Section of the M-5 "Ural" highway, Chelyabinsk region.

Thanks to the federal project "Development of the Federal Network" of the national project "Infrastructure for Life", over 1.8 thousand km of new and renovated federal highways were put into operation in 2025. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

The total length of federal highways is more than 66.4 thousand km, of which 61.4 thousand km are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Road Agency, 5 thousand km are under the trust management of the State Company "Avtodor".

"Federal highways are a significant element of the country's transport framework. They ensure the connectivity of territories, contribute to the increase of cargo flows, the development of transport and logistics corridors, and the improvement of transport accessibility. This year, under the national project "Infrastructure for Life", after repair, construction and reconstruction, over 1.8 thousand km of federal roads have already been put into operation. We are doing a lot of work to form a modern and reliable road and transport infrastructure that connects regions and ensures comfort and safety of movement for many years to come," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to the Presidential Decree on the country's national development goals, by 2030 at least 85% of federal highways should be in good condition.

"In 2025, thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", we plan to commission more than 4.7 thousand km of federal roads, of which 4.6 thousand km – after repair, including major repairs, 151.5 km – after construction and reconstruction. Work is actively continuing to strengthen the country's transport arteries, as well as the creation of seamless logistics corridors. We pay special attention to the development of the international transport corridor "North – South", the goal of which is to improve the efficiency of transportation and strengthen the connection of regions both within the country and with international transport routes," said Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin.

The successful implementation of large-scale road projects and, in many cases, the early completion of construction and installation work is the result of unprecedented support from the President and the Government.

Eastern bypass of Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk region.

"An equally important aspect of the federal network development remains systemic financial support. This year, 567 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for these purposes, which demonstrates serious state support and the importance of this area for the entire transport system of the country. As before, special attention is paid to strict control over the expenditure of funds, the progress of work and compliance with established deadlines. This approach is the key to the effective implementation of the federal project and ensures the fulfillment of all the tasks set before us," emphasized Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

Thus, in the Chelyabinsk region, after reconstruction, a 14-kilometer section of the M-5 "Ural" highway from the 1564th to the 1578th km was put into operation. The road was widened from two to four lanes, a barrier fence was installed and a new surface was laid. This will increase the capacity of the section from 11 thousand to 30 thousand cars per day. In parallel, work continues on other sections of the highway, including the construction of a bypass of the city of Sim, which is planned to be completed in 2026.

In July, the first 12-kilometer section of the first stage of the eastern bypass was opened in Novosibirsk Oblast with four lanes, interchanges and bridges. Work is underway on the remaining part of the stage, in particular on the bridge over the Inya River, which is planned to be completed by the end of September together with the introduction of the next 1.7-kilometer section.

In the Murmansk region, construction of a two-level interchange at the 20th km of the approach to Severomorsk continues; the facility is estimated to be 80% complete. Drilling and blasting operations have already been completed on a complex geological site in the amount of more than 240 thousand cubic meters to remove rock.

Participants of the jubilee, tenth Eastern Economic Forum on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University will be greeted by new objects that form the patriotic and educational space of Russky Island. On the way to the exhibition "Far East Street" the Alley of Glory of the Far East will be opened, dedicated to the heroes of the special military operation, and the main landmark on the campus territory will be a giant Russian tricolor with an area of more than 150 sq. m.

“The Eastern Economic Forum is not only a platform for discussing the most pressing issues of economic and social development, proposals for developing new measures to support business and programs aimed at improving the quality of life. It is a point of public attention. This year, our country celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. We remember the feat of our fathers and grandfathers who shed their blood for the freedom and independence of our country and the whole world, we remember the home front workers who worked around the clock so that our country would defeat the enemy and there would be a peaceful sky above our heads. The memory of battles, heroism and courage is necessary. This is the foundation of the entire Russian state. Russia is currently conducting a special military operation. Our guys on the front lines continue to protect their families, friends, and the country. They need our support. Volunteers are bringing humanitarian aid from the Far Eastern regions. Far Eastern builders are rebuilding Donbass. Far Eastern enterprises produce machinery and equipment that goes to the front. Doctors and teachers are traveling to new regions. “It depends on all of us how quickly we win,” said Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.

The Alley of Fame consists of seven three-dimensional steles dedicated to 53 servicemen of the Eastern Military District who were awarded the "Gold Star" of the Hero of the Russian Federation. On the steles, participants of the EEF will be able to find information about the feats accomplished by Far Eastern soldiers. Detailed stories of the heroes will be published in a special section on the university's website. The official opening of the Alley of Fame will take place during the forum.

