TOKYO, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) — Former Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama died on Friday at the age of 101, the Kyodo News Agency reported.

T. Murayama, born on March 3, 1924, in Oita Prefecture, became chairman of the Japan Socialist Party in 1993 and served as prime minister from June 1994 to January 1996.

On August 15, 1995, he issued a cabinet-approved statement in his own name to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, stating that "Japan, following a mistaken national policy, has advanced along the road to war… and has inflicted great harm and suffering on the people of many countries, especially in Asia, through its colonial rule and aggression."

T. Murayama also expressed “deep remorse” and offered a “sincere apology,” using unprecedented language to apologize for Japan’s wartime actions, which was widely noted by the international community.

T. Murayama retired from politics in 2000 and continued to promote the cause of peace.

On August 15, 2020, on the 25th anniversary of his statement, he emphasized the importance of acknowledging historical facts, apologized, and expressed his determination to refrain from aggression and colonial rule. Murayama expressed hope that his statement would continue to promote reconciliation, peace, and development in Japan, Asia, and the world.

Baku, October 17 /Xinhua/ — China's experience in urban transformation helps address global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and inequality, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Anaclaudia Rossbach said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency on the sidelines of the 3rd National Urban Development Forum of Azerbaijan (NUFA3).

"I think we can draw on the entire experience and trajectory of urban transformation in China—the transition from mass housing construction to the actual creation of more sustainable cities that are planned with people and nature in mind. Personally, I'm very impressed by the level of urban transformation in China, especially over the past 10-15 years," she said.

According to A. Rossbach, China is a reliable partner for UN-Habitat, facilitating the collection and consolidation of global experience and best practices. Specifically, she mentioned the Shanghai Award, which the program awards for achievements in sustainable urban development.

“China also regularly celebrates World Cities Day, both domestically and by inviting international participants to raise awareness of the importance of cities, the importance of an urban perspective in addressing the major challenges we face,” she said.

A. Rossbach expressed hope that UN-Habitat will develop closer cooperation with China to strengthen the role of cities in addressing global challenges such as climate change, poverty and inequality.

NUFA3 took place from October 15-17 in Khankendi and Baku under the theme "Towards Climate-Resilient and Healthy Cities: Leveraging Regional Partnerships and Innovative Solutions." The forum was organized by the State Committee for Urban Development and Architecture of Azerbaijan jointly with UN-Habitat.

BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) — A Chinese court held a public hearing on Tuesday in the case of a criminal gang led by Xu Faqi, also known as Xu Laofa, as part of joint efforts by China and Myanmar to crack down on crime in northern Myanmar that targets Chinese citizens.

More than 57,000 Chinese citizens suspected of involvement in fraud in northern Myanmar have been detained so far, according to China's Ministry of Public Security.

The investigation revealed that, since 2019, a criminal group led by Xu Faqi has used its influence in the Kokang region of northern Myanmar to collaborate with groups engaged in telecom fraud. They subsequently built or leased 14 complexes, recruiting numerous people to commit telephone and online fraud against Chinese citizens.

According to investigations, Xu Faqi, who controlled over 400 militiamen, provided armed protection for these complexes. This allowed the financiers behind these schemes to brutally control, torture, beat, and even kill low-level members of the criminal group.

The criminal organization led by Xu Faqi is suspected of committing numerous crimes, including fraud, intentional injury, illegal detention, and extortion, and is involved in more than 3,400 fraud cases totaling over 1.1 billion yuan (approximately US$155 million).

In September 2023, Chinese police launched a special investigation into Xu Faqi's criminal gang, which operated in the Kokang region. On January 30, 2024, under the China-Myanmar cooperation mechanism on public security, justice, and law enforcement, Myanmar police detained Xu Faqi and handed him over to Chinese authorities. -0-
