JAKARTA, July 30 (Xinhua) — The Indonesian government is pushing ahead with a study on a proposal to extend the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail line to Surabaya to speed up integrated and efficient mobility across Java island, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoynaw said on Tuesday.

The proposed project will build on the success of the existing Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail line.

“President Prabowo Subianto has given a clear direction to extend the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway to Surabaya. This is more than just an extension; it is a bold vision to connect Jakarta and Surabaya through faster, cleaner and more integrated transport,” said A.H. Yudhoyno at the opening of the Indonesia RailwayTech 2025 exhibition in Jakarta.

"We are preparing a new regulatory framework to implement this idea. This could be a real breakthrough, significantly reducing travel time, increasing efficiency and bringing broad economic benefits by connecting cities, industries and ports across Java," he added.

The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail has attracted much public attention since it began commercial operations in October 2023, cutting travel time between Indonesia's largest city, Jakarta, and Bandung in West Java from more than three hours to just 46 minutes. –0–

WASHINGTON, July 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has given Moscow a 10-day "deadline" to end the conflict with Ukraine, shortening the 50-day period he had outlined two weeks ago.

Russia has “10 days from today” to reach a ceasefire, Trump told reporters on his way back to Washington after a visit to Scotland, or he would be willing to “put tariffs and stuff.”

On July 14, the US president threatened Russia with “harsh tariffs” if it did not agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine within 50 days. On Monday, during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he shortened the deadline to “10 or 12 days,” citing frustration with Moscow’s “unwillingness to compromise.”

The Kremlin responded that it had taken note of D. Trump's statement and would continue its actions in Ukraine. "The special military operation is ongoing, and we also remain committed to the peace process to resolve the conflict around Ukraine and ensure our interests in the course of this settlement," Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. -0-

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — Preserving historical memory is the mission of today's youth, said Leonid Petukhin, deputy chairman of the Russian-Chinese Friendship Society (RCFS), while leading the RCFS delegation at the World Youth Conference for Peace held in Beijing on Tuesday.

The event was held to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations under the motto “Together for Peace.” More than 3,000 people took part, including youth representatives from over 130 countries and various circles in China, as well as foreign students studying in China.

"World War II, the Great Patriotic War and the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression affected every family in both Russia and China. And today we celebrate the 80th anniversary of our victory. First of all, we must remember the price that both our countries paid. After all, we are talking about tens of millions of dead," L. Petukhin noted.

“And the mission of today’s youth, in addition to building a happy future, is to remember the enormous losses and heroism of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, what they did to save this world. And as youth, we will continue this history and this mission,” he added.

Following the conference, the World Youth Peace Initiative was published, calling on young people to be defenders of peace throughout the world, pioneers in inter-civilizational dialogue, supporters of mutually beneficial cooperation, and to become participants in the fight against climate change and supporters of science and technology for good.

During the document release ceremony, L. Petukhin and representatives of other countries read it out in parts on stage in different languages.

“Peace means creating an environment in which every young person can realize their potential, because every young person deserves a chance to do their best to achieve what they want and to show the world what they can do. So I am convinced that the meaning of peace is to ensure that the voice of every young person is heard,” shared the vice-chairman of the ORKD.

"The world is filled with different civilizations and cultures. In order to establish a proper dialogue between us, we must, first of all, understand each other. Without mutual understanding, there will be no success and no successful cooperation," he added.

Let us recall that at the invitation of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), from July 21 to 28, L. Petukhin, at the head of a Russian delegation of 15 people, including young teachers, students, and artists from 10 regions of Russia, took part in the 5th tour “Youth of Russia and China Walk the Road of Friendship”, visiting various places in China, including the cities of Jiujiang (Jiangxi Province, East China), Xiangtan and Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (Hunan Province, Central China).

The World Youth Conference for Peace was organized by the CNDH jointly with the All-China Youth Federation. -0-

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — China's YH-1000 unmanned cargo aircraft recently completed a cargo test flight in complex terrain, marking a milestone for its future commercial operation.

The YH-1000 aircraft, developed by the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), made the flight on July 28 along a 134-kilometer route connecting the Liangping and Wulong districts of southwest China's Chongqing city, Science and Technology Daily reported.

At 7:47 on July 28, a YH-1000 aircraft carrying a cargo container took off from Liangping Airport, and more than an hour later, it made a smooth landing at Xiannushan Airport in Wulong District. After unloading and loading the cargo, the aircraft departed at 9:47, landing at Liangping Airport at 11:02.

The aircraft flew over five mountain peaks, each of which is over 1,000 meters high, and also crossed the territory above the Wujiang Canyon and the Yangtze River waterway, thus passing a full-scale test of its ability to fly with cargo, fly across regions and return autonomously in the complex mountainous terrain of the Yangtze River basin.

According to a person in charge of the YH-1000 development team, the recent test flight of the drone shows that the YH-1000 has the technical capabilities required for commercial use. In the future, its trial operation will be promoted, thus giving new impetus to the rapid development of the “low-altitude economy” in the western region of China.

The YH-1000 aircraft project started in June 2024 and its maiden flight took place on May 22, 2025. With outstanding capabilities such as ultra-short takeoff and landing and strong adaptability to harsh operating environments, it can take off and land on roads, hard ground and grass surfaces, which will greatly expand the application possibilities of unmanned cargo aircraft.

The YH-1000 aircraft has a payload capacity of over 1,000 kg, a maximum operating altitude of 8,000 meters, and a flight duration of 10 hours. The new drone will enable low-cost and fast cargo transportation between cities and remote areas, as well as improve logistics communications in the central and western regions of the country.
