UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday called on the international community to "put down our weapons, end suffering, build bridges and create stability and prosperity" in his message to mark the International Day of Peace, observed annually on September 21.

"The world cannot wait," the head of the global organization said, adding that this year's International Day of Peace calls on each of us to support this call.

According to A. Guterres, all over the world, in the face of the cruelty and devastation of war, people are dying, children are deprived of their childhood, and human dignity is trampled upon.

"We're seeing an explosive growth in conflicts. International law is being ignored. And record numbers of people are fleeing their homes," he said.

"All they want is peace. Peace is everyone's business," said A. Guterres, adding that the war's consequences are spreading across the globe.

The UN chief noted that while sustainable development promotes peace, nine out of 10 countries that struggle most to develop suffer from conflict.

He called on the international community to “suppress racism, dehumanization and disinformation that are adding fuel to the fire of conflict.”

“Instead, we must speak the language of respect and open our hearts to others,” he stressed.

"Where there is peace, there is hope" – families are united, communities are rebuilt, children are learning and playing, the UN chief said.

The International Day of Peace was established by the UN General Assembly in 1981. Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to declare the day a period of non-violence and ceasefire. This year, the International Day of Peace is being observed under the slogan "Act now for world peace."

Beijing, September 22 (Xinhua) — China is preparing for Typhoon Ragasa, the 18th typhoon of the year. Heavy rainfall is expected to hit the southern and eastern parts of the country.

According to the National Meteorological Center (NMC), Ragasa strengthened into a super typhoon on Sunday morning. It is expected to make landfall between Shanwei City, Guangdong Province, and Wenchang City, Hainan Province, between Wednesday morning and midday.

Meteorologists have warned that Ragasa, moving fast and maintaining strength, will become the most powerful typhoon to hit China this year.

As the typhoon approaches, heavy rainfall is expected from Tuesday through Thursday in eastern Taiwan and parts of Guangdong, Fujian, and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Rainfall amounts will reach 280 mm in some areas. Heavy rainfall is also expected in parts of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, the National Meteorological Center predicted.

The NMC recommended that local authorities take precautionary measures, promptly evacuate local residents to safe areas, and strengthen security management in the transport and marine tourism sectors. -0-

CAIRO, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) — Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Abu al-Gheit on Sunday welcomed the recognition of the independent State of Palestine by Britain, Canada and Australia.

The recognition “corrects a historical mistake that has persisted for many years,” he wrote on the social network X, adding that this step also meets the demands of the people of these countries to support the Palestinians’ right to independence and a dignified life.

“We expect to receive more significant international recognition in the near future,” said A.A. al-Gheit.

Earlier on Sunday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a video message that the UK "formally recognises the State of Palestine" and called for a return to the principle of "two states for two peoples."

Australia recognises the legitimate and long-standing aspirations of the Palestinian people to establish their own state, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong said in a joint statement.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also announced recognition of the State of Palestine. –0–
