WUHAN, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — A direct flight from Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, to Moscow resumed on Tuesday, boosting exchanges between the two countries.

China Southern Airlines flight CZ8003 took off from Wuhan at around 3pm local time on Tuesday with 271 passengers on board. The flight will operate twice a week on an Airbus A350-900 aircraft, departing Wuhan on Sundays and Tuesdays.

The flight departs Wuhan at 15:10 Beijing time and arrives in Moscow at 19:15 local time. The return flight departs Moscow at 21:15 local time and lands in Wuhan at 10:30 Beijing time the following day.

The service was first launched in July 2014 but was later suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The resumption of the service has been met with enthusiasm, with the seat booking rate for round-trip flights this month at around 80 percent, according to Wang Gang, general manager of China Southern Airlines' Hubei branch.

Earlier, China announced the introduction of a visa-free entry regime for Russian holders of ordinary foreign passports from September 15 of this year to September 14, 2026. Russia, for its part, announced that it would respond in kind to this measure.

Russian Lyudmila Chistyakova just completed a week-long trip to Wuhan. She first traveled from Moscow to Guangzhou and then flew to Wuhan. The Russian was very happy that she could now return directly from Wuhan to Moscow.

L. Chistyakova noted that the visa-free regime introduced by China for Russian citizens makes exchanges between the countries more convenient. –0–

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak paid a working visit to the Syrian Arab Republic. The Deputy Prime Minister held meetings with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani and Head of the Syrian Presidential Administration Maher al-Sharaa.

The parties considered the prospects for interaction between the countries across the entire spectrum of areas of bilateral cooperation.

The Russian side noted the possibility of providing assistance in restoring the energy sector and the humanitarian sphere, including the readiness to launch a number of projects to provide the Syrian Arab Republic with fuel, food, and pharmaceuticals. Cooperation in the cultural, scientific and educational spheres was also discussed. Thus, at the moment, almost 4 thousand Syrians are studying in Russian universities, which can become a good basis for training qualified national personnel.

Alexander Novak proposed resuming the work of the intergovernmental commission on trade and economic cooperation, which has proven itself to be a good instrument for mutual development in the economic sphere.

"Russia and Syria are linked by long-standing ties of friendship and partnership, time-tested, based on mutual respect and consideration of each other's interests. We hope that at the new historical stage they will also develop for the benefit of our peoples.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin held a meeting of the Government Commission on Improving the Efficiency of Federal Property Use and Territorial Development. The key topic was the involvement of inefficiently used land plots and real estate objects in economic circulation.

"The government has set an ambitious task for the effective use of every hectare of federal land. We see that significant amounts of property are still not involved in economic activity. Our goal is not just to transfer assets, but to ensure their real development to create new production facilities, housing and social infrastructure. It is important that each decision of the commission works for the development of regions within the framework of the national project "Infrastructure for Life", including the development of more than 2 thousand key settlements," said Marat Khusnullin.

During the meeting, a report was heard on the progress of implementing the decisions previously adopted by the commission.

In addition, the commission approved decisions on the transfer of a number of federal land plots and real estate objects to the ownership of the subjects, as well as under the management of "DOM.RF" for their subsequent sale. Issues of transferring cultural heritage sites for further restoration, issues of implementing integrated territorial development projects and involving in economic turnover the property transferred to the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District were also considered.

The report of the state company DOM.RF on the performance of the functions of an agent of the Russian Federation in the provision of federal land plots for territorial development was discussed and approved separately.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Nikita Stasishin, General Director of DOM.RF Vitaly Mutko, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund Vasily Kupyzin, Head of the Federal Agency for State Property Management Vadim Yakovenko, as well as other members of the government commission and representatives of the regions.
