BEIJING, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) — China's foreign exchange reserves stood at $3.3991 trillion as of the end of January 2026, up $41.2 billion or 1.23 percent from the end of December last year, data released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) showed Saturday.

Last month, the US dollar index declined, while prices of major global financial assets generally rose, influenced by factors such as macroeconomic data, monetary policy, and expectations of leading economies, the State Financial Committee reported.

The increase in China's foreign exchange reserves in January was driven by the combined effects of exchange rate fluctuations and asset price changes, the department said.

The Chinese economy continues to maintain stable growth, demonstrating resilience and viability, which helps maintain the country's foreign exchange reserves at a stable level, the State Committee for Foreign Trade added. -0-

Khartoum, February 7 (Xinhua) — A drone attacked a World Food Programme (WFP) convoy in Sudan's North Kordofan state. UN Resident Coordinator in Sudan Denise Brown expressed deep concern over the attack.

According to her, the trucks were traveling from the city of Kosti. They were fired upon while delivering vital food aid to displaced families in the El Obeid area. As a result, at least one person was killed and several were injured.

D. Brown added that the trucks caught fire and the vital food supplies were destroyed. She recalled that earlier this week, a similar incident occurred near a WFP facility in the town of Yabus in Blue Nile State. One WFP employee was injured.

The United Nations has repeatedly reported that UN and other international convoys in Sudan are being targeted by airstrikes. Meanwhile, significant parts of the Darfur and Kordofan regions continue to experience severe food shortages.

Since mid-April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Forces (RIF). The fighting has claimed tens of thousands of lives and led to the displacement of several million people both within Sudan and abroad.

Aden, Yemen, February 7 (Xinhua) — Yemen's Presidential Governance Council (PGC) announced on Friday the formation of a new government led by Prime Minister Shaya Mohsen al-Zindani, the state-run Saba news agency reported.

The decree approving the new 35-minister cabinet was released weeks after the resignation of Salem Saleh bin Breik's government, which occurred amid deep divisions within Yemen's internationally recognized leadership.

The formation of the new cabinet is part of the GRP's efforts to strengthen political and administrative stability and restore government function in key sectors in the southern provinces, a Yemeni government official said on condition of anonymity.

"Saudi Arabia has committed to providing the new government with substantial financial and military support," he said, adding that cabinet members intend to return to Aden in the coming days to carry out their duties.

According to the source, political disputes and internal disagreements between pro-government groups have delayed the formation of a new cabinet by more than three weeks, although the PRS tasked Sh. M. al-Zindani with forming a new government back in January.

Yemen has been in conflict since 2014, following the Houthi takeover of the capital, Sana'a. A year later, a Saudi-led coalition intervened, supporting Yemen's internationally recognized government. The protracted war has led to one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.

Moscow, February 7 (Xinhua) — The Chinese Embassy in Russia held a gala reception for Russian friends in Moscow on Wednesday to mark the upcoming Spring Festival (Chinese Spring Festival, the traditional Chinese New Year according to the lunar calendar). Representatives of the Russian Presidential Administration and government, scientific and educational institutions, public organizations, and the media attended.

In his speech, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui declared 2025 to be a very fruitful year for Chinese-Russian relations. "Relations between China and Russia in the new era have become even more confident, stable, and strong," he quoted Chinese President Xi Jinping as saying.

Zhang Hanhui emphasized that 2026 will be a landmark year: it will mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of strategic partnership between China and Russia, as well as the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship, and Cooperation. Furthermore, the two sides will announce the launch of the Years of Education, the ambassador added.

Ivan Melnikov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma and Chairman of the Russian-Chinese Friendship Society, noted the strength of bilateral cooperation.

Dmitry Grigorenko: To implement AI on a large scale, it is necessary to establish operational cooperation with the regions.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko participated in a meeting of the State Council Commission on the Data Economy. The meeting focused on the development of artificial intelligence and the development of recommendations for the relevant interdepartmental commission (headquarters) under the President.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko noted that to scale up AI implementation in Russia, regions must be more actively involved in implementing the technology. Regions already have successful experience and results from implementing the technology: today, AI helps manage traffic flows, monitor law and order, and ensure safety and cleanliness in cities. Although regions of the Russian Federation have specific differences, some tasks in regional governance are common. Therefore, it is important for regions to share experiences on how AI technology can improve the efficiency of certain tasks. The State Council Commission can become a platform for aggregating regional experience in AI implementation, as well as for collecting and analyzing proposals from regions on the use of the technology.

