WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) — John Bolton, who served as US national security adviser during Donald Trump's first term, was indicted on Thursday on charges of mishandling classified information.

A federal grand jury in the District of Maryland indicted him on eight counts of unauthorized transfer of national defense information and 10 counts of unlawful possession of it.

J. Bolton is charged with "serious crimes involving the mishandling of classified information," the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.

"Like many public officials throughout history, Ambassador Bolton kept diaries—that's not a crime. We look forward to the opportunity to once again prove that Ambassador Bolton did not share or retain any information illegally," said the defendant's attorney, Abbe Lowell, as quoted by CNN.

J. Bolton said he had become the target of a campaign of retaliation that D. Trump had unleashed against those he considered political opponents.

Let us recall that in less than a month, formal charges have already been brought against three high-ranking opponents of the US President. –0–

On October 16, the SCO Roundtable on Global Governance 2025 was held in Beijing. It was organized under the auspices of the China International Literature Commission (CICG), the SCO Secretariat, and the China Institute of International Studies. It also received direct support from the Europe and Asia Broadcasting Center (Renmin Huabao) of the China International Literature Commission, the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies, and the International Relations Center of the China International Literature Commission. More than 150 representatives from the SCO Secretariat, UN organizations accredited in China, think tanks, media outlets, and international organizations from China and the SCO countries participated in the dialogue on "Implementing the Global Governance Initiative and Building a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity."

Chang Bo, head of the CICG, noted that this dialogue is not only a living example of promoting the "Shanghai Spirit" and strengthening mutual understanding and trust between SCO countries, but also a concrete step toward implementing the Global Governance Initiative. The CICG, for its part, is prepared to actively implement this Initiative and work collaboratively with the SCO media, think tanks, cultural organizations, and dedicated experts from various fields to establish an association of media representatives and think tanks in the field of global governance, launch an innovative SCO communications project in the field of governance, and create a library of case studies on practical SCO cooperation. It is also necessary to develop a joint research program on "Dialogue among Civilizations and Global Governance" and compile a White Paper on the mutual enrichment of SCO civilizations. This will allow the concept of "each with its own beauty, united by a common destiny" to become a common "value denominator" in global governance and jointly promote the construction of a community with a shared future for humanity.

SCO Secretary-General Nurlan Yermekbayev stated that the Global Governance Initiative is highly consistent with the "Shanghai Spirit" and places equal emphasis on sovereign equality, the rule of international law, and the inviolable nature of multilateralism. In recent years, the SCO has become an important platform for exchanging experiences in national governance. Member states have reached consensus and are implementing it in the areas of political security, trade and economic cooperation, and cultural exchanges, and continue to expand cooperation to maintain regional peace and stability and improve public well-being.

Sun Linjiang, Special Representative of the Chinese Government for Eurasian Affairs, stated that in today's world, where the transformations of the last century have accelerated evolution, the international situation is intertwined with turmoil. At the same time, the world is becoming multipolar, economic globalization and the democratization of international relations are driving deep development, and the advent of an era of peaceful development, cooperation, and mutual benefit is unstoppable. Responding to the call of the times, the SCO must play a leading role, set an example in the implementation of the four major global initiatives, and make new and greater contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind. In this regard, China is ready to cooperate with its partners in the "SCO family" in implementing the common values of all mankind, systematically implementing the four major global initiatives, and building a closer SCO community with a shared future, helping countries better realize their development and revival, and advancing the world toward bright prospects of peace, security, prosperity, and progress.

Siddharth Chatterjee, UN Resident Coordinator in China, believes that the UN Pact for the Future, adopted in 2024, reflects a collective vision for strengthening global governance and restoring trust among countries. The Global Governance Initiative is consistent with the goals of the UN Pact and provides a framework for revitalizing the multilateral system. UN organizations accredited in China stand ready to work with all parties to translate global commitments into concrete results. All parties should utilize platforms such as the SCO to promote global progress through regional cooperation and make global governance fair, inclusive, sustainable, and beneficial for the people.

During the dialogue, the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies and the International Relations Center of the China Foreign Language Publication and Distribution Administration released a research report on "The SCO's Example in Implementing the Global Governance Initiative." The roundtable also featured the presentation of Li Ziguo, Director of the Eurasia Institute at the Chinese Academy of International Studies, a new book, "The History of the SCO in the New Era."

The third ceremony conferring the title "Ambassador of Russian Education and Science" was held at the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Minister Valery Falkov presented honorary badges to eleven foreign representatives, including two graduates of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. These included Liu Wei, Secretary General of the Institute of Russia at Tsinghua University (China), and Issa Togo, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Mali in St. Petersburg and Associate Professor at SPbPU.

This award recognizes their long-standing work to strengthen the international standing of Russian education and science. The ambassadors' mission is to promote Russia's educational opportunities and scientific achievements at leading international venues.

Upon receiving the prestigious title, Liu Wei shared sincere and warm memories of her years spent in Russia: "It is a great honor for me to receive the title of Ambassador of Russian Education and Science. Developing Russian-Chinese cooperation in science and education is my ongoing mission, and I have been fortunate to serve as an envoy between our countries for nearly 25 years."

Liu Wei addressed special words of gratitude to her alma mater: "My 10 years of study at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University left an indelible mark on my life and laid a solid foundation for future collaboration. Here I gained not only knowledge, but also an understanding of a rich culture, great traditions, mentality, and profound insights. And since then, Russia has become not a foreign country for me, but a second home."

The work of both new ambassadors has been making a significant contribution to strengthening international ties for decades. Liu Wei has overseen scientific and technical cooperation with Russia since 2002. She actively developed human resources by organizing innovation dialogues, training courses for oil companies, student camps, and creating infrastructure projects such as language testing and standardization centers.

In his speech, Valery Falkov noted the growing role of ambassadors in developing inter-university contacts, increasing the number of joint projects, and growing interest in studying in Russia.

Currently, more than 414,000 foreign students from 184 countries are studying at Russian universities, and by 2030, the plan is to accept up to half a million foreign students, the minister said.

Active work is underway to achieve this: modernization of infrastructure, construction of new campuses, and the introduction of grant support that covers not only tuition but also accommodation and travel.

A 1985 Polytechnic University graduate, Issa Togo rose from the leader of the Malian community in Leningrad to the architect of Mali's higher education reform, serving as a member of the expert group establishing the new Polytechnic University. Today, as Mali's Honorary Consul in St. Petersburg, he coordinates a large-scale Russian-Malian project to build a hydroelectric power station that addresses issues of energy supply, water supply, and flood protection.

SPbPU is one of the founders and most active participants in the consortium implementing the "Ambassadors of Russian Education and Science" program. The Polytechnic University is proud that the contribution of its graduates to the advancement of Russian education and science has been so highly recognized, and now four Polytechnic University graduates have this honorary title.

Dmitry Arsenyev, SPbPU Vice-Rector for International Affairs, praised the recognition of the graduates' achievements: Liu Wei and Issa Togo exemplify the deep integration of the best traditions of Russian education into the global scientific and educational space. Their long-standing, consistent work represents genuine diplomacy of trust, where each completed project becomes a building block in the edifice of mutual understanding between nations. We see them as strategic partners whose work directly contributes to strengthening the international prestige of Russian education and science. Awarding them this honorary title is a logical recognition of their role as champions of Russian educational standards and scientific achievements, whose work forms a solid foundation for future breakthrough joint projects.

Since the program's launch in 2023, 24 international experts have been awarded the title of ambassador. By 2030, the pool of ambassadors is expected to expand to 250 representatives from 60 countries, opening new opportunities for promoting Russian education and science on the global stage.
