BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — The 3rd Shaanxi Congress of Chinese Traditional Martial Arts (Wushu) Masters concluded on Wednesday at the Sports Hall of the Huayin City Culture and Sports Center in northwest China's Shaanxi Province. More than 1,700 wushu enthusiasts from various countries and regions, including China, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Brunei, participated in the five-day event, according to chinanews.com.cn.

This event is the largest and most significant public wushu competition in Shaanxi Province. In addition to demonstrations of martial arts routines, both with and without weapons, this year's congress featured a "wushu carnival," during which masters of this martial art from Russia and Kazakhstan not only performed on stage with their Chinese counterparts but also had the opportunity to sample Shaanxi cuisine and watch performances dedicated to intangible cultural heritage. The carnival helped the international participants deepen their understanding of Shaanxi's cultural traditions.

The current congress attracted wushu enthusiasts from all age groups, which fully demonstrates its role in popularizing and spreading wushu.

The organizers of the congress stated that the event played a role in connecting tradition and modernity, as well as strengthening China's interaction with the outside world, and its successful holding not only demonstrated Shaanxi Province's achievements in the development of wushu, but also became a concrete practice for promoting magnificent traditional Chinese culture. -0-

Vienna, October 16 (Xinhua) — Repairs to restore external power supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) are expected to begin soon, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi announced on Wednesday.

On September 23, Zaporizhzhya NPP was cut off from external power for the tenth time due to damage to the only remaining high-voltage line amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Both sides blamed the damage on military action.

R. Grossi said the IAEA is working closely with both sides to help technicians carry out repairs that are critical to nuclear safety.

According to him, the current situation is unsustainable. Both Russia and Ukraine want the repairs to continue, he added.

The IAEA team working at the Zaporizhzhya NPP reported that nuclear safety was ensured and radiation levels at the facility were within normal limits.

Budapest, October 16 (Xinhua) — Russian natural gas supplies to Hungary have reached a new record this year, exceeding 6 billion cubic meters to date. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó announced this on social media on Wednesday.

According to him, the volume of fuel supplied is more than 21 million cubic meters per day and is “critically important for Hungary’s energy security.”

P. Szijjártó reiterated that Hungary supports the diversification of energy resources through the use of different sources and routes, but it opposes the closure of “well-functioning and reliable supply lines.”

The European Union is promoting a strategy to gradually wean itself off dependence on Russian energy. In June, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal to phase out imports of Russian gas and oil by the end of 2027.

Hungary and Slovakia have expressed serious doubts about the plan, warning that rapid cuts could threaten their energy security and economic stability.
