BRASILIA/NEW DELHI, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a telephone conversation on Thursday, during which the two sides reaffirmed their commitment to bilateral cooperation and multilateralism amid rising global trade tensions.

The two leaders exchanged views on various regional and global issues of mutual interest. “They recalled the goal of increasing bilateral trade to more than US$20 billion by 2030. They also agreed to expand the scope of the agreement between the countries of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur) and India,” the Brazilian presidential office said in a statement.

On his page on the social network X, the Indian prime minister called the conversation “good.”

“We are committed to deepening our strategic partnerships in areas such as trade, energy, technology, defense and health. Strong, people-centered partnerships among countries of the Global South benefit everyone,” he wrote.

L.I. Lula da Silva has confirmed that he will visit India on a state visit in early 2026. In preparation, Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin will visit India in October to attend a meeting of the Trade Monitoring Mechanism, accompanied by ministers and business leaders.

The telephone conversation also touched on cooperation within BRICS. The leaders of the two countries reviewed the results of the recent BRICS summit in Brazil and discussed coordination of actions in connection with India's upcoming chairmanship of the bloc.

The conversation between the leaders of Brazil and India came shortly after the United States announced a sharp increase in tariffs on goods from the two countries. –0–

The International Mathematical Olympiad is the most important student competition in mathematics in the world. IMC-2025 was held from July 28 to August 3 in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. More than 430 students from leading universities around the world took part in it. For NSU, this is the 12th Olympiad, and every year the university students take honorable places in it.

This year, Novosibirsk State University was represented at IMC by: Valery Pyatkin, Stanislav Yelovatsky, Timofey Vasiliev with Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics and Ivan Frolov with Faculty of Natural Sciences.

The tasks for the mathematical Olympiad are selected at a jury meeting. Students' work is assessed according to the presented criteria by team leaders, professors and associate professors of universities.

Based on the results of the individual competition, the NSU team received four medals: two gold, one silver and one bronze. The team leaders are Anatoly Albertovich Ruban, associate professor of the Department of Mathematical Analysis of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of NSU, and three-time IMC participant Danila Sergeevich Belousov.

– I have been participating in IMC since my first year, this was my third trip. The Olympiad was held in the IMO format. We solved 5 problems every day for two days. The problems are non-standard and quite different from those we solve in Russia. The Olympiad is taking place in a somewhat familiar place, the city of Blagoevgrad, which is located in Bulgaria. Students from all over the world, from South America to China, come there. I was surprised by the number of Russian students, about 15% were from Russia: they represented Moscow universities, St. Petersburg State University and NSU. In my free time from solving problems, it was nice to talk to everyone and take a walk, – shared my impressions Stanislav Yelovatsky, a 4th-year student of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of NSU.

In the team competition, NSU students beat the teams from HSE and MSU, taking 15th place – this is the best result in the last 10 years of the university's participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Congratulations to the guys on their excellent result!

The government has expanded the opportunities for Russian manufacturers to participate in government procurement and to receive government support measures

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The validity period of an entry in the register of Russian industrial products, which confirms their domestic origin, has been increased from three to five years. The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

Extending the validity period of the record will reduce the costs of companies for localization level examination, and will also significantly reduce the administrative burden on domestic manufacturers. Thus, participation in government procurement will become possible without regularly reissuing the documentation required for admission to the auction.

In addition, the decision taken will give producers the opportunity to apply for government support measures that are designed for a period of more than three years.

The three-year validity period of the registry entry was established by the Government in 2022.

The document will be published.

Bypass of Severomorsk, Murmansk region

By 2030, 50 bypasses around populated areas will be built in Russia on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin. In particular, under the national project "Infrastructure for Life", work is underway this year on the construction of four such facilities with a total length of more than 30 km on the regional road network alone, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

"Road bypasses around cities play an important role in relieving the street network and increasing traffic safety. They allow transit transport to be routed outside of populated areas, which reduces traffic jams, reduces noise levels and improves the environmental situation. Thanks to such solutions, drivers do not have to waste time driving slowly through the city, and residents receive calmer and more comfortable streets. By 2030, on the instructions of the President of Russia, Rosavtodor, the State Company Avtodor, and the regions are planning to build more than 50 bypasses of populated areas. Of these, about 36 bypasses of cities will be built on federal highways. No less large-scale work is being carried out on the regional network: out of 14 planned bypasses of populated areas, six have been built and put into operation. Active work within the framework of the national project Infrastructure for Life is being carried out at four more sites: in Perm Krai, Astrakhan and Pskov Regions, and the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. As a result of the commissioning of the facilities, we will not only receive alternative routes for motorists, but will also create the opportunity for the sustainable development of urban infrastructure," said Marat Khusnullin.

