MEXICO CITY, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday rejected the possibility of a U.S. invasion of the country to combat drug cartels, stressing the importance of preserving national sovereignty and strengthening the country's unity.

At her daily press conference, K. Sheinbaum rejected the need for negotiations with US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly proposed sending troops to Mexico to combat drug trafficking.

Any security cooperation must be based on mutual respect, ensuring national sovereignty and cooperation without subordination, she stressed.

"I don't believe in an invasion. I don't even think they're taking it very seriously," the president said, noting that Trump had repeatedly insisted on sending American troops into the country, but her administration had resolutely refused.

According to her, the drug trafficking problem cannot be solved with the help of foreign military forces. The Mexican government is implementing a comprehensive counter-narcotics strategy based on strengthening national security agencies and addressing social problems.

The president emphasized that gun smuggling from the United States to Mexico is one of the main causes of violent crime in the country. However, the current administration has made progress in combating violence. According to official data, the homicide rate decreased by 37 percent between October 2024 and November 2025.

In addition, during this period, authorities seized more than 300 tons of drugs and shut down nearly 1,700 clandestine laboratories, noted K. Sheinbaum.

Mexico maintains active cooperation with the United States in areas such as training, information exchange, and other measures to combat drug trafficking, but this cooperation is carried out on the basis of mutual respect and without any subordination, the Mexican leader concluded. –0–

Ankara, January 6 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump, in a phone call that Venezuela should not be drawn into instability. He made this statement at a press conference on Monday following a cabinet meeting.

"We do not support any actions that violate political legitimacy and international law anywhere in the world," said R.T. Erdoğan. He emphasized that "violating the sovereign rights of countries and international law is a risky step that could lead to serious global complications."

"In our phone conversation with US President Trump, we also conveyed our country's concerns to him. We emphasized that Venezuela should not be drawn into instability," the head of state said.

“Regarding Venezuela, we strive to do what is best and right for both Turkey and the friendly Venezuelan people,” he said, adding that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the country’s people have always been friends of Turkey.

R.T. Erdogan warned that a global order dominated by the “right of might” rather than the “rule of law” would inevitably lead to instability, crises and conflicts.

Early Saturday morning, US forces launched airstrikes in Venezuela. They forcibly captured Maduro and his wife, who were then taken into custody in New York, sparking widespread condemnation.

HAIKOU, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) — Recently, 19.5 tons of fresh coconuts produced in Haikou, capital of South China's Hainan Province, were transported by road from Haikou to Belarus via the Alashankou port in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

This is the first export of fresh coconuts from Hainan Island to Belarus, demonstrating the expansion of agricultural trade between Hainan Province and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

This operation is being carried out by the international trading company Lianyue, based in Hainan Province, which also began supplying passion fruit to Belarus last year. This company has announced its readiness to export more tropical fruits and continue to develop the international market.

To ensure the smooth entry of fresh coconuts into the target market, the local customs service provided targeted support to the exporter by streamlining the inspection process and reducing customs clearance time. In the future, local customs will continue its efforts to simplify customs inspection procedures and facilitate the entry of more high-quality Hainan tropical agricultural products into the international market.

Moscow Transport: 2025 Results and Future Plans

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Moscow transport.

The past year, 2025, has been a year of large-scale transport and industrial transformation for Moscow. Under the leadership of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the city has fulfilled all its commitments to residents to develop the city's transport system and industrial potential. Comfort, safety, and the trust of Muscovites remain at the core of all decisions and projects.


Moscow transport. Moscow Metro.

The key result of the year was not the number of completed projects, but the growing trust of city residents in public transportation. Today, approximately 70% of all trips in Moscow are made on public transportation—one of the best rates in the world. More and more residents are choosing the metro, electric buses, trams, car sharing, and taxis, prioritizing convenience, reliability, and care.

In 2025, major infrastructure projects were completed in the capital. Modern, domestically produced "Moscow-2026" trains began operating on the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line, and the rolling stock on the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) was fully upgraded. A third route of unique electric ships began operating, and the fleet grew by more than 50%. Four new stations opened on the Troitskaya metro line.

The opening of Russia's first fully driverless tram was a landmark event. This innovative technology, once considered a future-proof feature, is already being used in everyday passenger travel without compromising comfort or safety.

2025 also marked a turning point for tram development. Moscow's first tram diameter, the T1, opened, operating as an overground metro with intervals of up to six minutes. The country's first autonomous trams, "Lvenok-Moscow," entered service.

Particular attention was paid to integrating the capital and the Moscow region. Twenty-five suburban ground routes have already been upgraded to the high standards of Moscow Transport, ensuring passengers a consistent quality of service regardless of their location.

Moscow remains one of the leaders in Russia for road safety. Despite its high population density and traffic flow, the city's social risk is several times lower than the Russian average. This work is based on the global Vision Zero concept, aimed at achieving zero road traffic fatalities.

The capital's industry is making a significant contribution to the development of the transport system. The first electric vessels have been laid down at the new Moscow Shipyard—a unique facility in Russia with a capacity to produce up to 40 vessels per year. By 2025, the city will receive over 500 modern electric buses, allowing Moscow to maintain its leadership in Europe in terms of the number of environmentally friendly urban transport vehicles.

The Technopolis Moscow special economic zone produces high-tech products for the medical, transportation, industrial, and space industries. Today, Moscow's industry provides stable employment for every tenth resident of the capital. More than 4,600 enterprises operate in the city, and private investment in fixed assets exceeded 5.2 trillion rubles in the first three quarters of 2025.

In 2026, Moscow will continue implementing its Development Strategy through 2030. Plans include expanding the city's rail network, opening the first section of the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya metro line, launching the second tram diameter (T2), and converting 15 trams to driverless mode. The renovation of the tram fleet and trains on the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line will be fully completed, and rolling stock replacement on the Yaroslavskoye line will continue. Plans also include launching a fourth regular river route and adding eight more electric vessels to the fleet.

All of these projects are not just infrastructure solutions, but real improvements in quality of life: convenience, safety, time savings, and increased trust among residents.

Moscow transport continues to operate for the city and its residents.

BEIJING, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) — The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) is committed to building a high-quality platform and providing comprehensive services for business cooperation between China and the Republic of Korea (ROK), CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin said Monday.

He made this statement at the China-South Korea Business Forum in Beijing, organized by CCPIT and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Korea (KCCI). The event was attended by approximately 400 government and business representatives from both countries.

China remains Kazakhstan's largest trading partner for 21 years in a row.

The fact that hundreds of business representatives gathered here at the very beginning of 2026, despite their busy schedules, speaks volumes about the high expectations that business circles have for economic cooperation between the two countries, said Choi Tae-won, Chairman of KCCI and SK Group.

China and the Republic of Korea should leverage their complementary advantages through industrial innovation and stable supply chains, and work together to explore new opportunities outside their markets, according to Chinese entrepreneurs participating in the forum.

Overall, they noted that while strengthening cooperation in traditional areas, both countries should tap the potential of new areas such as artificial intelligence, biopharmaceuticals and green industry.

People-to-people exchanges form the foundation for interstate exchanges and cooperation. Following the mutual simplification of visa regimes between China and the Republic of Korea, exchange visits between young people from the two countries are becoming increasingly active.

Cultural tours to Seoul and visits to Korean-style beauty salons have become popular among Chinese youth, while flights to Shanghai after work on Fridays have become a new trend among their South Korean peers.

According to Ren Hongbin, CCPIT is committed to promoting the healthy and sustainable development of economic relations between China and the ROK, bringing greater benefits to the two countries and their peoples, and opening up new prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation. -0-
