BEIJING, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Business talks were held between enterprises from Heihe and Jinhua, east China's Zhejiang Province, in Heihe, northeast China, on Sept. 23. The talks were titled "Heilongjiang and Zhejiang Provinces Join Forces to Enter International Markets."

According to the Heilongjiang Provincial Government website, the event aimed to deepen cooperation between businesses in the two cities and Russia, as well as to create an effective and practical platform for joint efforts to develop international markets. The meeting was attended by approximately 60 representatives of businesses from both cities and Russian businessmen.

As a key hub for China's opening up to Russia, Heihe is located opposite Blagoveshchensk, the third-largest city in the Russian Far East, and offers unique advantages for trade with Russia. Last year, Heihe's trade volume with Russia exceeded 30 billion yuan, an increase of 15.9 percent and accounting for 96.8 percent of the city's total imports and exports.

Heihe has now established a system of cooperation with Russia focused on energy imports and agricultural and engineering exports. Last year, engineering exports totaled 5.05 billion yuan (up 17.6 percent), while agricultural exports totaled 560 million yuan (up 100.5 percent).

Jinhua boasts a vibrant private economy and a strong industrial base, occupying a key position in the global small-commodity trade market. Representatives from over 20 high-quality Jinhua companies attended the talks, drawn by Heihe's unique advantages and favorable policies, hoping to leverage this opportunity to deepen cooperation with Russia.

The free trade zone's preferential policies and development opportunities were presented in detail during the talks. Companies from both cities reached a number of cooperation agreements and signed various contracts. Participants noted that the meeting allowed them to better understand Heihe's strengths, the political environment, and market demand, laying a solid foundation for future activities in import and export, cross-border e-commerce, and cooperation with Russia.

Seminar participants solve practical tasks

By early 2026, SPbGASU will launch an endowment fund, which will accumulate extra-budgetary funds for the university's development. This was announced by University Rector Evgeny Rybnov at a training seminar on the fundamentals of endowment and fundraising held at our university. Over the course of two days, employees received basic training on this activity.

"Today, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation has tasked us with more actively engaging both alumni and the professional community in co-financing the university. Such support will be factored into the university's ranking and assessed by the ministry. In line with our university's development vector, at this year's Academic Council meeting, we decided to establish an endowment fund. Currently, SPbGASU receives a significant share of extra-budgetary revenue, yet its enormous potential is largely untapped. Developing fundraising is an important task. To achieve this, we must first analyze potential contacts and opportunities and then create a professional team of fundraisers. We have been working intensively in this direction for the past several months. The fund should be operational by early 2026," said Evgeny Ivanovich.

The rector noted that our university is collaborating with experts from the National Endowment Association and the European University at St. Petersburg (EUSP), who are helping establish the fund, optimize its operations, and train the working team. The seminar will help take a significant step in this direction, the rector noted.

Svetlana Lavrova, Advisor to the Rector of the European University at St. Petersburg and Chair of the Board of the National Endowment Association, emphasized that fundraising is a search for extra-budgetary funding, and therefore it is incorrect to understand it as a simple request for money. It is more accurately viewed as an invitation to join in a meaningful endeavor.

The endowment's purpose is to provide long-term financing for projects, spanning 5 to 15 years. It works as follows: A donor makes a contribution to the endowment fund. The funds raised by the fund are transferred to the management of a management company. The management company invests the funds under management to generate income in accordance with an investment strategy agreed upon with the management of SPbGASU. The income generated from investments is used to finance the university's activities in accordance with the endowment's objectives. The endowment itself remains inviolable—the funds transferred to the endowment cannot be withdrawn or spent.

"The sources of funding for any university include the state budget, revenue from paid educational services, the scientific and technical activities of educational institutions, and the commercialization of their results. There is always a risk of underfunding, so we're talking about planning for a maximum of five years. An endowment allows us to think long-term. The analytical data provided by SPbGASU suggests that the university's endowment fund will prove effective," noted Svetlana Lavrova.

Other speakers at the seminar included Alla Samoletova, Chief of Staff to the EUSP Rector and an expert in endowment funds; Yulia Selyukova, Head of the educational and outreach projects "Clover Laboratory" and "Our Children," a practicing fundraiser; Nadezhda Yusupova, an expert in fundraising; and Evgeny Mokhovikov, Executive Director of the Aurora-Ala Foundation and Assistant to the Executive Director of the EUSP Foundation.

Bishkek, September 25 (Xinhua) — Members of Kyrgyzstan's Zhogorku Kenesh (parliament) decided to dissolve themselves on Thursday.

"At the meeting of the Zhogorku Kenesh on September 25, deputies reviewed and adopted a draft resolution 'On the self-dissolution of the 7th convocation of the Zhogorku Kenesh,'" the press service of the Kyrgyz parliament reported on Thursday.

Information on this issue was provided by Zhogorku Kenesh deputy Ulan Primov. He noted that the initiative to dissolve the current parliament was put forward by a group of 32 deputies.

As U. Primov explained, the difference between two important political events—the presidential and parliamentary elections—is only a short period of time. Therefore, in order to strengthen the political system and stability in the country, the initiative group proposes that parliament voluntarily resign.

According to the plan, parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan were supposed to be held in November 2026, but presidential elections are scheduled for two months later, in January 2027.

Following the vote, 84 deputies supported the initiative group's proposal to dissolve parliament. The country's parliament currently consists of 90 deputies.

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.
