BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — Rural development in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region is not a simple economic task but a strategic project related to national unity, ethnic cohesion, cultural continuity and ecological security, according to a report released Thursday.

The report, titled “Harmony between Tradition and Modernity: Rural Development and Cultural Heritage in China’s Xizang,” was jointly published in Chinese and English by the China Foundation for Human Rights Development and the Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency.

It notes that the practical significance of rural development in Xijiang lies in implementing the concept of human rights-oriented development, activating the genes of cultural heritage, and building a strong national security shield.

According to the report, in Xizang, 80 percent of intangible cultural heritage sites are located in rural areas, and 90 percent of intangible cultural heritage beneficiaries are farmers and livestock breeders.

Border villages are not only evidence of internal security protection, but also a clear example of the saying, “To govern a country, one must control the borders, and to control the borders, one must ensure stability in Xijiang,” the report notes.

By the end of 2024, the total number of permanent residents in Xizang reached 3.7 million, with approximately 60 percent of them living in rural areas. Across Xizang, more than 5,600 villages and towns are located within an area of over 1.2 million square kilometers.

The founding of the Xizang Autonomous Region in September 1965 marked a turning point in the region's development. The region, along with other regions across the country, triumphed in the fight against poverty, achieved the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and embarked on a new journey toward the comprehensive construction of a modernized socialist state.

CARACAS, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil on Wednesday condemned the United States' "militarization" of the Caribbean Sea, which has left at least 27 civilians dead.

“We emphasize that the militarization of our coastlines is not justified in any way,” said I. Khil, speaking at the interim ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, held in Uganda.

I. Gil condemned recent US missile strikes on ships in the region, calling them "extrajudicial executions," the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

"These are deliberate killings committed in international waters thousands of kilometers from the US coast, as a result of actions that violate all norms of international law," said I. Khil. According to him, at least 27 civilians have died to date.

He added that behind the US position on Venezuela are “old ambitions: to carry out its already failed plan for regime change to seize control of the country’s resources.”

“We must break the chains with which they intend to shackle our peoples and, through criminal, unilateral coercive measures and blockades, bring our countries to their knees,” I. Khil emphasized.

On his Telegram page, the minister also noted that at the meeting in Uganda, he witnessed “deep solidarity” among key allied countries “in the face of a military threat in the Caribbean that poses a serious risk to peace.” –0–

Dmitry Grigorenko: The "Tax Deduction" life situation has been launched on the government services portal.

A new "Tax Deduction" feature has been launched on the government services portal. It helps you apply for popular tax deductions without leaving the portal. The service guides you through the application process step by step and provides comprehensive information on the available tax deductions. This feature is part of the federal project "A State for the People," overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

A tax deduction allows you to reduce your taxable income and, as a result, lower your personal income tax bill. It can be used to reclaim a portion of already paid taxes, for example, on your salary, or to reduce the amount of tax payable to the budget for certain transactions, such as the sale of real estate.

"The new tax deduction service operates on a principle that applies to all life situations—it's a comprehensive solution for a person's needs: quickly, without visiting government agencies or collecting unnecessary documents. Personal data already in government systems is entered automatically. The "Tax Deduction" life situation was launched on the government services portal to help people complete all the necessary steps sequentially, following a clear algorithm, without switching from the portal to third-party resources," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

This new life situation allows you to simplify the tax deduction process and reduce the risk of sharing your information with untrustworthy organizations that may provide tax return filing services.

The service also helps citizens determine what type of tax deduction they are eligible for. For example, if they incurred expenses for medical treatment, education, or sports during the year, they can apply for a social tax deduction.

Citizens who sold or bought residential real estate apply for a property tax deduction.

People who contributed to a long-term savings program, a non-state pension plan, or opened an individual investment account can claim a deduction for long-term savings.

Taxpayers with children, as well as privileged categories of citizens, receive standard tax deductions.

The service is available in the life situation catalog on the main page of the government services portal. The catalog includes 38 federal life situations. Each of them combines an average of 17 government services related to a single topic: university admissions, large families, retirement, and many others. An additional 32 federal life situations are planned to be launched by the end of 2025.

Alexander Novak with the Minister of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak met with Saudi Arabian Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week international forum.

In anticipation of the Joint Russian-Saudi Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation and the Russia-Saudi Arabia Business Forum, which will take place on November 5-6 this year in Saudi Arabia, Alexander Novak and Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, as co-chairs of the intergovernmental commission, discussed current issues of cooperation in key economic sectors.

Bilateral trade between the two countries is growing dynamically, with trade volume increasing by 62.7% last year. Investment cooperation is also showing positive momentum: the volume of accumulated Russian investment in Saudi Arabia has grown sixfold in one year, while Saudi investment in Russia has increased by 11%. Over the past 10 years, more than 40 joint investment projects have been implemented in information technology, transportation, infrastructure, petrochemicals, and other economic sectors.

Particular attention was paid to cooperation in the energy sector. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that collective action within OPEC is in the long-term national interests and contributes to strengthening the economies of both countries. The parties also discussed the possibility of developing joint projects in LNG, hydroelectric, and nuclear energy.

Cultural, educational, and tourist ties between Russia and Saudi Arabia continue to strengthen. Over the past five years, there has been a significant increase in mutual tourist traffic: the number of Saudi tourists visiting our country has increased eightfold, while Russian tourists traveling to Saudi Arabia have nearly tripled. Direct flights between the two countries were established this year.

"We are successfully developing our bilateral partnership and maintaining close interaction on the international stage. This cooperation is driven by the established, trusting dialogue between the leaders of our countries – Russian President Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman," noted Alexander Novak.
