Sydney, October 7 (Xinhua) — Australia must do everything possible to ensure that Israel and Palestine can coexist in peace and security, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called for in a media statement on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister noted that Australia is consistently involved in international efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the return of hostages, ensuring the flow of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave and realizing the principle of “two states for two peoples”.

"We must do everything in our power to ensure a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. The State of Israel and the State of Palestine must exist side by side, within internationally recognized borders, in peace and security," emphasized A. Albanese.

Moscow, October 7 (Xinhua) — China supports strengthening the World Trade Organization (WTO) and protecting the multilateral trading system. This was stated by Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui in an article recently published in the Russian newspaper Trud. The publication follows China's decision not to seek new special and differential treatment in current and future WTO negotiations, which was announced in September at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

"China firmly shoulders its responsibilities by fully defending the multilateral trading system," the article said.

Zhang Hanhui recalled that China, having joined the WTO in 2001 as a developing country, enjoys special and differential treatment, actively participates in multilateral trade negotiations, and makes a significant contribution to promoting the liberalization and facilitation of global trade. "China always remembers the original goals of its WTO accession and firmly fulfills its commitment to openness," the diplomat added.

He assessed that the rules-based multilateral trading system is currently facing increasingly serious problems such as hegemonism, unilateralism, and protectionism. "Moreover, individual countries are unleashing trade and tariff wars, which are seriously damaging the legitimate interests of WTO members, seriously undermining the global economic and trade order, and creating uncertainty and instability for global economic development," the ambassador emphasized, noting that the international community is increasingly advocating for the preservation of the multilateral trading system and calling on the WTO to play a more active role in this process.

Zhang Hanhui noted that, in this context, China's decision demonstrates its firm support for the multilateral trading system and its responsibility as a global power. "This decision will give new impetus to the liberalization and facilitation of global trade and investment, and will inject positive energy into the process of reforming the global economic governance system," he asserted.

As the ambassador pointed out, China consistently adheres to the principles of multilateralism and actively works to create a just and equitable world order. China has always been and remains part of the Global South and will firmly stand shoulder to shoulder with other developing WTO members, narrowing the development gap between North and South and placing development at the center of the WTO reform process.

"China will steadily promote the construction of an open global economy, work with Russia and other countries within the WTO to make greater positive contributions to global prosperity, inclusiveness, and development, and work hand in hand with all countries to create a better future," Zhang Hanhui concluded.

Stockholm, October 7 (Xinhua) — Three US-based scientists – John Clark, Michel Devore, and John Martinis – have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of macroscopic quantum-mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in electric circuits, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on Tuesday.

"Their on-chip experiments showed quantum physics in action," the academy said in a statement.

Quantum mechanics allows particles to pass through barriers through a process known as tunneling. Such effects typically disappear when multiple particles are involved.

The laureates' experiments demonstrated that quantum behavior can also manifest itself at the macroscopic level. As the Academy noted, this discovery paves the way for the further development of quantum technologies, including quantum computers, quantum sensors, and quantum cryptography.

“It’s wonderful to be able to celebrate how a century of quantum mechanics continues to yield new surprises,” said Olle Eriksson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics. “It’s also extremely rewarding, since quantum mechanics underlies all digital technology.” –0–

TEHRAN, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Tuesday refuted "intrusive and baseless" statements made recently by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the European Union regarding the country, including its nuclear program and defense activities.

In a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Baghaei strongly condemned and rejected the “inappropriate interference” in Iran’s defense and nuclear programs and warned of “destructive and divisive interference” by some European states in the affairs of the West Asian region.

E. Bagai made this statement in response to a statement released on Monday following the 29th meeting of the Joint Council and the GCC-EU Ministerial Meeting in Kuwait.

In a statement, the foreign ministers of the Gulf states and the European Union called on Iran to reduce tensions in the region, ensure the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, and stop the proliferation of ballistic missiles, drones, and any technologies that “threaten” regional and international peace and security.

According to E. Baghaei, the European Union's "inappropriate interference" in the region's affairs has not contributed to the resolution of regional disputes and problems, but has only demonstrated its "hypocritical and divisive" policy towards Iran and the entire region.

He called on GCC members to refrain from creating conditions for “destructive” third-party interference in the region and to focus on strengthening mutual trust, developing friendship between countries in the region and countering Israel, which he called “the main threat to peace and stability” in West Asia. –0–

Beijing, October 7 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with the Republic of Korea (ROK) to strengthen mutual trust, avoid disruptions, deepen cooperation, and promote each other's success to ensure regional peace, stability, and prosperity. This was stated by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a telephone conversation with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun on Tuesday.
