BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — China's skilled labor force has surpassed 200 million, accounting for approximately one-seventh of the country's total population. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), these skilled workers played a significant role in driving the country's economic and social progress, bolstered by the country's proactive talent development policies.

ENHANCED TRAINING SYSTEM

“My skills are certified by both employers and the government, making them highly sought after and my career path clear,” said Huang Nola, a garment quality inspector in Guangdong Province, southern China.

Huang Nola is one of many who have benefited from an industry-focused training system. In Guangdong Province, authorities invited large companies to participate in worker development programs, ensuring that training was tailored to employer needs. Around 130,000 workers from over 800 companies participated in these enterprise-tailored programs.

Guangdong Province exemplifies national efforts: 2,440 national technical colleges and nearly 29,000 private institutions complement each other across the country, providing training services across a wide range of industries.

In addition to a variety of training providers, China provides subsidies to eligible trainees to encourage skill development. Since 2021, according to official data, more than 92 million workers, including 30 million migrant workers, have received such financial support for skill development.

In this regard, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the People's Republic of China announced that it will continue the campaign to improve workers' vocational skills and establish a high-quality, employment-oriented and lifelong technical training system.

WIDE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

"Thanks to the new professional rank system, the glass ceiling I once faced in my career has been shattered. The increased salary has also boosted my morale," said Li Yanxu, a "special-level" technician from Henan Province.

In 2022, China unveiled guidelines establishing a new professional rank system, comprising eight technical ranks—three more than the previous five-tier system. This reform not only expanded the rank hierarchy but also restructured the associated institutional mechanisms regarding employment, pay, and promotion. Companies are encouraged to offer higher salaries to workers with advanced professional skills.

Remarkably, over 6,000 skilled workers have been promoted to the newly added positions of "special-level" and "chief-level" technicians. At state-owned enterprises, these highly skilled workers now receive salaries equal to or even higher than those of senior managers.

Meanwhile, to encourage skills development among workers in new fields, China is identifying new types of occupations and incorporating them into the national professional title system.

From 2021 to 2025, 72 new professions will be officially recognized. This constantly evolving system ensures that workers in new industries are consistently included, valued, and provided with clear career paths.

“These mechanisms help create new drivers for employment, encourage workers to improve their skills, and enable skilled workers to receive both public recognition and tangible benefits,” said a representative of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China.

MORE PROFESSIONAL SKILLS CHAMPIONSHIPS

“Preparing for and participating in the competition will help me improve my skills, gain more industry knowledge, and prepare for next year’s WorldSkills Competition,” said Qian Mengying, a fashion design student at the Wenzhou Institute of Technology in Zhejiang Province.

Since 2010, the Chinese team has participated in all seven WorldSkills Competitions, winning a total of 93 gold medals. A multi-tiered system of professional skills competitions has been established domestically, including a national professional skills competition, regional competitions, and competitions organized by various industries. Over 10 million people participate annually in professional skills competitions at various levels and in various formats.

These competitions provide workers with platforms for peer learning and raise public awareness of the importance of upskilling and training, noted a representative of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China. "In the coming years, the ministry will introduce and implement more policies to build a large, professional, and well-structured pool of skilled workers in China," he added. -0-

Tehran, September 23 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi in New York on Monday to discuss recent bilateral interactions, according to a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

During the meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, A. Araghchi noted Tehran's "goodwill and responsible approach" to its nuclear issue. He emphasized that any progress in resolving the issue will depend on the other parties demonstrating responsible behavior and ceasing to make "excessive demands" and "abusing the UN Security Council" to pressure Tehran, according to the statement.

R. Grossi, for his part, praised Iran's "positive" approach to engaging with the agency, especially given the agreement reached earlier this month between the two sides to resume bilateral cooperation. He called on all relevant parties to utilize diplomatic avenues to prevent an escalation of tensions.

Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA following Israeli and US attacks on its nuclear facilities in June, according to a law passed by parliament and the Guardian Council.

Last month, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany invoked the snapback mechanism under the 2015 nuclear deal to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran as a means of pressuring Tehran to resume nuclear negotiations. On Friday, the UN Security Council failed to adopt a resolution that would have blocked the restoration of sanctions against Iran. The sanctions are expected to take effect later this month unless the Security Council takes further action.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council announced on Saturday that the country's cooperation with the IAEA would be "effectively" suspended after the UN Security Council voted against extending the lifting of international sanctions against Tehran.