Bypasses of populated areas help in the creation and optimization of transport routes, allowing transit freight traffic to be diverted outside residential areas and reducing the load on the road network.

"Two significant regional facilities have already been commissioned this year. Thus, the construction of the northwestern bypass of the city of Kemerovo, 47.6 km long, has been completed. It was built in three years instead of the planned six years. Another important project is the second stage of the construction of the bypass of Ruzayevka in the Republic of Mordovia. The length of the new road is 4.1 km. These measures have significantly relieved the street and road network of populated areas from transit transport, which has improved the quality of life of people and positively affected the environmental situation," emphasized Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin.

Under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, not only are new bypasses being built, but existing ones are also being updated.

"Updating and maintaining city bypasses in good transport and operational condition is also an important task of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". In the current road season alone, repair, major repair and reconstruction work is underway at 34 such sites. Their total length is 102.1 km," said Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

The construction of the northern bypass of Pskov continues in the Pskov Region. Its length will be 8.7 km. At present, the construction readiness of the second launch complex is 22%. The bypass will become the most important link in the region's transport system. It will connect the regional and federal highways: Pskov – Gdov – Slantsy – Kingisepp – Kuzemkino – Krakolye and A-212 Pskov – Izborsk – border with the Republic of Estonia. In addition, the bypass will provide convenient access to the special economic zone "Moglino", which will have a positive effect on the industrial potential of the Pskov Region.

In the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania, a 7.1 km long bypass of the village of Arkhonskaya will be built. It will be connected to the regional highway Vladikavkaz – Ardon – Chikola – Lesken-2, which connects four districts of North Ossetia and is the main transport corridor for freight and passenger transportation across the territory of the republic. The project includes the construction of a bridge across the Gizeldon River with a length of 92.3 running meters and two overpasses – at the intersection with the main highway at the entrance to the village and at the intersection with the inter-municipal road Arkhonskaya – BMK – Khumalag – "Kavkaz".

In addition to the construction of new bypasses of populated areas, much attention is paid to the modernization of existing ones. In the Republic of Adygea, a 5 km section of the Maikop bypass has been repaired. The highway connects the regional road Maikop – Giaginskaya – Psebay – Zelenchukskaya – Karachayevsk and two federal highways: Maikop – Tuapse and R-217 "Kavkaz". In addition, the Maikop bypass is a key transport artery not only for local residents, but also for guests of the republic, as it is part of the tourist route to the Black Sea coast. The highway can also be used to reach the mountain attractions of the region.

On August 6, 2025, a meeting was held at the State University of Management between Rector Vladimir Stroev, founder and president of the AVANTI Association, and Rakhman Yansukov.

AVANTI is an association of more than 10,000 Russian entrepreneurs, supporting, among other things, small and medium businesses and youth entrepreneurship.

Vladimir Vitalyevich told the guest about the historical role of the State University of Management in the development of entrepreneurship in our country and about the opportunities and programs in this area that the university provides today.

"The predecessor of the State University of Management was the Aleksandrovskoye Commercial School, where many famous merchants and bankers of that time studied, for example, the Morozovs and Lapins. Later, in 1990, it was here that the first department of entrepreneurship in the country was created. Today, we also help students develop entrepreneurial thinking, for example, through project-based learning, meetings with successful businessmen, master classes, and so on," noted Vladimir Stroyev.

During the conversation, the parties discussed possible vectors of cooperation and agreed on a future meeting.

Let us recall that the State University of Management is the federal operator of the All-Russian competition “My Good Business” for the third year in a row; the university’s specialists conduct a “Course on Business and Entrepreneurship” in the country’s key children’s educational centers, and the State University of Management also works with partner schools that have opened entrepreneurship classes.

Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the issue of preparations for the tenth Eastern Economic Forum.

