“Russia continues to demonstrate growth in popularity among foreign tourists, which is due to the creation of tourism infrastructure and the introduction of simplified entry mechanisms,” said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, commenting on the bill adopted by the State Duma, expanding the possibilities of a single electronic visa for entry into Russia.

According to the document, the visa validity period has been increased from 60 to 120 days from the date of issue, and the permitted period of stay for foreign citizens in the country has increased from 16 to 30 days.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that extending the validity of the electronic visa and increasing the permitted period of stay in Russia is an important step towards foreign tourists.

"Our country is becoming increasingly popular with guests from abroad. Last year, the country was visited by more than 5 million foreign tourists, which is 30% more than the previous year. We see that foreign guests are increasingly using simplified entry mechanisms – applying for electronic visas. Over the first five months of 2025, more than 230 thousand foreign tourists entered the country using it, and in total, 940 thousand people used it during the period of operation of the mechanism. The new measures will make Russia even more accessible to international travelers and strengthen the country's position in the global tourism market," Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized.

Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development, added: "The Ministry of Economic Development is systematically working to increase the attractiveness of Russia for foreign tourists. An electronic visa is one of the important mechanisms for simplified entry for tourists. The next step, which is currently being considered, is the possibility of its multiple use."

Let us recall that the platform for issuing unified electronic visas was launched on August 1, 2023 for citizens of 64 countries.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and Cambodian Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhon met here on Thursday. They pledged to further strengthen bilateral ties and cooperation based on mutual benefit.

Wang Yi said that China-Cambodia friendship has stood the test of international vicissitudes and is as strong as a rock.

According to him, in April this year, the leaders of the two countries jointly announced the establishment of an all-weather China-Cambodia community with a shared future in the new era.

Wang Yi said China and Cambodia should strengthen cooperation under the three global initiatives put forward by China, expand the bilateral cooperation mechanism "Diamond Hexagon", implement the cooperation plans "Industrial Development Corridor" and "Fish and Rice Corridor", and promote the implementation of early impact projects.

He expressed hope that the two sides will take more powerful and effective measures to resolutely suppress cross-border crimes such as online gambling, counterfeiting and smuggling, and ensure the security of the two peoples.

Wang Yi stressed that the United States' imposition of high tariffs on Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries is an attempt to deprive these countries of their legitimate right to development.

“I am confident that Southeast Asian countries are capable of handling difficult situations, adhering to principled positions and protecting their own interests and the common interests of all parties,” he said.

P. Sokhon said China is Cambodia's most reliable friend. The two leaders have decided to build an all-weather Cambodia-China community with a shared future in the new era, he said, adding that Cambodia firmly supports the three global initiatives put forward by China.

The Foreign Minister thanked China for its selfless assistance in the socio-economic development of Cambodia.

P. Sokhon added that Cambodia is willing to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, deepen practical cooperation in trade, infrastructure and other areas, and jointly combat transnational crimes such as online gambling and fraud.

He also thanked China for granting Cambodia a zero tariff regime for 100 percent of tariffed goods. According to the foreign minister, this is a move by a friend and brother that greatly helps Cambodia and is in sharp contrast to the 36 percent tariff imposed by the United States.

P. Sokhon said Cambodia is ready to resolve differences with the United States through negotiations, but will not compromise its own principles and interests or those of third parties.

P. Sokhon also briefed Wang Yi on the situation on the Cambodia-Thai border. The Chinese minister said that although the positions of Cambodia and Thailand are different, both sides are willing to control the situation and resolve it. He said that Cambodia and Thailand are neighbors that cannot be separated.

"I believe they can properly handle this issue in the spirit of caring for peace and good-neighborliness," Wang said. "China will maintain an impartial and fair position, respond to the needs of parties concerned and play a constructive role in this regard," he added. -0-

On July 11, 2025, a meeting of the Public Expert Council on Socio-Economic Forecasting and Planning was held jointly with the Board of Trustees of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences on the topic: "Scientific, technological, spatial and transport development of the country and management issues", in which the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev took part.

The meeting was chaired by the coordinator of the Public Expert Council for Socioeconomic Forecasting and Planning, head of the "A Just Russia – For Truth" faction in the State Duma, Sergei Mironov. The co-chair was the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Sergei Stepashin.

The meeting heard 10 reports, including from the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev, the president of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, a graduate of the State University of Management Petr Burak, the deputy president of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Ivanov and other experts.

Vladimir Stroyev shared with the audience the experience of the State University of Management in implementing new approaches to scientific and educational policy in universities. The rector spoke about the principle of practice-oriented seamless project-based education implemented at SUM, the policy of attracting new research staff and technical specialists, cooperation with industrial partners and government agencies. Separately, the expansion of the university's material and technical base, the opening of new laboratories and the work of the student design bureau were mentioned.

“I would like to emphasize that our university now has a unique experience – relying on many years of engineering and economic history, we are to some extent rethinking the role of the State University of Management in the system of higher education: due to the integration of technical sciences into the educational process and taking into account the project-oriented approach, the State University of Management is becoming not just a managerial, but also an engineering and economic one,” Vladimir Vitalyevich summarized.