In 2025, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region will celebrate the 70th anniversary of its founding. This anniversary is of particular significance for China: the region, once considered a marginalized region, has now become a symbol of the country's prosperity and cultural diversity. For me, as a journalist who has traveled throughout Xinjiang numerous times in recent years, this anniversary is more than just a calendar date. It's an opportunity to share my personal impressions of how life in the region is changing, how cities and villages are being transformed, and how tourism infrastructure is becoming increasingly modern while retaining its Eastern charm.

Every time I visit Xinjiang, I begin in Ürümqi, the administrative center that embodies the dynamism of the entire region. Ürümqi amazes with its combination of modernity and traditional Eastern spirit. New neighborhoods, shopping and cultural centers, and wide avenues are springing up before our eyes. Yet, at the same time, places remain where one can feel the breath of antiquity. The city seems to tell the story of Xinjiang's development, where past and future coexist without conflict.

One of the most powerful experiences in Urumqi was visiting the enormous horse complex. This facility is more than just a sports or tourist attraction. For me, it became a symbol of how Xinjiang carefully preserves traditions while simultaneously weaving them into modern life. The horse has always been an important part of the region's culture, and seeing these traditions come to life in new forms was especially inspiring.

Equally vivid memories are associated with trips to high-altitude lakes. Here, nature seems designed to capture the imagination. Clean air, crystal-clear water, and majestic mountains all around—these are unforgettable images. But what's truly astonishing is how seamlessly the tourist infrastructure has been created in these places. Convenient routes, neat recreation areas, modern hotels and services—all designed to preserve the pristine beauty while providing travelers with comfort. It's in places like these that you realize Xinjiang has found harmony between preserving nature and its wise use.

Every visit to the region is incomplete without experiencing its cultural diversity. A visit to the famous Grand Bazaar in Urumqi was especially memorable. This place is more than just a market. It's a true oriental world, full of colors, aromas, and sounds. Everything is sold here: from spices and dried fruits to traditional jewelry and handicrafts. But the most important thing is the atmosphere. At the bazaar, you feel like you've entered the heart of Xinjiang, where ancient traditions live on, where every corner is filled with history and hospitality. I would say that the Grand Bazaar is Urumqi's cultural calling card, a place where you can walk through the pages of history in a few hours and feel like part of an oriental fairy tale.

The Ili-Kazakh Autonomous Okrug holds a special place in my memories. Here in Khorgos, I've repeatedly witnessed the city change before my eyes. Until recently, it was a quiet border town, but today it's a modern city center, breathing the spirit of a new era. Khorgos has become much greener: parks, new streets, and spacious squares have appeared. The architecture has acquired a modern look, yet the city retains that distinctive oriental flavor that makes it unique. Khorgos is an example of how to preserve the soul of a city while giving it a modern edge.

The importance of Khorgos is difficult to overstate. Today, it has become a key hub for international cooperation, particularly within the Belt and Road Initiative. Active trade and joint projects are underway here, giving the city a special status—it has become a bridge between China and Central Asia. For me, as a journalist from the region, this example is particularly valuable: it demonstrates how new opportunities are born at the intersection of cultures.

But perhaps the most valuable thing I find in Xinjiang is its people. Over the years of traveling, I've made many friends in this region, and every return for me is not just a business trip, but a reunion with loved ones. Their genuine hospitality, openness, and desire to share their world make Xinjiang special. Here, over a cup of tea, you can talk about life and history, traditions and modernity, and in these conversations, a true understanding of the region's spirit is born.

I've traveled extensively throughout China, and each region has left its own unique impression on me. But Xinjiang always holds a special place. Here, modern development and ancient traditions, Eastern exoticism and the dynamism of new projects, the grandeur of nature and the comfort of human interaction are wonderfully intertwined. And every time I leave here, I know I'll definitely return again.

Seven decades is an era. During this time, Xinjiang has evolved from a remote region to one of China's most striking examples of development. It has managed to preserve its unique identity while simultaneously becoming a region of opportunity, open to the world. Xinjiang's anniversary is a celebration not only for its residents but for everyone who has ever come into contact with this region. For me, it is a celebration of memories, impressions, and friendships that make Xinjiang part of my personal journey.
