WUHAN, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — Freight train No. 75192 departed from Xianglushan Station in Wuhan City, central China's Hubei Province, bound for Kazakhstan on Wednesday, marking the opening of a second departure station in Hubei Province for trains running on the China-Europe/China-Central Asia international freight rail routes.

According to Zhang Peng, general manager of a local logistics company, in the past, all goods destined for export to Central Asia and Europe and transported to Wuhan via the Yangtze River could only be delivered through Wujiashan Station, the only departure station for China-Europe/China-Central Asia trains in Hubei Province.

He noted that the launch of a new similar station will reduce transportation time by approximately 2 days than before, and reduce overall costs by approximately 15 percent.

On July 16 this year, the first train in this province departed from Wujiashan Station, running along the multimodal international freight transportation route “China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan” in the format of mixed freight transportation by rail and highway.

In recent years, trade between Hubei Province and Central Asian countries has been growing. In 2021, China Railways Wuhan launched the first freight train service from Wuhan to Almaty. In April this year, freight trains from Wuhan to Central Asia were included in regular routes, achieving a monthly throughput of up to 440 standard containers (TEU, twenty-foot equivalent unit) and more than 7,500 tons of cargo.

In the first half of this year, Hubei Province's total foreign trade reached 402.31 billion yuan (about 55.97 US dollars), up 28.4 percent year on year. -0-

PHNOM PENH, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — Thailand's legal action against Cambodia on the issue of violating sovereignty by using military force is groundless, politically motivated and without foundation, Cham Soonri, State Secretary and spokesman for the Cambodian Foreign Ministry, said at a press conference on Wednesday.

According to him, such legal measures are completely baseless and represent a deliberate attempt to divert the attention of both domestic and international public opinion from Thailand's hostile policy towards Cambodia. "The accusations underlying the legal actions are baseless, politically motivated and have no credible basis," the diplomat said.

Cham Soonri noted that Cambodia firmly rejects the Thai claims and reiterates that it did not initiate hostile actions. Cambodia remains committed to peace, he said, adding that despite ongoing provocations, the country continues to abide by the ceasefire agreement.

“Cambodia urges Thailand to stop its disinformation campaign and/or hostile actions and return to constructive dialogue in the spirit of peaceful coexistence and ASEAN solidarity,” Cham Soonri stressed.

On Tuesday, Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Vechayachai instructed relevant agencies to prepare legal documents to file criminal and civil lawsuits against Cambodia at the national and international levels. He accused the neighboring country of using military force to violate Thailand's sovereignty, which resulted in significant loss of life and property among Thai civilians and military personnel.

On July 24, armed clashes broke out on a disputed section of the border between Cambodia and Thailand. The two ASEAN member states agreed to a ceasefire on July 28, which went into effect at midnight that same day. –0–

Participants of the Great Arctic Expedition met with guests of the Moscow 2030 forum at Gostiny Dvor

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As part of the forum-festival "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030" A meeting with the participants of the Great Arctic Expedition was held in Gostiny Dvor. Among them is the leader of the expedition, polar explorer Matvey Shparo, as well as the guys who will set off to conquer the Far North under his leadership – Ekaterina Egorshina from the volunteer builders' detachment and Sergey Bakharev from the explorers' detachment. This was reported by the press service of the capital's Department of Education and Science.

"The large Arctic expedition will last about two weeks. Moscow schoolchildren and college students, under the guidance of experienced polar explorers, will go to Cape Chelyuskin. This year, the expedition has two goals – to restore the memorial to polar explorers, which is located on the cape itself, and to collect scientific samples for leading Russian institutes. The results will be presented at a large-scale scientific conference. Thus, one group will travel about 100 kilometers along the coast of the Arctic Ocean in search of material for research, and the second will be engaged in restoration work at this time," said Matvey Shparo.

At the meeting, the participants talked about the peculiarities of this year's expedition. Thus, unlike previous years, the research team will cover the route on foot, not on skis. During the conversation, the responsibilities of volunteer builders were also discussed: the guests learned whether it is difficult to restore memorials in the conditions of the Far North and what difficulties are associated with this.

"Getting to the Arctic and starting to study it is one of my goals, because I want to become a polar explorer. I will have to master new skills, learn a lot to be useful in the expedition. My goals are close to my focus. I would like to make a geomorphological profile of the area. This is possible with the help of space images. I am very interested in learning what lies behind the mosses or lichens in the depths of the earth and what its structure is," said Sergey Bakharev, a student at School No. 171.

The expedition will involve 14 schoolchildren and college students who have passed a rigorous four-stage selection process: the Arctic Dictation, the adventure game “Heroes of the Arctic”, professional skills competitions and training camps in Karelia, where the participants covered a 60-kilometer route.

More than five thousand young Muscovites tested their knowledge in the Arctic DictationThe final stage of selection of schoolchildren and students for the Great Arctic Expedition has begun

As a result of the selection, the following students were selected for the expedition: Ilya Maslenkin, a student of the Moscow Educational Complex "West", as well as students Ekaterina Gulid from Food College No. 33, Sofia Taranenko from the Ivan Fedorov Moscow Publishing and Printing College, Ksenia Greb from the Hero of the Soviet Union M.F. Panova, Ekaterina Egorshina from College of Architecture, Design and Reengineering No. 26 and Polina Pavlova from Medical College No. 1. Among the schoolchildren participating were Mikhail Krasavin from School No. 57, Ivan Krivashin from School No. 1253, Sergei Bakharev from School No. 171, Mikhail Sorokin from School No. 1576, Kirill Fedotkin from School No. 2054, Lev Spiridonov from Pokrovsky Kvartal School, Maria Kazakova from School No. 2073 and Vladimir Kulakov from School No. 1577.

Metropolitan Department of Education and Science first organized the Great Arctic Expedition in 2018. In 2024, schoolchildren skied in the footsteps of the leader of the Russian Polar Expedition of the early 20th century Eduard Toll and Soviet scientist Ivan Papanin, and college students built a mobile station on Cape Chelyuskin. This year's expedition is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Earlier, 13 Moscow schoolchildren and college students traveled to Antarctica for the first time. In December 2024, the Moscow Youth Antarctic Expedition, organized by the Travel Laboratory additional education center, ended. Schoolchildren conducted research on assignment from research institutes, and college students supported the camp. During the trip, the young participants covered six routes over 63 kilometers long and took 96 samples.

About 80 thousand schoolchildren and college students are involved in tourism in the capital – every 20th student. The city project "The Route is Built" is in effect for them. Over the past year, the children have made almost 300 hiking trips around Russia and other countries – they visited Kazbek, Tien Shan, North Ossetia, Altai, Kamchatka and other destinations.

Moscow is a city where the technologies of the future are already being used today. Children play on modern sports grounds, use innovations in education, and use recommendations from artificial intelligence. Adults operate robots in production, move around the city in modern transport, receive advanced medical therapy, and do much more.

Even more technologies of the future can be found at the large-scale forum-festival "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030". It will be held as part of the "Summer in Moscow" project from August 1 to September 14. Dozens of venues will host cultural, sports, educational and other events dedicated to the development of one of the most modern megacities in the world. Information about the venues and a detailed program are available on the official website of the forum-festival Moskov 2030.mos.ru.
