Dear Igor Anatolyevich! Dear friends!

Please accept my sincere congratulations on the 95th anniversary of the Saint Petersburg State University of Economics.

One of the key conditions for the country's modern development, ensuring its technological sovereignty, and achieving national goals is economic growth. This requires the training of highly qualified personnel capable of solving serious problems, generating compelling ideas, managing risks, and implementing large-scale projects. These are precisely the kinds of specialists trained at your renowned university, which always remains true to its motto: "Uniting the Best."

Today, SPbSUE is a major research and educational center, the country's leading economics university, where tradition successfully blends with innovation. Over the years, it has created a unique educational ecosystem, employing a practice-oriented approach to teaching, and actively conducting research and expert analysis.

The university is developing dynamically, occupying a leading position in national rankings. This is largely due to the professors and instructors who are dedicated to students, sharing their knowledge, experience, and skills with them, and instilling a love of the profession.

I am confident that the Saint Petersburg State University of Economics will not rest on its laurels and will continue to strengthen its high standing through tangible action.

I wish you continued success, new discoveries, good luck, and all the best. Happy holiday! Happy 95th birthday!

Beijing, September 25 (Xinhua) — China's nuclear policy is characterized by a high degree of stability, continuity, and predictability, Chinese Ministry of Defense spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang stated at a press conference on Thursday.

Zhang Xiaogang made the statement in response to a request to comment on the military parade recently held in China to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, where China for the first time demonstrated its "nuclear triad," including strategic land-, sea-, and air-based forces.

According to the official, China firmly adheres to a defensive nuclear strategy, strictly adhering to the no-first-use policy and committing not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or in nuclear-free zones.

Zhang Xiaogang noted that China always maintains its nuclear forces at the minimum level necessary to ensure national security and does not participate in any form of arms race.

“China’s nuclear weapons are intended solely for defense and self-defense, ensuring national strategic security, and protecting world peace and stability,” the official representative of the PRC Ministry of Defense emphasized. –0–

Beijing, September 25 (Xinhua) — The Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian, which is successfully conducting trials and training as planned, will be commissioned in the near future, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang announced on Thursday.

He made the statement while answering a journalist's question at a regular press conference.

Zhang Xiaogang noted that the J-15T, J-35 and KongJing-600 carrier-based aircraft successfully completed catapult takeoff and landing training on an aircraft carrier.

According to the official representative, the success of the training demonstrates the full functionality of the electromagnetic catapult takeoff and landing system on the aircraft carrier, which lays the foundation for the integration of various types of carrier-based aircraft within the aircraft carrier group and marks an important milestone in the development of Chinese aircraft carriers.

China's third aircraft carrier, Fujian, hull number 18, was launched in June 2022 and named after Fujian Province. Unlike the ski-jump decks of China's first two carriers, Liaoning and Shandong, Fujian has a flat flight deck. Its full displacement exceeds 80,000 tons.

Ilham Aliyev at the UN: Peace with Armenia opens a new era in Azerbaijan's history

September 25, 2025 UN

At the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev declared that his country had entered a "new era of peace and development" by ending a long-standing conflict with Armenia and signing a joint declaration with that country.

"We won both the war and the peace. We ended the occupation and began reconstruction. Justice prevailed, sovereignty was strengthened, and de facto peace was achieved," the head of state emphasized.

Peace process and regional integration

According to Aliyev, nearly 30 years of Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani territory resulted in the expulsion of a million Azerbaijanis and the destruction of hundreds of towns and villages. In 2020, the country restored its territorial integrity during a 44-day war.

The President recalled that peace negotiations, which began in 2022, were crowned with success in the summer of 2025: on August 8, at the White House, the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia initialed the text of the peace treaty, and Aliyev and the Armenian prime minister signed a joint declaration with the participation of US President Donald Trump.

He also noted that the OSCE Minsk Group had ceased to exist as an "obsolete mechanism" and highlighted the importance of a new transport corridor called the "Trump Path for International Peace and Prosperity" (the road is expected to pass through Armenia and connect Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic – editor's note).

