Moscow, September 30 (Xinhua) – Building any walls, including a "drone wall," in Europe is a fundamentally bad idea, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, commenting on the European Commission's initiative to propose immediate measures to deploy an anti-drone defense system along the border with Russia.

"Building walls is always bad, as history shows. And it's quite sad that Ukraine's militaristic, confrontational policy could now potentially materialize in the construction of new dividing walls," TASS quoted him as saying.

The Kremlin spokesman noted that Europe continues to pursue a militaristic path instead of seeking dialogue and creating security guarantees. "We see that they continue this militaristic approach instead of considering how to engage in dialogue so as to jointly seek security guarantees during and within the framework of dialogue," Peskov said.

He also emphasized that there are differing opinions on this matter in European countries. "Therefore, we will continue to monitor this further," the Russian president's press secretary added.

GENEVA, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva, Chen Xu, called on the international community to accelerate efforts to resolve the Palestinian issue at the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) on Monday.

The diplomat made this statement during the general debate on the seventh agenda item, dedicated to the human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories.

Chen Xu stated that the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has dragged on for two years, leading to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. Despite this, Israel continues to advance its plan to take control of Gaza, accelerates its gradual seizure of territory in the West Bank, and carries out airstrikes against Hamas members participating in peace talks in Qatar, the Permanent Representative noted.

These actions, he said, constitute gross violations of international law, seriously infringe on the right to existence and development of Palestinians and residents of neighboring countries, and directly undermine stability in the Middle East.

Chen Xu called on the international community to attach great importance to the Palestinian issue, intensify efforts to resolve it, achieve a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza, intensify the implementation of the “two states for two peoples” plan, and safeguard peace and stability in the region.

SHIJIAZHUANG, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — The 20th China International Wuqiao Circus Festival (CWICF) is being held from September 28 to October 3 in Wuqiao County, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, north China. Acrobats from 19 countries and regions are competing at the festival, with Russia boasting the largest number of foreign acrobats.

Great Moscow Circus acrobat Anastasia Ovcharenko is participating in this festival for the first time. "I'm very excited to come to China for the competition. This is one of the largest acrobatic festivals in the world and an international event of great significance."

In preparation for this festival, Wuqiao County has accelerated infrastructure construction and made every effort to provide good conditions for competition for Chinese and foreign guests.

"The infrastructure here is very good, there are also special training areas, and overall it's very convenient," said A. Ovcharenko, adding that her team has made a huge effort to participate in this festival and hopes to achieve good results.

As a reminder, this year's CWICF program includes 28 competition numbers, and the awards package consists of 3 gold, 5 silver, and 7 bronze prizes.

For 36-year-old Russian acrobat Viktor Roshchin, participating in the festival is about more than just winning the competition. "There's no doubt that every acrobat wants to win an award, but first and foremost, we hope to delight the audience, have a good time with them, and convey our enthusiasm."

The young man was deeply impressed by the performance of local acrobats from Wuqiao County. "Chinese acrobatics is very interesting, and Chinese actors can perform many tricks we didn't expect," he said.

The festival has been held every two years since 1987. Currently, along with the international circus festivals in Monte Carlo and Paris, it is considered one of the most prestigious competitions in the field of circus arts, as well as the oldest event of its kind in China.
