Moscow, October 16 (Xinhua) — Representatives of Russia and the United States will immediately begin preparations for a new meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. The summit could take place, for example, in Budapest. This was announced to reporters by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov on Thursday.

"The presidents discussed the possibility of holding another in-person meeting. This is truly a very important moment. It was agreed that representatives of the two countries will immediately begin preparing for a summit, which could be held, for example, in Budapest," said Yury Ushakov after the telephone conversation between the Russian and US presidents.

According to him, the telephone conversation, which lasted approximately two and a half hours, took place at the initiative of the Russian side. The conversation was substantive and extremely frank.

As Yuri Ushakov noted, D. Trump suggested Budapest as a possible location for the summit, and V. Putin supported this idea.

The Russian leader's aide also reported that the presidents discussed the possible supply of Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv by Washington. Vladimir Putin noted that supplying the Kyiv regime with American Tomahawk missiles would damage relations between Russia and the United States, as well as the peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict. Russian troops retain full strategic initiative along the entire line of contact, the Russian president emphasized.

"Donald Trump repeatedly emphasized the need for a swift peace in Ukraine. The idea that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has proven the most difficult to resolve in all of the US President's peacemaking efforts was evident in his statements throughout the entire conversation," said Yuri Ushakov.

The current conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump was the eighth since the beginning of the year. The previous conversation took place almost two months ago, a few days after the Russian-American summit in Alaska, USA.

Beijing, October 16 (Xinhua) — China will consistently streamline permitting procedures and reduce application review times as part of its latest measures to control rare earth metal exports, and will actively consider simplifying relevant procedures to effectively facilitate legitimate trade, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian announced at a press conference on Thursday.

She said the current export measures are the Chinese government's normal steps to improve its domestic export control system in accordance with laws and regulations and are not aimed at any specific country or region.

“All eligible applications for export of goods intended for civilian use will be approved,” He Yongqian said.

She noted that export control measures are a legitimate practice designed to prevent the illegal use of rare earth metals, such as for weapons of mass destruction, and thereby better ensure China's national security and overall global security.

China has notified relevant countries and regions before announcing the introduction of export control measures and is currently in contact with relevant parties to facilitate their implementation, the spokesperson said.

Furthermore, He Yongqian stated that China expresses its deep dissatisfaction and firmly opposes a number of restrictive measures taken by the United States, including the recent expansion of the list of economic entities subject to export restrictions and the imposition of additional port charges on Chinese vessels following an investigation under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act. China calls on the American side to immediately correct its erroneous actions, the official spokesperson added.

She pointed out that the Section 301 investigation and restrictive measures, specifically targeting China's shipbuilding sector, are typical examples of unilateralism and protectionism. According to her, these actions not only harm the interests of the relevant Chinese industries but also contribute to domestic inflation in the United States, undermine the competitiveness of American ports, and harm employment in the United States.

Such measures disrupt the stability of global supply chains and create chaos in the international shipping industry, He Yongqian said, emphasizing that China's countermeasures are defensive actions taken out of necessity and aimed at ensuring a level playing field in global shipping and shipbuilding markets.

As the official representative noted, following the trade and economic negotiations between China and the United States held in Madrid, the American side, ignoring repeated admonitions from the Chinese side, introduced 20 measures to suppress China in just over 20 days, which caused serious damage to China's interests and destroyed the atmosphere of trade and economic negotiations between the two sides.

He Yongqian emphasized that China is extremely dissatisfied with the measures taken by the American side and firmly opposes them. She expressed hope that the American side will cherish the achievements of the trade and economic negotiations and immediately correct its missteps. China hopes to work with the American side to properly address each other's concerns through equal dialogue based on mutual respect, the official spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce added.

Bishkek, October 16 (Xinhua) — The third meeting of national security advisers (NSA) in the Central Asia-India format took place on Thursday in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The press service of the President of Kyrgyzstan reported this.

This multilateral format is reportedly a continuation of broad regional cooperation in the interests of peace and strengthening stability, and also serves as a unique platform for exchanging views on key security issues.

In his speech, Secretary of the Security Council of Kyrgyzstan Baktybek Bekbolotov noted that the most valuable aspect of this meeting was the similarity in assessments of the situation and the degree of impact of challenges and threats on regional and national security.

According to him, the current international political situation is in many ways the main restraining factor for effective interaction and fruitful cooperation.

B. Bekbolotov emphasized that cooperation should include not only military and law enforcement components, but also cultural interaction, humanitarian exchanges, the expansion of educational programs, and joint initiatives in science and technology.

Earlier, the Central Asian Security Council Secretaries and the National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of India met with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov. During the meeting, issues of ensuring regional security and countering current threats and challenges were discussed.