Having heard and discussed the reports, the participants of the meeting noted that the main strategic task of the country's development, which requires the maximum concentration of resources, both material, financial and human, is to ensure harmonious sustainable development, dynamic improvement of the quality of life, ensuring national sovereignty and security. This can be achieved only with the presence of our own high-tech competitive scientific, technological and industrial complex, based on advanced fundamental science and operating in the full innovation cycle mode.

An urgent task is to form a comprehensive system of public administration of the country's scientific and technological complex, adapted to existing realities, focused on ensuring technological sovereignty, designed to create a technological foundation for achieving national goals, national security, and to ensure the country's entry into the ranks of states that are global technological leaders in most areas.

First-year student of the RUDN Medical Institute is a prize winner of the All-Russian competition "Roads to Rome"

What do the RUDN University General Medicine program and the Saratov State University Department of Russian and Foreign Literature have in common? Medical terms in Latin, encrypted in puzzles and a crossword by our student Violetta Jacqueline Flont.

The creative project of a first-year student of the medical institute took third place in the IV All-Russian competition of student scientific, educational and creative works "Roads to Rome". The competition, which was held by the Saratov university, was dedicated to the culture and history of antiquity and was timed to coincide with the birthday of the capital of Italy.

"Of the four nominations, I chose "Aenigmata (riddles)" because I love creative tasks that require unconventional thinking and a combination of logic and creativity. I selected medical terms for the rebuses and crossword puzzles based on several criteria: so that they were understandable to a wide audience, but at the same time interesting enough and aroused curiosity. I also took into account the possibility of visualizing the word in the rebus – I looked for words that can be broken down into parts or presented through images. And I tried to include terms related to the theme of the competition, for example, travel or the history of medicine," – Violetta Jacqueline Flönt (General Medicine, 1st year).

In total, she used 40 concepts in her work to describe the human body, among which were the words: cerebellum (cerebellum), ventriculus (stomach) and scapula (shoulder blade).

Deep into history

In preparation for the competition, the student found references to medicinal herbs and medical instruments from Ancient Rome in old books in the library. She also read materials on specialized forums and articles on medical terminology in Latin. Some words, such as “catheter,” have roots in antiquity, which added depth to her puzzles. Violetta noted that the most difficult to visualize were long and complex medical terms, such as “hypothermia” or “antiseptic.” For “hypothermia,” the contestant had to convey the idea of “low temperature” through simple images, which required breaking the word into parts (“hypo” and “thermia”) and searching for associations, such as ice or a thermometer.

"The knowledge I gained helped me better understand medical terminology and its etymology, which will be useful if I choose a profession related to medicine or science. Working on puzzles and crosswords developed the skills of structuring information and a creative approach to problem solving, which will be useful in any analytical or creative activity. In addition, I learned how to work with sources, check their reliability and adapt complex concepts for a wide audience – these are universal skills that will help in communication and project work in the future," – Violetta Jacklin Fleunt (General Medicine, 1st year).

Exclusive: The Chinese model is a model of peace, development and respect for civilizational diversity – Chairman of the People's Party of Kazakhstan E. Yertysbayev

BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) — The Chinese model is a model of peace, development and respect for civilizational diversity, Chairman of the People's Party of Kazakhstan Yermukhamet Yertysbayev told Xinhua on Friday on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting of the Global Dialogue of Civilizations.

"Chinese policy is diametrically different from the policy of Western countries. The West sells or imposes on other countries not cooperation, but subordination and protection of its own interests at their expense. China advocates equal partnership, common development and prosperity," said E. Yertysbayev, noting that this is the wisdom of a great civilization and great culture that has been around for thousands of years.

E. Yertysbayev stated that, given the events that have taken place since the end of the 20th century, there is something to compare with. “China is building roads, ports, universities and cultural centers… China is bringing new technologies and education to other countries, not provocations and color revolutions. Instead of sanctions – investments. Instead of ultimatums – partnership. Instead of ideological dictate – acceptance of the diversity of cultures of different ethnic groups,” he explained.

The politician cited the Belt and Road Initiative as an example, which, according to him, is a gigantic mega-project of the 21st century. “I would like to note that the main thing here is not even the economic component, but the new, amazing and stunning ethical side of the project’s implementation,” he emphasized.

As noted by E. Yertysbayev, the international transport corridor that China is creating is a full-fledged economic foundation for an absolutely new model of international cooperation and development. “Each partner country is a link in the general system, part of a single practical mechanism “Belt and Road”, working for the benefit of all participating states,” he said.

The agency's interlocutor is convinced that, in addition to the economy, the Belt and Road initiative makes a huge contribution to the dialogue and rapprochement of civilizations from Beijing to the Middle East, from the Yellow Sea in China to the Mediterranean Sea in Europe. "This is not just an economic corridor, but a civilizational bridge connecting the East and West, North and South. This is a dialogue of cultures, and not the imposition of foreign conditions," Yertysbayev emphasized.

"Our generation must pass a maturity test. Will we be able to build a world where every nation is respected? Will we be able to understand and accept others' cultures while preserving our own? Will we be able to create a world of equal civilizations together? The People's Republic of China is showing us a worthy example of this," he concluded.

The Ministerial Meeting of the Global Dialogue of Civilizations on “Preserving the Diversity of Human Civilizations for World Peace and Development” is being held in Beijing on July 10-11. The event is attended by over 600 guests from about 140 countries and territories. –0–
