Moscow, October 27 /Xinhua/ — In 2026, the quota for attracting foreign workers from countries with which Russia has a visa regime will be 278,900 people, TASS reported on Monday, citing the press service of the Russian Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.

The agency clarified that the quota was formed based on employer applications approved at the regional and federal levels. Some permits are intended to extend existing ones, so not all of them involve hiring new employees. Employers most often invite specialists from visa-required countries such as China, Turkey, India, and Serbia.

According to the Ministry of Labor, 92 percent of workers within the quota are qualified specialists employed in industrial enterprises and infrastructure projects, while the share of unskilled workers does not exceed 8 percent.

Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Dmitry Platygin noted that the main priority of state policy remains the employment of Russian citizens, and the quota mechanism makes the recruitment of foreign labor more transparent.

BEIJING, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday expressed hope that China and the United States will move toward each other, prepare for high-level interaction, and create conditions for the development of bilateral relations.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that relations between China and the United States have an impact on the entire world. According to him, healthy, stable, and sustainable bilateral relations meet the long-term interests of both countries and the common aspirations of the international community.

As Wang Yi emphasized, Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump are world-class leaders who have maintained long-standing contacts and mutual respect, which has become the most valuable strategic asset in China-US relations.

Earlier, complications arose again in trade and economic relations between the two countries, the Chinese diplomat noted, adding that during the talks in Kuala Lumpur, the parties clarified their positions, deepened mutual understanding, and reached a framework consensus on resolving current urgent trade and economic issues on an equal footing.

This once again proves that stabilization and advancement of bilateral relations are possible if the two sides fully implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, adhere to the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, resolve differences through dialogue and refrain from using pressure, Wang Yi pointed out.

M. Rubio, for his part, stated that the relationship between the United States and China is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. He expressed hope that high-level interaction will send a positive signal to the world.

Kuala Lumpur, October 27 (Xinhua) — China intends to uphold the multilateral trading system with even greater resolve and is ready to work with all parties to uphold genuine multilateralism, Chinese Premier Li Qiang stated on Monday.

Li Qiang made the statement in Kuala Lumpur at the 5th Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) leaders' meeting.

The Premier of the State Council recalled the statement of Chinese President Xi Jinping, who once stated that “only openness, inclusiveness, and cooperation for mutual benefit are the right path for humanity.”

According to Li Qiang, since the RCEP agreement came into force more than three years ago, trade and economic cooperation between its members has continued to deepen, and the regional economy has maintained fairly rapid growth despite the lack of momentum in the global economy as a whole.

As the head of the Chinese government noted, the agreement played an indispensable and important role in this process: it expanded the space for joint development for all participants, provided mechanisms for protecting economic security, and created a platform for promoting innovative cooperation.

Li Qiang stated that the international trade and economic environment is currently undergoing complex changes, with unilateralism and protectionism gaining momentum, creating enormous risks for the region. He called on the agreement's participants to work more closely together to address challenges and, through combined efforts, promote development.

The Premier called for more openness in building a large regional market by strengthening market connectivity, promoting regional economic integration, accelerating the expansion of the RCEP, and supporting the entry of candidates such as China's Hong Kong.

Li Qiang also called on all parties to more actively promote the quality and modernization of the agreement. He stated that it is necessary to comprehensively and efficiently implement the obligations contained in the agreement, promote active alignment with high-standard international trade and economic norms, and explore opportunities for achieving more significant breakthroughs in areas such as market access, government procurement, the digital and green economies, and industrial and supply chains.

The Chinese Prime Minister assured that China will consistently support the central role of ASEAN and work with all parties to uphold the stability of the region's multilateral trading system.

Li Qiang added that China is willing to pool wisdom and strength with all parties to achieve new practical results in cooperation within the RCEP framework and jointly create a bright future of common prosperity.

Minsk, October 27 (Xinhua) — Lithuania has completely closed traffic across the Belarusian-Lithuanian border several times over the past week, the State Customs Committee of Belarus reported.

As the agency noted, last week the Lithuanian side closed the border with Belarus for several hours four times: on October 22, the border was closed by the Lithuanian side for six hours, on October 25, from midnight to 12:00, and on the night of October 26, traffic through the Medininkai and Šalčininkai road checkpoints was suspended for three and a half hours (from 11:00 PM to 2:30 AM).

"Each time, the Lithuanian authorities do this without warning, creating desperate situations for drivers of passenger cars at the checkpoints during the closure. People find themselves at a loss as to what to do next. For truck drivers, the temporary closure isn't particularly critical, considering that Lithuanians are already working 10 times slower than they should. However, waiting an additional day to enter Lithuania on top of the several days already in place shouldn't become the norm," the State Customs Committee noted.

On Monday morning, the press service of the State Customs Committee of Belarus announced that traffic on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border had not been restored. "Nine hours after the reopening of traffic across the Belarusian-Lithuanian border, Lithuanian authorities decided to close the checkpoints. Traffic was suspended on October 26 at 11:30 p.m. and has still not been restored /10:00 a.m./. This time, the opening time of the checkpoints has not been announced," the committee explained.