Partnership with the United States and territorial restoration

The President of Azerbaijan emphasized that the strategic partnership with Washington opens new horizons for his country in politics, economics, energy, and security. He called the US administration's decision to lift sanctions imposed under Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act historic.

Aliyev also spoke about the large-scale reconstruction of liberated lands, where "more than 50,000 people already live, work, and study as part of the Great Return program." He also pointed out the serious problem of mine hazards: since 2020, over 400 people have been killed or injured by explosions.

Global challenges and climate

Turning to international issues, Aliyev noted the deteriorating environmental situation in the Caspian Sea and called on the Caspian states to join forces, emphasizing their readiness to cooperate with the UN.

He recalled that Azerbaijan hosted the COP29 Climate Conference in 2024, where the Baku Financing Targets were adopted – a new commitment by developed countries to allocate at least $300 billion annually for the climate needs of developing countries until 2035.

Energy and transport corridors

Aliyev emphasized Azerbaijan's role as a reliable partner in the energy sector: "We supply gas to 14 countries—a world record for the number of countries receiving gas via pipelines." At the same time, the country is developing renewable energy sources, planning to obtain 40 percent of its electricity from them by 2030.

He noted an increase in cargo transportation by almost 90 percent through the Middle Corridor and recalled the Digital Silk Road project, which will turn Azerbaijan into a regional digital hub.

Concluding his speech, Aliyev called for “building a world without double standards, where the rule of law is always respected, and peace is achieved not only in words, but also in deeds.”

September 25, 2025 UN

Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili addressed the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, emphasizing that his country, with its three-thousand-year history and unique culture, remains committed to peace, dialogue, and sustainable development. "Georgia's history is a chronicle of the struggle for survival, but we have always maintained humanism, tolerance, and justice," he said.

Support for Ukraine and Georgia's role in the region

Kavelashvili recalled the tragic consequences of the 2008 war and stated that the Georgian people "understand better than many the pain Ukraine is experiencing today." He reaffirmed his "firm and unwavering support for the Ukrainian people."

The President also noted his country's efforts to transform the South Caucasus from a conflict zone into an area of dialogue and cooperation. He welcomed initiatives to normalize relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as "efforts to quickly end the war between Russia and Ukraine."

Transit corridor and energy security

The Georgian leader paid special attention to his country's role as a "natural bridge between Europe and Asia." He announced large-scale projects within the Middle Corridor: railway modernization, the construction of a deep-water port in Anaklia, a new international airport in Tbilisi, and a submarine cable across the Black Sea. According to him, these projects "provide access to the sea for the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus and strengthen Europe's energy security."

Kavelashvili emphasized that Georgia is ready for constructive relations "with the largest economies – the United States, China, the European Union, and others," but will demand respect and "will never accept the language of ultimatums and threats."

Appeal to Abkhazia and South Ossetia

The president devoted a separate section of his speech to addressing his "Abkhazian and Ossetian brothers and sisters." He stated, "Our cultural code has not changed. For us, diversity is not a problem, but a formula for existence. We will always welcome our compatriots on the other side of the occupation line with an open heart and an outstretched hand." Kavelashvili expressed confidence that one day Georgians will live in a "united, happy, and developed country."

A Call for Reform of the Global Order

The President emphasized that the world is experiencing a "transitional moment when the future of the international order remains uncertain." He called on the UN to become "an inevitable alternative to war and the main guarantor of peace" and assured that Georgia is ready to engage in dialogue on global and regional security issues.

Ljubljana, September 25 (Xinhua) — The Slovenian government on Thursday declared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu persona non grata.

"The government unanimously adopted the resolution [regarding B. Netanyahu]," the cabinet said in a statement following its latest meeting. It noted that this decision will serve as "a clear signal to the State of Israel that Slovenia expects strict compliance with the decisions of international courts and the norms of international humanitarian law."

The Slovenian government recalled that in July 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled that a number of Israeli policies violated international humanitarian law.

Today's decision comes two months after Slovenia declared Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrič personae non gratae.

Slovenia, currently a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, officially recognized the State of Palestine in June 2024 and has repeatedly called for peace in the Gaza Strip. –0–
