UN, September 26 /Xinhua/ — Fairness and justice are the most important values of the international community, Chinese Premier Li Qiang stated at the UN on Friday.

Li Qiang made the statement during his speech at the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

Noting that peace and development are the most ardent common aspirations of people of all countries, the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China emphasized that unity and cooperation are the most powerful source of strength for the progress of mankind.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations, Li Qiang recalled, adding that some valuable lessons can be learned from history.

He stressed that China, as one of the founding countries of the UN, has always actively participated in international affairs and worked for the benefit of humanity.

Li Qiang pointed out that in recent years, Chinese President Xi Jinping has proposed the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, and also put forward the Initiative on Global Development, the Initiative on Global Security, the Initiative on Global Civilization, and the Initiative on Global Governance, sharing Chinese wisdom and solutions for overcoming transition processes and current challenges.

In particular, the Global Governance Initiative, proposed at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin earlier this month, emphasizes the principles of sovereign equality, respect for international law, commitment to multilateralism, a people-centered approach, and a focus on practical action, the Chinese Premier emphasized. This initiative, he continued, opens an important path toward the formation of a more equitable and rational system of global governance.

Li Qiang said China is willing to work with all parties to take coordinated and effective measures to solve practical problems and promote world peace and development.

The world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, the Chinese Premier noted, emphasizing that unilateralism and the Cold War mentality are once again taking revenge, seriously undermining international norms and order and destabilizing the global governance system.

In the context of the turbulent and volatile international situation, Li Qiang called on all parties to build peace and ensure common security.

Amid a sluggish global economic recovery, the Chinese Premier called for a revival of cooperation and the search for mutually beneficial outcomes.

Noting the interaction and development of diverse civilizations, Li Qiang called for maintaining dialogue and mutual learning. In responding to new challenges, he added, it is necessary to make joint efforts to protect the common home of humanity.

He assured that China will always remain a staunch defender of world peace and security, an important promoter of global common development, an active practitioner of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and a responsible participant in responding to global challenges.

The Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China emphasized China's readiness to work with all countries to uphold the goals and principles of the UN Charter, promote the spirit of multilateralism, actively implement the four key global initiatives, and jointly move toward the lofty goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Moscow, September 26 (Xinhua) — The opening ceremony of the photo exhibition "In the Struggle for National Liberation and World Peace" was held at the Victory Museum in Moscow on Friday. The exhibition was organized by the Memorial Museum of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Victory Museum.

The exhibition features approximately 120 historical photographs that chronicle the 14-year history of the Chinese people's heroic resistance to Japanese aggression in the main theater of World War II, Asia. The exhibition highlights the important role of the Chinese front in the large-scale anti-fascist struggle and China's contribution to the Allied victory, culminating in Japan's unconditional surrender and the end of World War II.

Minister-Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Russia, Zhao Wei, addressed the ceremony and noted that the Chinese people's victory over the Japanese militarist invaders in a bloody 14-year struggle marked the complete victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. This marked a significant turning point in global development. "This photo exhibition, showcasing valuable historical materials, is of great significance and is another achievement of the China-Russia Year of Culture," the Chinese diplomat said.

"The peoples of the Soviet Union and China bore the brunt of fascism and Japanese militarism. Our peoples endured the most terrible trials and suffered the heaviest human and material losses," noted Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexander Kozlov at the ceremony, adding that the foundation of modern Russian-Chinese relations was laid during those harsh trials of the war years, which revealed the best traditions of friendship and mutual assistance between the Russian and Chinese peoples.

"Today, we commemorate the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War not to perpetuate hatred, but to draw wisdom and strength from the profound lessons of World War II and the great victory in the anti-fascist war, and to jointly create a better future for humanity," said Luo Qunkang, Director of the Memorial Museum of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. He also noted that this exhibition not only tells the Russian people about the heroic resistance of the Chinese people against Japanese aggression but also demonstrates the unbreakable friendship between the Chinese and Russian peoples.

"This exhibition is more than just a collection of archival materials, but a living testimony to the 14-year heroic struggle of the Chinese people against Japanese aggression. Historical photographs and images of museum relics, with documentary accuracy and emotional depth, reveal the resistance in the Asian theater of war, which played a major role in the overall anti-fascist struggle. This project is a tribute to the resilience of the Chinese people," said Anna Kanshina, Deputy General Director of the Victory Museum.

Also present at the opening ceremony were students specializing in Chinese studies from the Higher School of Economics, Moscow State Linguistic University, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, and Russian State University for the Humanities. Following the opening ceremony of the photography exhibition, the Victory Museum screened the Chinese film "The Photographer of Nanjing," based on true events during the Nanjing Massacre of 1937.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko attended the ceremonial opening of a Buddhist Sunday school. It will operate at the renovated Kalmyk National Gymnasium in Elista.

"Today is a wonderful, historic day. A Buddhist school is opening at the Kalmykia National Gymnasium, which was renovated thanks to the "Youth and Children" national project, offering supplementary education. Under wise leadership, it will combine secular and spiritual education. The values of Buddhism largely align with those enshrined in President Vladimir Putin's Decree No. 809. It is in Kalmykia, where representatives and peoples of different faiths have lived in friendship for centuries, that children will receive precisely this kind of proper education and be instilled with kindness, compassion, love for one's neighbor, and love for one's homeland—all of which distinguish our Russia," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister wished all the students success in their studies. He expressed confidence that the opportunities opened up in the country by the national projects established at the President's behest will be realized at the highest level.

"We are fulfilling the instructions and guidance of our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and are contributing to the development of Buddhist education. We are working to ensure that secular and Buddhist approaches to education unite, bringing goodness and knowledge, and opening the way to harmony. This is the enormous work of our fellow countrymen and those who have come from other regions. They understand that they are serving a special and very important mission," said Batu Khasikov, Head of the Republic of Kalmykia.

Classes at the Buddhist school are taught personally by the Shajin Lama of Kalmykia, Geshe Tenzin Choydak. He will introduce young students to key concepts of Buddhism. The curriculum includes the study of Buddhist logic. A separate course is devoted to the Old Kalmyk script, "Todo Bichig."

The Deputy Prime Minister attended a celebratory performance by the school's students, toured the school's themed museum exhibit dedicated to the history of Buddhism, and left a symbolic wish for prosperity and success for future generations on the school tree.

Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the infrastructure of the first phygital center in the Southern Federal District. The center opened in September 2024 as part of the federal project "Business Sprint." Since then, more than 50 phygital and eSports events have been held, and over the past year, over 12,000 people have participated in the center's events.

At the B.B. Gorodovikov Youth Center, which was renovated in 2024, the Deputy Prime Minister met with activists of youth projects and programs, volunteers, members of the "Movement of the First," and representatives of the "Voin" center. The facility, which covers over 1,200 square meters, houses the Republican Youth Center, the regional headquarters of the "Movement of the First," the "Khamdan" association, and a branch of the "Volunteers of Victory."

Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked the volunteers who assist the SVO participants and participate in organizing and holding the International Buddhist Forum. He was also shown the office-museum of Hero of the Soviet Union Basan Gorodovikov, after whom the center is named.

Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the progress of the reconstruction of the republic's multifunctional youth center, which is being carried out as part of the all-Russian "Region for the Young" program. It will house a branch of the "Movement of the First," creative clubs, and patriotic associations. Plans include creating exhibition spaces and preserving the chess museum named after world chess champion Mikhail Tal.
