Ulaanbaatar, October 20 (Xinhua) — Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh vetoed the State Great Khural (parliament)'s October 17 resolution dismissing Prime Minister Gombojavyn Zandanshatar. This was announced at a briefing by Chief of the Presidential Administration Altankhuyagiin Uilstuguldur.

BEIJING, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) — China's industrial sector maintained positive momentum and showed continuous improvement in the quality of growth in the first three quarters of this year.

In January-September 2025, the added value of output at China's leading industrial enterprises grew by 6.2 percent year-on-year, according to data released Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

According to data published by the State Statistical Service, in September of this year this indicator increased by 6.5 percent year-on-year, which was 1.3 percentage points higher than in August of this year.

Industrial production added value in China is used to measure the output activity of leading industrial enterprises with annual revenue from core business activities of RMB 20 million (about US$2.82 million) and above.

According to the State Statistical Office, last month, the added value created by manufacturing enterprises increased by 7.3 percent year-on-year, while in the extractive industry it increased by 6.4 percent. Meanwhile, in the electricity, heat, gas, and water production and supply sector, this figure increased by 0.6 percent.

And in the first three quarters, the growth of this indicator in the manufacturing industry was 6.8 percent, in the mining industry – 5.8 percent, in the sector of production and supply of electricity, heat, gas and water – 2 percent.

In January-September, the added value of products by leading high-tech manufacturing enterprises increased by 9.6 percent year-on-year, and their contribution to the growth of added value of products by all leading industrial enterprises in the country amounted to 24.7 percent.

In the first three quarters, the volume of exports from China's leading industrial enterprises grew by 3.3 percent, a growth rate 0.3 percentage points higher than in January-August of this year.

From January to August, profits at China's leading industrial companies increased by 0.9 percent year-on-year, reversing the downward trend in their overall profits observed since May of this year. In particular, manufacturing profits maintained a relatively high growth rate, increasing by 7.4 percent year-on-year.

Wang Xin, Deputy Director of the Industrial Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistical Information, noted that China's industrial sector still faces problems such as relatively insufficient effective demand and low enterprise profitability.

According to her, the next stage will see the country fully, precisely, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development architecture, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, increase the supply of high-quality products, continually create new growth points to expand domestic demand, and strengthen the foundation for the stable development of the industrial economy.

Data released Monday also showed that China's GDP grew 5.2 percent year-on-year in the first three quarters of 2025. -0-

Washington/Bogota, October 20 (Xinhua) — Washington will immediately cut aid to Colombia and announce a new tariff rate on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday.

“Starting today…/these payments or/ any other forms of financial assistance, subsidies will no longer be provided to Colombia,” D. Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social, without specifying which programs or funds would be affected.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump also said he would announce new tariffs on Colombian imports on Monday.

In response to Washington's accusations on Sunday that Colombian President Gustavo Petro is an "illegal narco-leader," Colombia's Foreign Ministry said the allegations were "extremely serious and contrary to the dignity of the Colombian president."

The Colombian Foreign Ministry also accused the White House of directly threatening the country's sovereignty and condemned Washington's proposal for illegal intervention on Colombian territory, which violates international law and diplomacy, as well as international treaties protecting the sovereignty, independence, and right to self-determination of states.

Colombia intends to appeal to international organizations to defend its sovereignty and the dignity of its president, as well as to condemn interference in the country's internal affairs, the statement said.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Saturday that American forces had attacked a vessel allegedly used by a Colombian rebel group to smuggle drugs, killing all three people on board.

Since early September, the Trump administration has launched a series of strikes on ships suspected of trafficking drugs in the southern Caribbean, killing at least 27 people.

G. Petro accused the US of using its anti-drug policy as a pretext to justify the use of force in the Caribbean to control oil reserves. In September, his US visa was revoked after he joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration and called on American soldiers to disobey Donald Trump's orders during the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

American media reported, citing the State Department, that Washington has provided more than $210 million in aid to Colombia this fiscal year. –0–

Kinshasa, October 20 (Xinhua) — Health authorities may declare the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) over in early December if no new cases are detected by then, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday.

The WHO Regional Office for Africa made the announcement after the last patient hospitalized with Ebola was discharged from a treatment center after making a full recovery. This marked a significant milestone in the country's fight against the deadly virus.

“This release marks the start of a 42-day countdown, after which the outbreak can be officially declared over, provided no new cases are identified,” the statement said.

Since the outbreak was declared on September 4, a total of 64 cases have been reported in the Bulapé health zone in Kasai Province in the central part of the country, including 53 confirmed and 11 probable. According to the WHO, 19 patients have recovered, and no new cases have been reported since September 25.

The DRC previously declared the end of the 15th Ebola outbreak in September 2022, which occurred in North Kivu province in the east of the country. –0–

BEIJING, October 20 (Xinhua) — China's labor market remained generally stable in the first three quarters of 2025, with the average unemployment rate in Chinese cities and towns reaching 5.2 percent during the reporting period. In September, the unemployment rate decreased by 0.1 percentage points month-on-month to 5.2 percent, according to data released Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Employment among key groups remained generally stable, while some service sectors, such as transportation and shipping, hotels and restaurants, and culture, sports and entertainment, saw an improvement in employment in the third quarter of 2025, thanks to ongoing employment-supporting policies and a vibrant summer tourism season, said NBS spokesperson Wang Pingping.

Against the backdrop of growing external uncertainties and instability, structural problems in the employment sector were relatively pronounced, Wang Pingping noted, adding that China will step up employment-supporting policies to maintain stability in the labor market.

According to China's 2025 targets, the survey unemployment rate in cities and towns should remain at around 5.5 percent, with more than 12 million new jobs created in cities and towns.

TIANJIN, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) — At the 7th China International Helicopter Exhibition, Russian Helicopters' aircraft models attracted numerous visitors eager to learn more about their designs and functions.

The exhibition, held from October 16 to 19 in Tianjin, northern China, brought together over 400 companies from over 20 countries and regions. It showcased the latest technologies, products, and achievements in general aviation and low-altitude economics.

This year, the aforementioned company unveiled the Ansat, Ka-32A11BC, and Mi-8/17 helicopters. According to the company, some of its helicopter types have already been in operation in China for many years. These aircraft perform socially significant functions, are used for firefighting, and for search and rescue operations in emergency response situations.

"Developing cooperation with China is a priority for us. A wide range of Russian civilian helicopters currently operates in China: for example, 33 Mi-171s, four Mi-26s, and a total fleet of 40 Ka-32A11BCs. Customers traditionally praise their high efficiency. These heavy-duty helicopters have proven themselves to be highly reliable and remain the most sought-after in Asian regions," emphasized Nikolay Kolesov, CEO of the holding company.

The exhibition included a series of meetings during which the Russian side expressed its willingness to make further deliveries of domestically produced helicopters to China.

Russian Helicopters is ready to offer its Chinese partners Ka-32A11BC and modernized Ka-32A11M helicopters for firefighting, Mi-26 helicopters for disaster relief, and light Ansat helicopters for emergency medical services and flight training.

"We believe this is one of our key markets, and we always make every effort to provide Chinese customers with the best and most technologically advanced products," said company representative Kirill Burenkov. "We hope this market will grow rapidly, and we hope to be a part of it in the future."
