BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), Chinese authorities have taken a series of measures to ensure reasonable prices for medicines, Shi Zihai, deputy head of the National Medical Security Administration (NMSA), said on Thursday.

Shi Zihai presented the measures at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office.

According to him, since 2018, the country has conducted ten rounds of centralized procurement of medicines, covering 435 types of drugs. The centralized procurement program has become an effective means of curbing the overpricing of medicines, significantly alleviating the burden of the population in obtaining medicines, and also improving their quality and availability.

GUMO has also actively examined cases of improper pricing of medicines and called on the relevant pharmaceutical companies to correct their practices. To date, it has sent notices to 566 companies, requiring them to adjust prices for 726 medicines of different forms and specifications.

In addition, Shi Zihai said that measures have been taken to regulate prices of medicines both online and in regular pharmacies.

The official noted that some pharmaceutical companies, abusing their right to independent pricing, violated market order using methods such as offering kickbacks, monopolizing the market and controlling sales.

He assured that GUMO firmly supports and encourages medical innovation and high-quality development, respects the right of enterprises to independently set prices, and more effectively plays its role in managing drug pricing and maintaining normal market order. -0-

The first: a set of measures for the patriotic education of youth and the spiritual and moral education of youth in the Russian Federation. The second: recommendations for the implementation of the main directions of youth policy in Russia, including the logistical support for its implementation. And the third: recommendations for the organization of interdepartmental interaction between the executive bodies of the country's constituent entities in the implementation of youth policy."

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova noted the activity of universities participating in the development and discussion of documents: “For our part, we have also sent all the necessary materials for consideration to the expert community of the Government of Russia and plan to present the documentary results within the next month.”

At the initiative of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, the Department of State and Municipal Administration, together with the Department of Youth Policy and Educational Work of the State University of Management, developed a draft of recommendations for organizing interdepartmental interaction between executive bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in implementing youth policy to ensure consistency, eliminate duplication of powers, and ensure the effectiveness and systematicity of the work of government bodies at all levels.

Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Pavel Pavlovsky reported to the public council: “As for the mechanism of interdepartmental cooperation, here we have a number of specific points: establishing a clear procedure for exchanging information and recommendations, obliging regional departments to prepare and implement comprehensive measures to support young specialists aimed at their professional growth and career. Here we also include the development of measures for the professional self-determination of young people, support for gifted children, the creation and implementation of educational programs for patriotism and civic responsibility among young people, the organization of internships and practice for graduates of educational institutions, ensuring their participation in real work projects.”

The expert group of the State University of Management also proposed to develop a system of joint participation of different branches of government, institutions and organizations in the implementation of youth projects, to ensure openness and accessibility of information about all existing support measures and possible events, for which it is necessary to create one-stop services and digital platforms where young people could resolve any issues that arise.

At the end of the meeting, Artem Metelev noted that if the recommendations are accepted and regulations are developed on their basis, this will seriously simplify the work of government bodies, which will have a clear line in working with young people.

BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China and the European Union (EU) should adhere to openness and cooperation and properly handle differences.

Xi Jinping made the announcement during a meeting with European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who are in Beijing to attend the 25th China-EU leaders' meeting.

History and reality show that interdependence is not a risk and the intertwining of interests is not a threat, Xi Jinping said, noting that competitiveness cannot be enhanced by “erecting walls and creating barriers” – attempts to decouple and break chains can only lead to self-isolation.

The head of state stressed that “reducing dependence” should not lead to a reduction in cooperation between China and the EU. Bilateral trade and economic relations, which are essentially complementary and mutually beneficial, should and can achieve dynamic equilibrium through development, Xi Jinping said.

According to him, China's high-quality development and opening up have opened up new opportunities and new horizons for China-EU cooperation. Xi Jinping called on both sides to deepen green and digital partnerships and promote mutual investment cooperation.

Xi Jinping expressed hope that the EU will keep its trade and investment markets open, exercise restraint in using restrictive trade and economic instruments, and create a favorable business environment for Chinese enterprises willing to invest and do business in the EU. -0-

I am very glad to meet you again here in the Altai Republic at the International Environmental Conference, which is dedicated to the most pressing issues of environmental protection in the entire Eurasian region. Let's talk about natural phenomena, about ecology – there are many questions.

And of course, first of all, I would like to ask you to convey the kindest words of greetings to the President of Belarus, the respected Alexander Grigorievich Lukashenko, from the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and from me personally.

Dear Alexander Genrikhovich, we are in constant contact by phone. We have spoken several times in the last couple of weeks alone.

At the government level, in my opinion, systematic work has been established to implement the decisions made by our leaders, which are primarily based on the main areas of implementation of the Treaty on the Union State for 2024–2026.

Despite the unprecedented sanctions pressure from the collective West, our economic cooperation continues to strengthen. The share of machinery, equipment and high-tech products in our joint trade turnover is growing.

We already conduct over 90% of settlements in national currencies. All this helps protect our mutual trade and investments from negative external conditions.
