XI'AN, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — The China-Europe Freight Train Index, jointly developed by the dry port branch of the China Association of Development Zones and the China Economic Information Service, was officially launched in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, on Tuesday.

The launch of this index is a key feature of the conference on the development of China's dry ports and logistics hubs, held in Xi'an as part of the 2025 Eurasian Economic Forum. It marks the entry of China-Europe freight trains into a new stage of digital assessment and high-quality development.

According to the Xinhua Index Institute under the China Economic Information Service, the new index systematically evaluates the role of China-Europe freight trains in improving logistics efficiency, promoting regional coordination and enhancing supply chain resilience, and characterizes the current status and development potential of such trains in terms of transportation scale, operational efficiency, trade quality and service level.

To date, the total number of China-Europe freight train departures has exceeded 110,000, and their development has gradually entered a key transition period of quality improvement. The China-Europe Freight Train Index can provide the industry with a "digital ruler" to measure its development and facilitate optimal resource allocation.

"We will deeply explore the intrinsic value of China-Europe trains, gradually establish an index matrix system and index ecology, strive to turn the index into a benchmark for digital management of international logistics, and strive to provide key data for the development of international land transport regulations and standards," the Xinhua Index Institute noted.

Wang Lei, Vice Chairman of the China Association of Development Zones, noted that the China-Europe Train Index, focusing on the number, frequency, and growth rate of China-Europe trains, quantitatively demonstrates the performance of dry ports in areas such as improving the channel's promotional functions and strengthening industrial coordination.

“This index can not only provide domestic dry ports with scientifically based data and decision-making basis, but also contribute to improving logistics efficiency, industrial upgrading, and optimizing the placement of dry ports in the region,” Wang Lei added. -0-

A home veterinary kit should always include a wound care kit. Sterile bandages, wipes, cotton pads, swabs, adhesive tape, and a self-adhesive veterinary bandage should be on hand in case your pet gets scratched or injured.

It's important to remember that not all medications designed for humans are suitable for animals. For example, iodine or brilliant green should not be used to treat pet wounds, as they can cause chemical burns. Instead, chlorhexidine and miramistin should be included in the first aid kit. Regular saline solution can also be used to clean wounds, damaged skin, and mucous membranes. It doesn't sting or cause irritation.

Basic drugs

These include sorbents to help with poisoning, nausea, and diarrhea; laxatives for constipation; and a rehydrating solution to prevent dehydration.

Antihistamines are needed for immediate relief of allergic reactions, painkillers for acute pain, and antispasmodics can help with smooth muscle spasms. To ensure the safety of your pet, consult a veterinarian before prescribing medications and determining their dosage. Dosage is calculated individually for each animal.

Protection against parasites

A pet's first aid kit should also include medications for regular treatment of worms, fleas, and ticks. Anthelmintics for worm prevention should be given to cats and dogs once every three months, and tick treatment should be administered monthly during the parasite season (March to November). A veterinarian can help you choose the right medications.

Any antiparasitic and insecticidal agents intended for humans should not be given to animals.

Useful devices

A pet's personal thermometer (preferably digital) is a must-have in your veterinary kit. It's safer than mercury and unbreakable. Pets' temperatures are measured rectally, and the device should be cleaned and treated with an antiseptic after use.

A tick remover (a special fork for gently removing ticks) and a pill dispenser are two more useful veterinary tools worth having in your first aid kit. The latter is useful if administering medication to your pet is difficult.

You can consult with a veterinarian about the contents of your home medicine cabinet during an appointment at any of the capital's 25 state-run veterinary clinics. You can schedule an appointment with a specialist on mos.ru using the super service. My Pet or by calling the State Veterinary Service contact center: 7 495 612-12-12 (24 hours).

Washington, September 23 (Xinhua) – Kyiv, with the support of Europe and NATO, is capable of "fighting and returning all of Ukraine to its original state," US President Donald Trump expressed this opinion on the social media platform TruthSocial on Tuesday.

These words signal a sharp shift in the White House's position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump had previously spent months insisting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy make concessions to secure a ceasefire with Russia, claiming that Kyiv had "no bargaining chips" in the negotiations.

“After I have learned and fully understood the military and economic situation of Ukraine and Russia, and after I have seen the economic problems it is creating for Russia, I believe that Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is capable of fighting and returning all of Ukraine to its original state,” the head of the White House wrote.

“With time, patience, and financial support from Europe, and NATO in particular, a return to the original borders where this war began is entirely possible,” Trump noted.

"We will continue to supply weapons to NATO so that NATO can do with them what it wants," he said.

During a meeting with V. Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York earlier on Tuesday, D. Trump told reporters that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace.

In a letter dated Saturday and addressed to the President of the UN Security Council, Estonia reported that three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered the country's airspace on Friday at a distance of up to 10 km and remained there for 12 minutes.

Russia's First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, rejected this statement and accused European states of Russophobia.

China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Geng Shuang, stressed on Monday that China calls on relevant parties to maintain calm and exercise restraint, clarify facts and dispel doubts through dialogue and communication, avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments, and prevent the situation from expanding or escalating.
