BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — In the first seven months of this year, financial institutions in the Chinese part of the China-Kazakhstan International Cross-Border Cooperation Center (ICBC) "Khorgos", located in the city of the same name in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR), reported the cross-border movement of 38 batches of cash, including 471 million yuan and 450 million tenge, the Xinjiang Daily newspaper reported, citing data from customs services of the ICBC "Khorgos".

According to the data, both indicators increased 44 and 7.5 times year-on-year, respectively.

The significant increase in the amount of cash transferred was due to the growing flow of visitors to the above-mentioned center and the subsequent consumer boom, the customs emphasized. According to previously published data, as of August 3, the flow of visitors to the Khorgos ICBC this year exceeded the mark of 6 million people-times, increasing by 66 percent year-on-year and reaching a historical maximum for the same period of previous years.

The cross-border cash exchange effectively meets the needs of Chinese and Kazakh enterprises and residents for foreign exchange and payments in local currencies in cross-border trade, as well as tourism and shopping, the customs control service of the Khorgos ICBC reported.

The first time that cash tenge was exchanged in China was in the center in 2018.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that a meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine is not a prerequisite for his face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This will be the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders during Trump's second term.

Asked by a reporter at the White House on Thursday afternoon whether Vladimir Putin should meet with the Ukrainian president before sitting down at the negotiating table with Donald Trump, the US president answered in the negative.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said shortly before Trump's speech in the Oval Office that "the Russians have expressed a desire to meet with President Trump, and the President is open to that meeting."

“President Trump would like to meet with both President Putin and President Zelensky because he wants to see this brutal war end,” she said, adding that the White House “is working out the details of these potential meetings and the details will be provided at the appropriate time.”

Earlier on Thursday, the Kremlin said that a meeting between D. Trump and V. Putin had been agreed upon in principle and would take place “in the coming days.” –0–

TEHRAN, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called for an extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) over the ongoing humanitarian "catastrophe" in the Gaza Strip, the country's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

According to the department’s statement, the meeting should discuss issues of coordinating the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, adopting a unified position and practical measures to stop “Israeli aggression,” as well as the importance of protecting the rights of the Palestinian people.

"What is happening /in Gaza/ is not just a humanitarian crisis, but a systematic destruction of a civilian population under siege. The scale and gravity of the crimes committed require immediate and coordinated measures," A. Araghchi noted.

Iran's foreign minister has called the situation in Gaza "genocide" and accused Israel of having a "strategic and illegal intention" to reoccupy and fully annex the enclave.

At least 9,752 Palestinians have been killed and 40,004 wounded since Israel resumed intensified military operations in the Palestinian enclave on March 18, Gaza-based health authorities said Thursday, bringing the total number of Gaza deaths since October 2023 to 61,258 and the wounded to 152,045. –0–

JERUSALEM, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — Israel's security cabinet has approved a plan to take control of Gaza City, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Friday.

Israel intends to take control of all of Gaza to ensure its security and rid the city of Hamas, B. Netanyahu said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday before a meeting of the security cabinet.

"We don't want to keep it [Gaza – Xinhua] for ourselves. We want to have a security perimeter. We want to hand it over to Arab forces that will manage it properly, without threatening us and providing a good life for the locals," he said.

In response, Hamas said it considered Netanyahu's statements "a clear reversal of the course of negotiations, revealing the true motives for his withdrawal from the last round."

At least 9,752 Palestinians have been killed and more than 40,000 wounded since March 18, when Israel resumed intensive strikes on the Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll since October 2023 to 61,258 and the number of injured to 152,045, the enclave's health authorities said Thursday. –0–

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — Less than 17 percent of the $46 billion needed to meet global humanitarian needs in 2025 has been received so far, Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General Farhan Haq said at a daily briefing on Thursday.

“More than half a year has passed, and the situation with funding for humanitarian activities remains deplorable,” said F. Haq, citing data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

According to him, the amount of funding received to date is 40 percent less than for the same period last year.

The funding shortfall is a stark reminder that millions of vulnerable people will go hungry without the assistance they urgently need, the UN official added.

He noted that in June, faced with the largest funding cuts in the history of the international humanitarian system, OCHA launched a global appeal to help 114 million people, focusing on the most urgent needs as part of the broader 2025 Global Humanitarian Overview. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — With the Central Asian region's urbanization accelerating, people's demand for convenient and low-carbon travel has increased significantly. In this regard, Chinese-made clean-energy vehicles have become one of the ideal choices for local consumers, the Zhongguo Guomen Shibao newspaper of the General Administration of Customs reported.

Segway Technology Co., Ltd., a personal mobility aids development and manufacturing company based in Changzhou City, East China's Jiangsu Province, is preparing to send a batch of ATVs worth a total of 740,000 yuan (approximately $103,700) to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

According to the results of the first half of 2025, the company's export volume of ATVs, electric scooters, electric bicycles and their spare parts to Central Asian countries reached 8.7 million yuan in value terms.

The company's products are currently sold in more than 100 countries and regions around the world. Company representative Li Mingju noted that the Central Asian region, where the Chinese side first put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, is an important support point in the globalization strategy of their enterprise.

Parked at Zhongtong Bus Holding Co., Ltd., a leading bus manufacturing company based in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, east China, are a number of passenger buses with the sticker “FERGANA CITY BUS.” They will be delivered to Fergana City, Uzbekistan, via the Khorgos checkpoint in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, northwest China.

The company's foreign marketing director, Tang Xuexia, noted that this batch of gas-powered buses, manufactured to order for Uzbekistan, is equipped with engines independently developed by China. Thanks to low carbon emissions and powerful engines, these vehicles will not only help reduce operating costs, but will also transport passengers safely and comfortably, she noted.

It is worth noting that, under the support of Liaocheng Customs, the company has strengthened the development of buses that meet the greenhouse gas emission regulations of Central Asian countries. To this end, the company has introduced advanced combustion technologies into its engines, improved the intake and exhaust systems, and upgraded the exhaust gas cleaning device.

According to the data, in the first half of this year, the company exported 193 passenger buses to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries, with a total value of over 100 million yuan.
