Tehran, October 5 (Xinhua) — The recent agreement to resume cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) can no longer serve as the basis for bilateral cooperation, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated at a press conference.

He noted that the snapback mechanism had "changed the circumstances," according to the Iranian Student News Agency (ISNA), adding, "We are facing a new situation."

In September, Iran and the IAEA reached an agreement in Cairo on a new framework for cooperation. The agreement followed Tehran's suspension of cooperation with the IAEA in late June following Israeli-American strikes on its nuclear facilities and the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists. According to the agreement, any IAEA inspections were to be approved by Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

“The Cairo Agreement can no longer serve as the basis for our cooperation with the agency,” A. Araghchi emphasized.

He said there were no "justifiable" reasons for using the snapback mechanism and warned that it would only complicate negotiations and hinder diplomatic efforts.

He also noted that Iran has proven in practice that it does not seek to develop nuclear weapons, does not seek conflict, and does not want to escalate tensions, reiterating that diplomacy remains the only viable way to resolve the nuclear issue.

In August, the EU3 countries (the UK, France, and Germany) activated the snapback mechanism, which led to the reimposition of UN sanctions after the Security Council failed to extend the sanctions relief regime in September. –0–

SHANGHAI, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) — In exactly one month, the eastern Chinese metropolis of Shanghai will once again step onto the global stage with the China International Import Expo (CIIE), underscoring China's commitment to further opening up to the outside world and sharing development opportunities with the rest of the world.

The CIIE, first held in 2018, opened a new chapter in the history of global trade. Since then, the expo has consistently expanded its scope and improved its effectiveness.

As the world's first national-level import-focused expo, the CIIE has showcased nearly 3,000 new products, technologies and services over the past seven years, with the transaction volume of IOUs for goods and services exceeding US$500 billion during the year.

Against the backdrop of growing instability and uncertainty in the global economy and trade, holding the 8th CIIE is of particular significance, said Wu Zhengping, Deputy Director-General of the CIIE Bureau.

GLOBAL MEETING

Dozens of countries and international organizations have confirmed their participation in the upcoming event's comprehensive national exhibitions, with Kyrgyzstan joining for the first time. More than 3,200 enterprises from over 110 countries and regions have signed up to participate in the business event, which covers 360,000 square meters of exhibition space.

Preparations for the exhibition are in full swing. The first batch of exhibits, comprising 279 items from Germany, arrived in Shanghai on September 26, including many debutants on both a global and regional scale. In addition, cargoes from New Zealand and the South Pacific island nations, such as dairy products and coconut oil, are also heading to Shanghai.

Theland Asia Pacific Region General Manager Sheng Wenhao noted that over the past eight years, CIIE has not only witnessed but also facilitated the company's development, enabling it to establish partnerships with dozens of professional buyers and expand its reach to more than 5,000 retail outlets in 25 provincial-level regions in China.

Despite growing global uncertainty, the CIIE continues to serve as a bridge, enabling everyone to access development opportunities and enabling countries in the Global South and least developed countries to access new markets and expand trade links.

For the first time, this year's CIIE will set aside a special exhibition area for products from least developed countries that have established diplomatic relations with China, to help their enterprises fully utilize the zero-tariff policy and tap into China's vast market.

OPPORTUNITIES ON THE BIG STAGE

Innovation will be a key highlight of the exhibition, as leading companies and enterprises will showcase their latest products, confirming CIIE's status as a showcase for the world's most advanced technologies.

German healthcare and agribusiness giant Bayer, a regular participant at CIIE, will showcase its products in two 800-square-meter sections. Bayer will showcase 25 exhibits, five of which will be unveiled globally, ten will be making their Chinese debut, and ten will be debuting at CIIE.

“We will continue to invest in China, accelerate investment, and work hand in hand with industry partners to grow together and share China’s development opportunities,” said Antia Zhang, vice president of public affairs for Bayer Group Greater China.

Siemens Mobility Greater China CEO Jürgen Model said the company will present its integrated digital solutions platform and digital maintenance solution for rail vehicles, focusing on innovative artificial intelligence applications in the field of intelligent maintenance and lifecycle management of railway signaling systems and rail vehicles.

“For Siemens Mobility, the China International Import Expo has become an invaluable platform for showcasing our latest innovations and identifying new opportunities to collaborate with our partners to create solutions that meet the specific needs of the Chinese market,” Yu Model told Xinhua News Agency.

This year, the exhibition also provides small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from around the world with the opportunity to shine on the big stage. More than 80 international business associations from over 50 countries and regions will be representing over 1,500 SMEs at the CIIE.

Dorothy Tembo, Deputy Executive Director of the International Trade Centre, explained that in recent years, SMEs from Africa, Asia, and Latin America have brought a wide variety of products to the exhibition—from Ethiopian coffee and Rwandan chili peppers to Nepalese cashmere. Thanks to their participation, many of these products have now become favorites among Chinese consumers, she noted.

“We look forward to seeing this same magic in action at CIIE 2025, and the excitement won’t stop there,” added D. Tembo. -0-

BEIJING, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) — As of September 28, the volume of small-scale trade between residents of the Chinese-Russian border areas in Manzhouli City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, north China, since the beginning of 2025 exceeded 200 million yuan (approximately 28 million U.S. dollars), a year-on-year increase of 432.46 percent. This figure has reached a new high in the city's history, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Manzhouli City Hall.

The report notes that residents of border areas, through special cooperatives, share resources and collaborate on joint activities, jointly developing sources of imported goods and expanding their distribution channels within the country. Border cooperatives collaborate with processing plants to process and transform imported goods locally, thereby expanding the production chain, increasing incomes for border residents, and enhancing the stimulating effect of mutual trade between border residents on the development of local industry.

According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, more than 26,000 border residents in Manzhouli have directly benefited from small-scale cross-border trade, and their participation and sense of achievement continue to grow, while the impact of this form of trade on ensuring the stable development of border areas and increasing the income of their residents is becoming increasingly noticeable.

In the future, the Manzhouli Border Residents' Mutual Trade Zone will continue to focus on improving the application process, promoting the growth of border residents' benefit from this form of trade, encouraging border residents' cooperatives to continuously expand their business scopes and deepen their links with the domestic and international markets, so as to promote border residents' mutual trade to a higher level of development. -0-

Pyongyang, October 5 (Xinhua) — Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) called for a steady increase in the country's military capabilities in response to national security threats at the opening ceremony of a military equipment exhibition on Saturday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Sunday.

Speaking at the "National Defense Development 2025" exhibition, Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, noted that the exhibition showcases the latest results of important projects aimed at modernizing the country's defense capabilities, which are based on nuclear deterrence.

He emphasized that the country must not allow its defense progress to slow down under any circumstances. "Our military capabilities must constantly improve," Kim Jong-un stated.

He said the various types of exercises conducted by the United States under the so-called nuclear operational guidelines pose a "real and serious threat to the security of our country and other states in the region."

The DPRK is closely monitoring US actions, including the deployment of strategic strike and reconnaissance assets on and around the Korean Peninsula, as well as their mobilization for hostile military actions, the leader noted, adding that the country has already taken "concrete measures."

“If the United States continues to take dangerous steps to build up its military power while ignoring the security concerns of countries in the region, such actions will only encourage us to implement relevant military and technological measures with even greater determination to address new threats and maintain the balance of power,” Kim Jong Un said. –0–
