LJUBLJANA, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — Slovenia has sent its first batch of humanitarian aid for Gaza to Jordan, the country's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.

The aid, consisting of food and blankets from the Defense Department's stockpile, was delivered by a Spartan military cargo plane. Two more flights are planned, and all deliveries are expected to be completed by the end of August.

According to the department, the cargo arrived at a military airfield near Amman in Jordan.

Defence Minister Borut Sajovic stressed the importance of the operation, noting that civilians in Gaza have endured nearly two years of conflict with limited humanitarian aid reaching the enclave.

Earlier this month, the Slovenian government approved additional humanitarian aid for Gaza worth 870,500 euros (about $1.01 million), mostly in the form of food and blankets. –0–

In the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg, repair work on Khlopina Street has been completed. The issue of the need to renew the road surface was raised atpersonal reception of citizens, which the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov held on November 29, 2024. Then the city leadership was addressed by the Associate Professor of the Higher School of Public Administration, Deputy Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, Maxim Ivanov. On the instructions of the Governor, a large-scale set of measures was implemented to improve street infrastructure.

During the repair the following works were carried out:

More than 7,000 square meters of road surface and sidewalks were renewed; new thermoplastic markings were applied; speed bumps were installed to improve safety; curbstones were lowered to provide an accessible environment for people with limited mobility, elderly people, and parents with strollers.

The repairs were completed within the established timeframe and in compliance with the required quality standards.

The Governor of St. Petersburg noted that over 108 thousand people live within the boundaries of the Akademicheskoe municipal district, where Khlopina Street runs. The importance of the work carried out is also due to the fact that by the end of 2025, a major overhaul of Gzhatskaya Street, which intersects with Khlopina, will be completed. The new circuit will ensure movement around the microdistrict without exiting onto key highways – Grazhdansky Prospekt and Prospekt Nepokorennykh.

When we talk about the comfort and safety of the urban environment, it is important not only to develop initiatives in theory, but also to achieve their practical implementation. It is nice to see that our proposal was heard and implemented. This is an example of how science and government can work in the interests of society. Together – to a comfortable and safe St. Petersburg! Together we make the city better. Only forward! – said Maxim Ivanov.

The implementation of the project has become a vivid example of effective interaction between the government, the scientific community and citizens. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade and the Higher School of Public Administration continue to contribute to the development of the urban environment, and the student association "Public Administration Laboratory" demonstrates the practical significance of applied research in the field of state and municipal administration.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday criticized U.S. military maneuvers in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela.

All disputes must be resolved through dialogue, said K. Sheinbaum, repeating her government's call for "non-interference" and "self-determination of peoples."

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday he would mobilize 4.5 million civilian militias across the country to counter U.S. threats of war.

N. Maduro's statement followed statements by Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez, who accused Washington of trying to justify military action in the Caribbean under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking.

Earlier this month, US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Maduro on charges of involvement in international drug trafficking. –0–

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday denied reports that her government had reached an agreement with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to launch a joint operation against drug cartels.

"There is no agreement with the DEA. The DEA issued a statement, but we do not know on what basis. Neither we nor other /Mexican/ security services have reached any agreement with the DEA," the president said at a morning press conference.

“It’s important to be clear on this issue,” she said, “because any joint communication is made jointly. We do not endorse information released by a U.S. government agency without consultation with the Mexican government.”

K. Sheinbaum also noted that the governments of the two countries have been working for several months on a security agreement, coordinated by the Mexican Foreign Ministry.

According to her, the agreement will be signed soon. It is based on sovereignty, mutual trust, territorial respect and coordination without subordination, the Mexican president added. –0–
