WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump has instructed his team to develop a framework of security guarantees that will help ensure lasting peace in Ukraine, White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said on Tuesday.

Preparations for a possible meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky are in full swing, and both sides have expressed their readiness for talks, she said at a press briefing.

In an interview with Fox News earlier on Tuesday, Trump said the United States would not send troops into Ukraine, but indicated the United States could help in other ways, including by providing air support.

He once again categorically ruled out the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO.

While security guarantees remain a key demand of Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry said it rejected any scenario that would involve the deployment of NATO troops on Ukrainian territory, warning that such a move could trigger an uncontrolled escalation with unpredictable consequences.

On Monday, D. Trump met at the White House with the visiting president of Ukraine and seven European leaders to discuss ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The talks followed a meeting between US and Russian leaders in the US state of Alaska on Friday where progress was reported but no agreement was reached. –0–

Many thanks to the government of Fuyuan city and the Ministry of Education and Science of Khabarovsk Krai for the opportunity provided," shared her impressions member of the Russian delegation Svetlana.

Another member of the delegation, Ivan, noted that he was happy to visit the cranberry plantation and taste cranberry juice and dried berries. He even bought some to take with him to treat his relatives.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — The U.S. state of Tennessee said Tuesday it was sending about 160 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., after U.S. President Donald Trump said crime and homelessness in the capital were out of control.

The latest developments come about a week after Trump declared a state of emergency in the US capital on August 11 to combat crime and sent about 800 D.C. National Guard troops there.

Over the weekend, Republican governors in West Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina pledged to send National Guard troops to the nation's capital. Mississippi and Louisiana made similar announcements on Monday.

Troops from the Republican-led state of Tennessee are expected to arrive by the end of this week, bringing the total number of National Guard troops in D.C. to about 2,000 by then.

The moves have drawn criticism from Democrats. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, also chair of the Democratic Governors Association, on Tuesday called on her colleagues “in Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and every other state to resist the temptation to use their troops to further a dangerous, politically motivated agenda.”

She said deploying National Guard troops to another jurisdiction “without the request and consent of that state’s governor — or, in this case, local Washington, D.C., officials — undermines the mission of the National Guard, wastes resources needed for real emergencies, and, perhaps worst of all, deepens the divisions that already threaten our United States.” –0–

NEW DELHI, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in New Delhi on Tuesday with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee.

N. Modi noted that India and China are ancient civilizations with a long history of friendly exchanges, and the meeting of the leaders of the two countries in Kazan, Russia, in October 2024 became a turning point in improving and developing bilateral relations.

The Indian Prime Minister noted that India and China are partners, not rivals, face the common task of achieving accelerated development and should enhance exchanges, improve mutual understanding and expand cooperation, which will allow the world to experience the huge potential and bright prospects of India-China cooperation.

The parties must also properly manage and resolve border issues to prevent differences from escalating into disputes, he said.

As N. Modi reminded, this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and China, and both countries should view interstate ties in the long term. He pointed out that the advent of the "Asian century" is also inextricably linked with Indian-Chinese cooperation, and the two countries need to join efforts for the benefit of global development and the well-being of all mankind.

N. Modi also said that he is looking forward to his visit to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin.

Wang Yi, for his part, welcomed N. Modi's participation in the upcoming summit, noting that the leaders of both countries reached an important consensus during their meeting in Kazan. The parties are implementing this consensus, contributing to the entry of bilateral relations into a new stage of improvement and development, the Chinese diplomat stated.

Calling his visit to India a preparation for high-level contacts between the two countries, Wang said that during his trip, China and India reached agreement on resuming dialogue mechanisms in various fields, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation, maintaining commitment to multilateralism, jointly responding to global challenges and opposing unilateral bullying.

Touching upon border issues, the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry noted that the two sides have reached a new consensus on implementing regular management and control, maintaining peace and tranquility in border areas, properly handling sensitive issues, and starting negotiations on demarcation of areas where the necessary conditions exist.

Wang Yi noted that bilateral relations have experienced ups and downs, and the lessons learned from these should be remembered. According to him, regardless of the current situation, the parties should maintain the correct positioning of each other as partners, not as rivals, adhere to the principle of properly managing differences, so that border disputes do not affect the overall situation in interstate relations.

Wang Yi noted that in the current international situation, the strategic significance of China-India relations has become increasingly obvious, and the strategic value of China-India cooperation has become increasingly visible. The Chinese Foreign Minister added that the two sides will faithfully implement the agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and promote the stable and long-term development of China-India relations so as to bring more benefits to the peoples of both countries. –0–

The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry noted that since the beginning of this year, bilateral relations have entered the path of stable development, and the situation on the border has continued to stabilize and improve.

According to him, China and India, as two large neighboring and developing countries, share similar views and have a wide range of common interests. They should trust each other and provide mutual support, Wang Yi added.

The Chinese side attaches great importance to the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin and expects India to actively contribute to the successful holding of this summit, Wang Yi said.

As the Chinese diplomat stressed, history and reality have repeatedly proven that the healthy and stable development of China-India relations meets the fundamental interests of the peoples of both countries, and is also the common aspiration of a wide range of developing countries.

Wang Yi pointed out that both sides should follow the strategic guidance of their leaders and adhere to the approach of handling bilateral relations and boundary issues in two parallel tracks, mutually promoting each other and forming a positive cycle.

The Chinese Foreign Minister added that the two sides should strengthen mutual trust through dialogue and communication, expand exchanges and cooperation, and jointly accumulate consensus, clearly define directions and set goals in areas such as boundary management, demarcation negotiations and cross-border exchanges, so as to properly handle specific issues, achieve greater positive progress and continuously create favorable conditions for the improvement and development of bilateral relations.

A. Doval, for his part, said that the meeting of the leaders of the two countries in Kazan was a turning point in improving and developing Indian-Chinese relations. According to him, there have been positive changes in the mutual perception of the parties, peace and tranquility have been ensured in the border areas and a breakthrough has been achieved in interstate relations.

In a turbulent and volatile international environment, he continued, India and China are facing a number of common challenges. There is a need to strengthen mutual understanding, deepen trust and enhance cooperation, as this is related to the well-being of the peoples of the two countries and also affects the peaceful development of the world, Doval added.

The Indian side consistently adheres to the one-China principle, he assured.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and China, the Special Representative recalled, noting that Prime Minister N. Modi is looking forward to attending the SCO summit in China, hoping that this will contribute to a new development of bilateral relations.

India supports China, as the current chair of the SCO, in successfully holding the summit of the organisation, he said.

A. Doval added that the Indian side is ready to maintain communication and dialogue with the Chinese side in a positive and pragmatic manner, continuously accumulating conditions for the final settlement of the border issue.

During the meeting, the two sides exchanged views on the initial results of the talks on the border issue, reaffirming their commitment to fully utilize the role of the special representatives' meeting mechanism and to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution to the border issues in accordance with the political guidelines established in 2005.

The two sides also agreed to strengthen routine management and control in border areas, jointly maintain peace and tranquility along the border, and hold the 25th meeting of China-India special representatives on border issues in China next year. –0–
