Shipping technology developer Sitronics KT has unveiled the Strannik unmanned civilian boat with its own autonomous navigation system to provide logistics on inland waterways.

"Today we had the opportunity to get acquainted with the work of an already well-established enterprise that is engaged in the production of electric vessels. The initial basic customer that gave us a start in life was Moscow. But the current demand from other regions and the conditions provided by the Leningrad Region for the placement of ship production in the city of Otradnoye create good prospects for further development," Denis Manturov noted.

The First Deputy Prime Minister discussed with the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko the possibilities of developing the territory by creating an industrial park specializing in shipbuilding and the production of marine equipment using federal and regional support measures. Enterprises of the industry and suppliers of components are already operating in the district.

Measures to support industrial cluster participants and the possibilities of the industrial mortgage program were also discussed. The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, in cooperation with the regional government, will provide the necessary methodological support to industrial enterprises of the Leningrad Region to participate in the program.

KUNMING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — Foreign ministers of six Lancang-Mekong River countries on Friday agreed to further deepen cooperation in the next decade to ensure peace and prosperity in the region.

At the 10th Foreign Ministers' Meeting on Lancang-Mekong Cooperation held in Anning, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said all parties should strive for an upgraded version of Lancang-Mekong cooperation that is united and cooperative, open and mutually beneficial, green and innovative, and peaceful.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, chaired the meeting jointly with Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangyampongsa. Also attending the meeting were Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhon, Lao Foreign Minister Thongsavan Phomvihan, Myanmar Foreign Minister Thanh Swe and Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son.

Noting the fruitful results of cooperation in the Lancang-Mekong Basin over the past decade since the mechanism was established, Wang Yi said it has entered the fast lane of comprehensive development and has become the most dynamic and promising cooperation mechanism in the region.

In the turbulent and volatile international environment where hegemonism and power politics dominate and unilateralism and protectionism are once again gaining momentum contrary to the trend, China firmly believes that peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit are the aspirations of the people and the prevailing trend, he said.

The Chinese Foreign Minister pointed out that China will continue to adhere to the principles of friendship, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, bringing more benefits to the Lancang-Mekong countries in the process of Chinese-style modernization.

Wang Yi stressed that the six countries should strengthen high-level strategic coordination, improve the cooperation mechanism in the Lancang-Mekong Basin, and expand cooperation in key areas including agriculture, water resources, environmental protection and transportation and connectivity.

He called for accelerating the introduction of scientific and technological achievements into the real economy, as well as creating and improving mechanisms for interaction in areas such as the digital economy, artificial intelligence and scientific and technological innovation.

The countries should promote cooperation in new energy, including energy storage, electric vehicles and photovoltaic power generation, and strengthen cooperation in areas such as customs, metrology, inspection and quarantine supervision to ensure the stability of regional industrial and supply chains and economic integration, Wang said.

In addition, he continued, it is necessary to deepen cooperation in law enforcement, including promoting the establishment of a platform to protect the safety of overseas citizens and jointly combating cross-border crimes such as online gambling, telecommunications fraud, drug production and trafficking.

The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry called for expanding humanitarian exchanges, strengthening cooperation in the field of higher and professional education, increasing the number of citizens of the Lancang-Mekong basin countries coming to China for study and internships, and intensifying cooperation in the field of media and think tanks.

All participants in the meeting highly appreciated the Lancang-Mekong cooperation mechanism for the decade of its existence and expressed gratitude to China for its commitment to good-neighborliness and its leading role in promoting cooperation.

In the current complex international environment, Lancang-Mekong countries should adhere to unity and independence, be open and inclusive, and closely cooperate in all areas, the participants noted.

The parties reaffirmed their commitment to multilateralism, maintaining free trade, combating cross-border crime and jointly confronting challenges to ensure peace, stability and prosperity in the region.

The participants unanimously decided to maintain close communication and thoroughly prepare for the 5th Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Mechanism Leaders' Meeting to plan for the next "golden decade" of cooperation. –0–

Exclusive: The contribution of the Chinese people to the victory over fascism is enormous and without this struggle there would have been no common victory — head of the publishing house “Belarus Today”

MINSK, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — The contribution of the Chinese people to the victory over fascism is enormous and without this struggle there would have been no common victory, Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Belarus Segodnya Publishing House Dmitry Zhuk told Xinhua in Minsk during the opening of a photo exhibition called "Remembering the Past, Creating the Future" in honor of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The exhibition opened in the Victory Hall of the Belarusian State Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War.

D. Zhuk emphasized that this exhibition is stunning in its emotional impact. “There are photographs that make your blood run cold. This is evidence of the inhumane treatment of people that we cannot understand. These photographs show the full horror of war.”

"On the other hand, this exhibition demonstrates the unbroken spirit of the Chinese people, those heroes who defended their land and liberated it from Japanese fascism. This is very much in tune with our Belarusian perception of that anti-fascist war, which is called the Second World War or the World Anti-Fascist War. We sacredly honor the memory of all our veterans who fought on Chinese soil. The connection between the Belarusian and Chinese peoples is very important for the further maintenance of global peace," noted D. Zhuk.

He also noted the invaluable contribution of the Chinese people in the fight against the fascist coalition. “The number of lives that the Chinese people laid on the altar of victory cannot be estimated. It is priceless. The contribution of China, the Chinese people to the victory over fascism is enormous and without this fight there would have been no common victory. It is very important that in 1945 the Soviet and Chinese people fought shoulder to shoulder and won this victory together. For us, this is a very important part of our common history, which we have no right to forget,” D. Zhuk noted.

According to him, when real history is being replaced with fictitious events in order to take away historical memory from Belarusians and Chinese, among others, it is important to fight for its preservation. “It is especially important to preserve the truth in the minds of our young people. And thanks to our combined efforts, I am sure that in the future we will be able to avoid global catastrophes on our planet,” D. Zhuk noted.

The head of the publishing house "Belarus Today" emphasized that war is inhumane by its nature. That is why history, unfortunately, knows such examples as the destruction of Minsk and the Nanjing massacre.

"There were similar cities in other countries, which were essentially wiped off the face of the earth. Moreover, on Belarusian soil, more than 200 settlements were never restored after the war. Life never returned to these villages and towns, this is a huge tragedy. Today, we are trying to carefully pass on this memory. And when we see examples of such terrible atrocities in other countries, we understand that this is not only the history of Belarusians or the Belarusian people, this is a common human history. And we, each in our own country, have even less right to lose the knowledge and memory of these, albeit tragic, but still important for the future pages of our history," D. Zhuk summarized. -0-
