Syria and Iraq expires on October 30.

The country has long maintained a military presence in northern Syria and Iraq under the pretext of fighting the PKK, ISIS, and the Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG).

Türkiye views the SNA as the Syrian branch of the PKK and has designated the group as a terrorist organization.

BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — The Chinese military's recent action to expel an Australian P-8A military aircraft from Chinese airspace was justified, legal, professional and restrained, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said on Wednesday, adding that the Chinese side has made stern representations to the Australian side.

He made the statement in response to media inquiries about the recent incident and comments from Australia.

Forces from the People's Liberation Army's Southern Zone Combat Command (SZCC) on Sunday dislodged an Australian P-8A military aircraft that illegally entered Chinese airspace over the Xisha Islands without permission from the Chinese government.

The Southwest Coast Command deployed naval and air force units to escort, track, respond decisively, warn and dislodge the Australian aircraft in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

However, Australian defence authorities said the actions were "unsafe and unprofessional".

The Australian side's statement distorts the facts and shifts blame to China in an attempt to cover up the illegal intrusion of its military aircraft, Jiang Bin said, expressing strong dissatisfaction with this move and adding that the Chinese side has made stern representations to the Australian side.

Stressing that the Australian side's unfounded arguments are completely unfounded, the official representative of the PLA called on Australia to immediately cease violations and provocations, stop distorting and exaggerating the incident, and strictly control its naval and air forces so as not to damage the relations between the two countries and their armed forces.

The Chinese armed forces will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security, and firmly maintain peace and stability in the region, Jiang Bin said.

URUMQI, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — The China-Central Asia Legal Education Alliance was founded at the China-Central Asia Legal Culture Exchange and Mutual Learning Conference held in Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Tuesday.

This is an important result of implementing the spirit of the First China-Central Asia Education Ministers' Meeting, which was held in May of this year in the above-mentioned city.

The conference was attended by experts and scholars from more than 10 universities in five Central Asian countries and over 10 Chinese universities and law schools, as well as representatives from relevant organizations.

Omirali Zhalairi, Rector of the D.A. Kunaev Eurasian Law Academy, noted that the creation of the alliance has far-reaching significance. It serves not only as an important tool for academic exchange but also as a key mechanism for ensuring regional stability, she added.

Yu Fei, Vice-Rector of China University of Political Science and Law (CUPSL), stated that the alliance will focus on scientific research, personnel training, and other areas of practical cooperation in the future.

Participants agreed that, amid profound changes in the legal profession brought about by the development of artificial intelligence, deepening mutual learning in the rule of law has become a common choice for countries around the world. Transforming traditional good-neighborly relations into stable mechanisms for legal cooperation will lay a solid foundation for building a "China-Central Asia" community with a shared future.

In addition, the conference, co-organized by the Xinjiang People's Government and the Yugoslav Communist Party, discussed issues related to the training of legal professionals in areas related to foreign affairs and international arbitration to create a first-class business environment in China and Central Asia.
