Li Yingying, a junior research fellow at the Institute of Eurasian Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, noted in an article for the Tianjin Ribao on August 19 that the institutional basis of the SCO's trade and economic cooperation is continuously being strengthened.

Over the past years, a comprehensive mechanism for economic cooperation has been created within the SCO.

On the basis of the Council of Heads of State and the Council of Heads of Government (Prime Ministers), regular mechanisms for meetings of ministers of economy and trade, ministers of transport, ministers of energy, etc. have been created, and working groups on customs issues, e-commerce and investment promotion have been established.

Such documents as the “Program of Multilateral Trade and Economic Cooperation of the SCO Member States” and the “Agreement between the Governments of the SCO Member States on the Creation of Favorable Conditions for International Automobile Transportation” were signed. All this laid a solid foundation for deepening mutually beneficial cooperation between the SCO member states.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — China and the United States, as the world's major producers and consumers of agricultural products, have their own advantages in agriculture that can fully complement each other, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng said recently.

"China and the United States together account for nearly 40 percent of global food production and a quarter of global consumption. China has a comparative advantage in the production of labor-intensive agricultural products, while the United States specializes in land-intensive agricultural products thanks to mechanized large-scale production," Xie Feng said at the China-US Partnership Breakfast and Reception on Soybean Industry Cooperation in Washington.

“Agricultural exchanges and cooperation have not only provided greater choice to consumers in both countries, but also filled the pockets of American farmers,” the diplomat emphasized.

"They have given impetus to the transformation and modernization of agriculture in China and the United States and opened a new path for ensuring global food security," Xie Feng added.

The Chinese ambassador said agriculture should not be politicized and “farmers should not pay the price for the trade war.”

“China is ready to work with the American side to implement the important agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries, effectively use the mechanism of Chinese-American trade and economic consultations, strengthen consensus, eliminate misunderstandings and strengthen cooperation in order to jointly enjoy the dividends of development and return to the right path of mutual benefit,” the Chinese ambassador concluded. –0–

GAZA, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — Palestinian Hamas movement on Sunday said it had agreed to a partial prisoner swap with Israel and was ready to reach a comprehensive ceasefire deal, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected all available options.

In a press statement, Hamas said Netanyahu's approval of the "Gaza occupation plan" after the movement agreed to a proposal by Egyptian and Qatari mediators last week demonstrated his "insistence on preventing an agreement."

Hamas stressed that a ceasefire agreement is the only way to free all Israeli hostages and placed full responsibility for their fate on Netanyahu.

Israel's prime minister said on August 20 that he had instructed officials to begin "immediate negotiations" to free hostages held in Gaza and end the war, while promising to approve military plans to capture Gaza City.

However, Netanyahu did not specify how and where the talks would begin. As reported by the Israeli news site Ynet, citing a senior official, at this stage the Jewish state is not expected to send a delegation to either Doha or Cairo. –0–

JERUSALEM, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — Israeli officials said Sunday that their offensive on Gaza City was continuing, while residents reported heavy air and ground strikes and local authorities said the death toll from starvation continued to rise.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the attack on the city, which has sparked international alarm and criticism both abroad and in Israel, will continue. “The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are and will continue to operate with full force to defeat Hamas, ensure the release of all hostages and end the war on the terms set by Israel,” he said.

On Friday, Katz said the attack plans had been approved and warned that Gaza City would be destroyed unless Hamas agreed to Israel's conditions for ending the war, including the release of all hostages and permanent Israeli control of the enclave.

The Israeli military said it had expanded its offensive to the Jabaliya region in the northern Gaza Strip. “Troops are dismantling terrorist infrastructure above and below ground, eliminating militants and strengthening operational control in the region,” the statement said.

It added that the expansion of the fighting to additional areas is aimed at preventing the regrouping of Hamas militants. “The troops will continue operations against organizations in the Gaza Strip to maintain the security of the State of Israel,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, Gaza health authorities said on Saturday that at least eight hunger-related deaths, including one child, had been recorded in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll from the famine to 281 since March. –0–