"We continue to prepare for the anniversary Eastern Economic Forum. The EEF gives impetus to the development of the Far East, new investment projects are coming to the Far Eastern regions. It was from the Far East that the territories of advanced development, the "Hectare" program, preferential mortgages and master plans for the development of cities began. Residents of the Far East feel the changes. New enterprises and airports are being built, jobs are being created. Obviously, there is still much to do. Continuing to work on the implementation of the President's instructions, we must clearly understand that the Far East plays a special role today. It is becoming a transit territory for the markets of Russia and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region," Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.

It is expected that about six thousand people will take part in the forum. The geography of participants already covers 36 countries and territories.

The architecture of the EEF-2025 program was previously published. The main theme of the forum is "The Far East – cooperation for peace and prosperity." The business events of the forum are divided into thematic blocks: "The Far East – a territory for life and development", "Recipes for growth: investments, innovations, integration", "Openness and mutually beneficial partnership – the basis of stability", "Technologies: from theory to economic effects", "Cities – for people's lives" and "Arteries of growth: how logistics changes the economy". It was also decided to allocate an additional track "In partnership between business and the state: a major reassembly". In total, the business program currently includes more than 90 sessions.

"The tenth, anniversary Eastern Economic Forum allows us to sum up the interim results of the Far East's development. The rich business program will be aimed at recording current results and will help to identify promising areas for the future economy in the macro-region. The event will include the Creative Industries Forum, the Falcon Day International Forum, the Future Day Youth Forum, the APEC International Conference on Higher Education, and the Russian Historical Society Conference. The forum's program will include business dialogues with entrepreneurs from China, India, Thailand, Myanmar, and ASEAN countries, and applications for their implementation continue to arrive. This speaks to the high interest of our partners in an equal and mutually beneficial dialogue that Russia is ready to offer to the world community," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President and Executive Secretary of the EEF Organizing Committee.

The head of the Primorsky Territory and Vladivostok, Oleg Kozhemyako, spoke about the preparations for the 10th Eastern Economic Forum in Primorsky Krai and Vladivostok. According to him, more than two hundred events are planned within the framework of the "road map" for preparing the infrastructure of the region and the city of Vladivostok for the EEF. Headquarters are working to ensure public order, citizen safety and electricity supply. 455 volunteers have been trained.

Rector of the Far Eastern Federal University Boris Korobets reported on the preparation of the campus and territory of the Far Eastern Federal University for the forum. For the fourth year in a row, a lecture for students and youth of Primorye will be held during the EEF with the support of the Roscongress Foundation and the Russian Knowledge Society. This year, one of the main topics of the lecture will be "Homeland: History, Traditions, Unity", dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and World War II. 350 students will take part in the lecture in person, another 8.5 million people will join the event online.

"Thanks to the implementation of new investment projects, we have ensured higher economic growth in the Far East than in other territories of the Russian Federation. I consider this extremely important. Our task is to do everything possible to ensure that the Eastern Economic Forum, where the results of our ten years of work will be summed up this year, is held at a decent level," Yuri Trutnev summed up the meeting.

GENEVA, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Thursday that desperation in the Gaza Strip had led to a breakdown in law and order, calling for the creation of humanitarian corridors to evacuate people in need of urgent medical care outside the enclave.

“People are dying not only from hunger and disease, but also in a desperate search for food,” the WHO director-general said at a briefing in Geneva, noting that since May 27, more than 1,600 people have died and almost 12,000 have been injured while trying to collect food from distribution points.

Gazans have limited access to basic services, face constant displacement and are currently suffering from a blockade of food supplies, he said.

“Malnutrition is widespread and deaths from hunger are rising,” he said, adding that nearly 12,000 children under five suffered from acute malnutrition in July, the highest monthly figure ever.

Overcrowding and deteriorating water, sanitation and hygiene conditions have allowed diseases to continue to spread, seriously affecting the health of the youngest people, he said.

On July 29, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Food Programme and the UN Children's Fund issued a joint statement warning that the Gaza Strip was at risk of full-scale famine as key food and nutrition indicators continued to deteriorate.

The WHO Director-General said the organization had assisted in the evacuation of 7,522 patients from Gaza since the conflict began in October 2023, but more than 14,800 patients in the enclave still urgently need specialized medical care. He called on more countries to accept patients and speed up medical evacuations by all means possible. –0–
