BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — China will provide financial support for the high-quality development of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, according to a document jointly issued by eight government departments including the People's Bank of China (PBOC) and the National Development and Reform Commission.

The document proposes 21 specific support measures aimed at fully utilising the core financing and settlement functions.

This corridor connects the Silk Road Economic Belt in the north and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road in the south, coordinating its activities with the Yangtze River Economic Belt, defining its key strategic role in the architecture of coordinated regional development. Since its pilot launch in 2017, it has become a strategic route linking China's hinterland with markets in ASEAN countries and elsewhere.

Efforts will be made to create a digital financial services platform and improve the system of financial openness and cooperation, the document says.

It notes that these measures will help to form a new architecture of openness to the outside world, linking land and sea routes and covering both the eastern and western regions of the country. -0-

Moscow, December 24 (Xinhua) — Russia will formulate its position and intends to continue negotiations with the United States through existing channels following the results of the visit to Miami by Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian President's Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). This was announced to reporters by Dmitry Peskov, the Russian President's press secretary.

"We now intend to formulate our future position based on the information received by the head of state and continue our contacts in the very near future through the existing channels that are currently operational," said D. Peskov.

According to him, the Kremlin considers it inappropriate to publicly disclose the specific documents and agreements K. Dmitriev brought from Miami. "We continue to believe, even at this stage, that it is highly inappropriate to conduct any communication through the media," the Kremlin spokesman noted.

He also declined to comment on reports about Kyiv's proposed plan for settling the Ukrainian conflict. "I've already answered this question, so I don't see the point in repeating myself," the Kremlin spokesman said, responding to a request to comment on the 20-point plan published in the media.

"All the key parameters of the Russian side's position are well known to our colleagues from the United States," D. Peskov emphasized. He was commenting on the statement by US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker that the ball is in Russia's court in the Ukraine negotiations.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei on Tuesday called for the resumption of talks on the Iranian nuclear issue.

"China calls on relevant parties to strengthen their sense of urgency, demonstrate responsibility, promptly resume negotiations, and strive to achieve consensus and results," the Chinese representative said.

"Force and confrontation will not solve the problem. All parties must remain calm and exercise restraint, pursuing diplomacy and dialogue to properly resolve differences and avoid a return to the vicious cycle of sanctions, pressure, and escalation," he said.

"The United States must take its responsibilities seriously, demonstrate political sincerity, make a clear commitment not to use force against Iran, and actively resume negotiations with it. The UK, France, and Germany (the E3) must abandon their 'microphone diplomacy', play a constructive role in easing tensions and overcoming differences, and translate their stated commitment to a diplomatic solution into concrete actions," Sun Lei added.

Despite the unfair treatment, Iran has repeatedly reaffirmed the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, emphasized that it has no intention of developing nuclear weapons, and actively engaged with all parties to find solutions. China calls on relevant countries to attach great importance to Iran's sincerity and positive efforts, rather than resorting to unilateral pressure and destructive actions.

As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a signatory to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, China has always played a constructive role in resolving the Iranian nuclear issue and actively promoted peace and negotiations. China will continue to cooperate with all parties, making unremitting efforts to promote an early resumption of negotiations, advance the political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, uphold the international non-proliferation regime, and strengthen peace and stability in the Middle East, he noted.

Caracas, December 24 (Xinhua) — Venezuela's National Assembly (parliament) on Tuesday approved a bill to protect freedom of navigation and trade from piracy, blockades, and other illegal international actions. The measure comes after the United States seized ships carrying Venezuelan oil in the Caribbean.

Following the vote, National Assembly Speaker Jorge Rodriguez announced the passage of the law.

The document was adopted during an extraordinary session and urgently following the United States' detention of vessels transporting Venezuelan oil. The law provides for penalties of up to 20 years in prison for inciting or financing acts of piracy or blockade.

The law aims to protect Venezuela's trade and political relations from what authorities say are threats from the United States.

On Monday, the National Assembly approved the bill in its first reading. It was proposed by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as part of his efforts to protect national sovereignty.

Rio de Janeiro, December 24 (Xinhua) – The year 2025 is "ending well" for Brazil, and the increase in US tariffs on Brazilian goods has been "insignificant" for the country's economy. This was stated by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Tuesday, speaking about the country's domestic situation and relations with Washington.

"The year is ending well. Food prices are falling, and people can once again afford to buy the more expensive goods. Even the tariffs imposed by the US on Brazil turned out to be insignificant," the Brazilian leader said.

He emphasized that Brazil's economy has demonstrated adaptability and resilience in the face of Washington's new trade policies and the geopolitical and trade tensions they create.

The President emphasized the gradual increase in the population's purchasing power, especially after the fall in food prices, which is a key issue for low-income families.

According to L.I. Lula da Silva, this process contributes to a more positive perception of the socio-economic situation in Brazil as the end of the year approaches. –0–
