BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — A direct international air route between Datong City in North China's Shanxi Province and Moscow was officially launched on Sunday, marking the opening of a second tourist air route between the Russian capital and China's Shanxi Province, Zhongxinshe News Agency reported.

Flights Y7535/Y7536 on this route will be operated once a week. According to the schedule, the aircraft departs Moscow on Saturdays at 18:45 Moscow time and arrives in Datong at 08:50 the next day Beijing time. The return flight is operated on Sundays at 10:30 Beijing time from Datong, landing at Moscow airport at 15:35 local time.

And the opening of flights Taiyuan-Moscow and Datong-Moscow will allow the two sides to deepen their friendship and intensify interactions.

According to Li Zhiwei, CEO of Baohua Travel, Moscow and St. Petersburg are very attractive to Chinese travelers. Shanxi Province, where many attractions have been preserved, is also an interesting destination for Russian tourists. -0-

SANAA/JERUSALEM, July 7 (Xinhua) — Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Yemen's Red Sea ports in the western province of Hodeida late Sunday.

The strikes came minutes after the Israeli military issued an urgent evacuation warning on the X social media platform. Witnesses reported explosions in several locations along Yemen's west coast, including the port of Hodeida.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement that the strikes targeted what he described as Houthi strongholds, including the ports of Hodeida, al-Salif and Ras Isa, the Ras Katib power plant and the Galaxy Leader ship, which was captured by Houthi forces in November 2023.

He suggested that a wider escalation could follow. “Yemen will be treated the same way as Tehran,” he said. “The Houthis will continue to pay a high price for their actions.”

Earlier on Sunday, a rocket fired by Houthi forces triggered air raid sirens in southern Israel and was intercepted without casualties, the Israeli army said. The Houthis said it was a hypersonic missile aimed at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.

Israel has carried out several strikes on key ports and infrastructure in Yemen in recent months, while the Houthis continue to fire rockets into Israel while declaring solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. –0–

KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Xinhua) — The BRICS grouping, which has proven itself to be a strong and principled force, represents an opportunity to shape a more balanced and fair international order, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.

The Prime Minister said in a statement that existing international institutions need to be reformed to reflect the changing global reality and take into account the aspirations of developing countries.

“I also call for a major overhaul of global institutions such as the UN, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization so that they better reflect modern realities and the needs of developing countries, rather than remaining within the outdated structures that emerged after World War II,” he said.

A. Ibrahim, who attended the 17th BRICS summit in Brazil, also noted that the association should strengthen economic cooperation both among member countries and with other regional associations such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

“BRICS and ASEAN members should also continue to strengthen strategic cooperation, including expanding intra-regional trade and investment for mutual benefit of developing countries,” he stressed. –0–

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 6 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Ethiopia to promote the sustainable development of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway, a flagship project of the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road, and expand bilateral trade and investment, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.

The head of the Chinese government made this statement during a meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

Li Qiang noted that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Ethiopia 55 years ago, the two countries have always treated each other sincerely and helped each other despite the changes in the international situation. According to the Premier of the State Council, cooperation between the two countries has long been at the forefront of China-Africa cooperation.

Li Qiang recalled that in June, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the participants of the ministerial meeting of the coordinators of the implementation of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FCAC), announcing new important measures such as the introduction of zero import duties on 100 percent of goods for 53 African countries that have diplomatic relations with China.

The head of the Chinese government stressed that China is ready to use the new measures together with Ethiopia as an opportunity to promote the full practical implementation of the results of the Beijing FCAC summit.

He called for deepening all-round cooperation between the two countries and making bilateral relations a model for building an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era.

As the premier pointed out, China will continue to support Ethiopia in independently exploring a development path suited to its own conditions, and is willing to deepen bilateral cooperation in such areas as infrastructure, new energy vehicles, green industry, e-commerce and artificial intelligence, and enhance exchanges in tourism, youth and education.

Noting that China and Ethiopia are important countries in the Global South, Li Qiang stressed that China is willing to work with Ethiopia to strengthen communication and coordination within multilateral structures such as the UN and BRICS, promote joint efforts by all parties to realize true multilateralism, firmly safeguard economic globalization and free trade, and bring more stability and positive energy to the world.

China's premier arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday to attend the 17th BRICS summit. –0–