"The Alley is located on the way from the venue of the business part of the EEF to the "Far East Street", so most of the guests will have the opportunity to learn about the exploits of the Far Eastern heroes. And after the forum, the Alley of Glory will become an integral part of the educational process for first-year students – open classes on patriotic education and a course on the fundamentals of Russian statehood will be held here," said FEFU Rector Boris Korobets.

The dominant feature of the FEFU campus will be the Russian national flag – one of the largest in the Far East. The tricolor can be seen from the Russian Bridge, from the mainland part of the city and the water area of Vladivostok – it will become not only one of the main symbols of the FEFU campus, but also an iconic landmark of the city.

Let us recall that the landscaped park area of the FEFU campus includes an island of untouched nature in the middle of one of the most modern student campuses in Russia. The forested coastal taiga has been preserved here, there are ponds with wild ducks and a picturesque waterfall. The main attraction of the park is the University Embankment, 1200 m long along the Ajax Bay, where pavilions of all regions of the Far Eastern Federal District are located – the exhibition "Far East Street". Work on the improvement of the FEFU campus for the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum is in the final stage, they will be fully completed by August 25.

The 10th Eastern Economic Forum will be held on September 3–6 in Vladivostok on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University. The main theme of this year’s event is “The Far East: Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity.” The organizer of the EEF is the Roscongress Foundation.

BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — Accordions made in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are planned to be exported to Kazakhstan, Belarus and other countries, according to the opening ceremony of the accordion studio of the China Musical Instrument Society in Tacheng, local media reported.

Tarbagatai accordions will be exported through the Baktu checkpoint on the Chinese-Kazakh border. Tarbagatai has established the assembly of this musical instrument with the involvement of international suppliers of parts and components, and has become the first locally assembled accordion manufacturer in Xinjiang. In Tacheng, Tarbagatai accordions are already perceived as a major achievement in using cultural resources to promote industrial development.

According to Song Yalong, head of the city's cultural and tourism bureau, Tacheng's accordion culture has made the transition from a local phenomenon to an international brand. The most important events in this process were the first accordion festival with a record number of performers – more than one thousand people in 2016, getting into the Shanghai Great World Guinness Book of Records, and the participation of performers from countries along the Belt and Road and other foreign countries in the 2024 festival. And in 2025, Tacheng and its accordion culture were glorified by 5,282 accordion lovers, who set a new record with their collective performance, officially registered by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records. It is noteworthy that about a thousand of them played the accordion of the Tarbagatai brand.

In the first half of this year, Tacheng received about 3 million tourists, and accordion culture is considered an important factor and driver of tourist growth.

As noted, the new studio, as a platform for interaction between performers and accordion manufacturers, will contribute to the further popularization, preservation and development of the art of playing this musical instrument. -0-

ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — A readers' forum dedicated to Xi Jinping's book "On Respecting and Ensuring Human Rights" was held here on Thursday.

Speaking at the forum, Jiang Jianguo, a member of the Bureau of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), vice-chairman of the Ethnicity and Religious Affairs Commission of the CPPCC National Committee, and executive vice-chairman of the China Society for the Study of Human Rights, noted that the book has been published in 13 foreign languages and has attracted readers from all over the world, working in the fields of human rights, politics, academic research, as well as in the media and think tanks.

"From this book, readers can learn about Xi Jinping's deep concern for the people and how the leader of a major party and a major country views the world," he said. Readers can also gain insight into the CPC's century-long commitment to respecting and ensuring human rights, as well as China's independent path in advancing human rights, Jiang Jianguo said, expressing hope that the book will serve as a useful guide for African countries in advancing modernization and improving governance for human rights and people's well-being.

Chinese Ambassador to Ethiopia Chen Hai stressed that both China and Africa emphasize a people-centered approach and a path of human rights that suits national conditions, while opposing the politicization of human rights issues.

China and Ethiopia have played an exemplary role in China-Africa exchanges and cooperation on human rights, he said. China-Africa exchanges and cooperation on human rights will not only advance the cause of human rights in China and Africa, but also contribute to strengthening the China-Africa community with a shared future and promoting human progress, the diplomat added.

In turn, Liberia's Deputy Foreign Minister Jeddy Mowbray Armah said that each country, based on its own history, culture and stage of development, must choose a path that suits its national circumstances, while maintaining a common aspiration for dignity, justice and equality. This concept resonates deeply with the states of the Global South, the official added.

The event was attended by about 150 representatives of African political and academic circles, media and students. –0–
