Beijing, September 25 (Xinhua) — The first batch of electric buses from the Chinese brand BYD rolled off the production line in Kazakhstan recently, the news portal cv.ce.cn (Chinese Commercial Vehicles) reports.

The first BYD B12 vehicles, the latest generation of BYD's 12-meter electric city buses, have been produced at the Astana Motors plant. The new model is equipped with a Blade battery integrated into the chassis. The battery is reportedly integrated into the structure, acting as structural beams, increasing overall strength.

As proven by a series of extreme tests under the toughest conditions, including a nail penetration test, the innovative Blade battery is one of the safest in the world.

According to the portal, during a working meeting between high-ranking representatives of the Chinese auto giant BYD and the Kazakh side, which took place in July of this year, the possibility of establishing localized production of electric buses in Kazakhstan was discussed.

Then, in September of this year, at the 8th meeting of the China-Kazakhstan Business Council held in Beijing, BYD Commercial Vehicles Division head Tian Chunlong and Astana Motors founder Nurlan Smagulov signed a production cooperation agreement.

The electric bus production project in Almaty envisions a phased localization. According to the document, starting in 2026, the Astana Motors plant plans to enhance its technological processes and expand its production capacity.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — A high-level special event on climate action was held at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Wednesday.

In his opening remarks, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said the Paris Agreement had reduced the projected global temperature increase over the past 10 years from four degrees Celsius to less than three degrees Celsius, assuming full implementation of current Nationally Determined Contributions.

“We now need new plans for 2035 that go much further and much faster,” delivering deep emissions cuts to reduce projected warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, covering all emissions and sectors, and accelerating a just energy transition worldwide, Guterres said.

The UN chief said China had reached its 2030 wind and solar power target six years early, while India had transitioned to producing half its energy from non-fossil sources five years earlier.

"COP30 in Brazil must conclude with a credible global response plan to put us on the right path," he said. Guterres outlined five key areas for further development: accelerating the transition to clean energy, drastically reducing methane emissions, protecting forests, reducing emissions from heavy industry, and climate justice.

He called for urgently unlocking funds for developing countries so they can benefit from clean energy and protect the lives of their citizens and economies.

Iran does not seek nuclear weapons, says president

UN, September 25 /Xinhua/ — Iran does not seek to acquire nuclear weapons, President of the Islamic Republic Masoud Pezeshkian stated Wednesday at the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

“I hereby reiterate to this assembly that Iran has never sought and will never seek to develop a nuclear bomb,” he said.

"We do not seek nuclear weapons. This is our conviction, based on the decree of the Supreme Leader and religious authorities. Therefore, we have never sought weapons of mass destruction and never will," the president emphasized.

M. Pezeschkian stated that attempts by three European countries (Great Britain, France and Germany), which are parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, to restore UN sanctions against Iran are illegal.

The three countries, known as the "EU3," said they had triggered the "snapback" mechanism of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program by notifying the UN Security Council on August 28 that Tehran was not complying with the agreement.

However, the legality of this step by the EU3 is being challenged, as it did not invoke the Dispute Resolution Mechanism provided for in the JCPOA and Resolution 2231 approving the deal.

According to the JCPOA and Resolution 2231, the Dispute Resolution Mechanism has 35 days to resolve the dispute. Snapback can only be initiated if a solution cannot be found in the previous stage.

The Ili Ancient Town Cultural and Tourism Zone in Yining, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, is known as a "folk architecture museum" thanks to the unique appearance of its residential buildings and cultural heritage. In recent years, local authorities have been exploring the potential of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), transforming local representative ICH sites into immersive projects and workshops for tourists. This preserves ICH traditions and boosts the development of cultural tourism.

"We hope that tourists will be able to experience the warmth of traditional crafts and appreciate the depth of intangible cultural heritage through interactive creativity," said Yimulan Pulati, tourism coordinator for the Yining City Kashanqi Folklore Tourism Development Company. He noted that the ancient city of Ili still boasts artisans who make traditional "doppa" skullcaps, "kunqi" leather goods, and "cheleqchi" tin jugs. Representative ICH projects from across Xinjiang have also been brought in. "We hope that tourists will be able to experience the diversity of ICH here and create unique ICH items with their own hands," said Yimulan Pulati.

"The preservation and heritage of ICH in the ancient city of Ili aims to reintroduce traditional crafts into everyday life and integrate cultural memory into the modern era," explained Yimulan Pulati. Through the training of successors and innovative projects that provide hands-on experience, crafts such as leatherworking, horsehide painting, and sand painting flourish in the fusion of culture and tourism, while China's superb traditional culture is transmitted and developed through exchange and mutual enrichment. This helps breathe new life into the ancient city of Ili through the integration of ICH with cultural tourism.

On September 23, at approximately 4:30 a.m. local time, the Istanbul Bridge departed from the Beilun port district of Zhoushan Port in Ningbo, bound for the UK's largest container port, Felixstowe. This marks the official opening of the world's first Arctic express container route between China and Europe.

According to available information, on September 22, the Istanbul Bridge completed loading over 1,000 TEU containers in the Beilun port district of Zhoushan Port. The vessel will travel along the Northern Sea Route (Northeast Passage) directly to Europe. The one-way journey to the port of Felixstowe will take just 18 days. This is a new record, following the launch of the route to the German port of Wilhelmshaven in late 2024, which took 26 days.

The China-Europe Arctic Express Route is a major achievement in realizing the construction of the "Ice Silk Road" under the Belt and Road Initiative and will provide faster and lower-carbon international logistics options for Chinese industries such as high-tech manufacturing, cross-border e-commerce and new energy.