"Large-scale implementation of AI implies the effective use of technology in key sectors across all regions of the country. To accelerate this process, it's important for us not just to create new solutions, but above all to establish an exchange of experience. We need to gather a complete picture of how regions are already using AI and where they see the greatest impact. The State Council Commission on the Data Economy could serve as a single point of reference for regional expertise. It could also collect, analyze, and implement proposals from regions. This will be essential for operational coordination with the AI headquarters to ensure rapid, informed decision-making," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The commission meeting also discussed the development of a framework law aimed at regulating AI. Dmitry Grigorenko noted that, given the growing influence of AI on key areas and the scaling of its application, the need for regulatory codification of its application in specific areas arises. Six potential areas of AI regulation are being discussed: developing criteria for "Russian" AI; labeling AI content; distributing rights, obligations, and responsibilities between AI developers and users; developing a conceptual framework; industry-specific aspects of AI application; and copyright issues for AI-created products. According to Dmitry Grigorenko, the framework law will primarily focus on introducing regulations for the use of AI in particularly sensitive areas, such as healthcare, legal proceedings, and security.

"The use of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly widespread. The need to introduce transparent 'rules of the game' is becoming increasingly pressing. It's important to maintain a balance when regulating AI. On the one hand, the goal is to prevent potential risks from using AI in areas where the cost of error is too high. On the other hand, it's important not to hinder the technology's development or 'stifle' it with regulations. For example, it's important to prevent the use of AI to commit crimes and to recognize its use as an aggravating circumstance in the commission of offenses. This is necessary to protect the interests of citizens. However, there are currently no plans to introduce requirements for the use of AI in businesses (with the exception of critical infrastructure facilities)," added Dmitry Grigorenko.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin inspected the technological equipment of the Interaction and Communications Center and held a working meeting dedicated to the results of the state expert review institute's work in 2025 and its current objectives.

"Glavgosexpertiza of Russia plays a vital role in implementing the construction industry's ambitious goals. Today, construction expertise is not just a control mechanism; it's also a powerful tool for managing project performance and increasing labor productivity. Thanks to more than five thousand highly qualified, certified experts who combine deep engineering expertise with the active implementation of digital solutions, we ensure the quality, safety, and economic viability of construction. The creation of a unified digital framework based on the Unified Expertise Platform, the transition to working with information models, and the implementation of artificial intelligence are our strategic response to modern challenges," said Marat Khusnullin.

Since 2022, the Interaction and Communications Center has served as a key platform for dialogue between all participants in the construction industry. Since its inception, the Center has hosted over 350 events, attended by nearly 30,000 specialists. Demonstrations of existing digital systems, including the Unified Digital Expertise Platform (EDEP), artificial intelligence-based services, a project showcase, and an engineering survey map, were held on-site.

Igor Manylov, Head of the Federal State Institution "Glavgosexpertiza of Russia," noted that the institution is consistently developing and implementing artificial intelligence-based solutions in both production and administrative processes.

"Our goal is to integrate AI into expert work so that it becomes a reliable assistant to the specialist. The partnership between humans and algorithms is crucial: the expert is responsible for data integrity, model verification, and the final professional judgment," noted the head of Glavgosexpertiza.

The meeting also summarized the results for 2025, which showed that state and non-state expert review organizations issued over 82,000 opinions, and the estimated costs of designed projects were optimized by over 800 billion rubles. Currently, 123 expert organizations are connected to the Unified Center for Expertise, and the system has accumulated 12.8 million files. Work is currently underway on a next-generation platform—Unified Center for Expertise 2.0—which will serve as the foundation for the end-to-end digitalization of the investment and construction cycle. Key future objectives include developing project engineering support, creating a unified digital environment, and actively implementing intelligent tools.
