BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhua) — In the two years since the launch of the China-Europe international freight train routes at Tongjiang Railway Port in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, a total of 285 freight trains have passed through the port, carrying 27,956 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) and handling more than 210,000 tons of freight, according to Zhongxinwang online portal.

The city of Tongjiang borders the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia. This border city is home to the only border crossing in Heilongjiang Province that is connected to Russia by water, road and rail transport.

The Tongjiang Railway Port began operations in November 2022. Since the first China-Europe freight train passed through the port in July 2023, a total of 18 China-Europe freight routes have been launched at the port, covering more than 20 Chinese cities. It carries electric vehicles, home appliances, consumer goods, etc. to Europe, and delivers high-quality European products such as corrugated paper, plywood, and sugar beet meal to the domestic market in the opposite direction, providing an efficient and stable logistics channel for Belt and Road countries.

In order to ensure the efficient movement of China-Europe trains, Tongjiang Customs actively cooperates with enterprises to identify their needs, implements a series of simplification measures to promptly inspect trains upon arrival and promptly pass them through immediately after completion of the procedure, and actively promotes the “railway express” mode, which can reduce customs clearance time by 1-2 days.

According to the data, as of July 28, since the beginning of 2025, 65 trains have passed through the Tongjiang checkpoint on the China-Europe routes, transporting 5,576 standard containers of cargo weighing 60.6 thousand tons, among which more than 60 percent of the containers have undergone customs clearance under the “railway express” mode. -0-

BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhua) — Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province has successfully completed its first trial import of meat products from Russia using a combined scheme along the cold chain transportation route by a special refrigerated vehicle under the TIR (International Road Transport) system – "TIR cold chain".

According to the Heilongjiang Daily, a special refrigerated truck recently delivered 19 tons of frozen chicken feet from Russia to the comprehensive bonded area of Harbin (the capital of Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China) under the TIR system. The cargo traveled from the Chelyabinsk Region of the Russian Federation through the Manzhouli automobile checkpoint (Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, North China), successfully passing customs clearance there.

The shipment, organized by Longyulian Company under the provincial transportation investment corporation, marked a breakthrough in creating a highly efficient logistics corridor for importing high-value-added perishable goods from Russia.

According to a representative of Longyulian, the cold chain truck covered a distance of 6,400 km in 7 days, ensuring door-to-door delivery while maintaining full sealing and prioritizing environmental friendliness. Compared with the return trips of freight trains and conventional road transportation, the aforementioned “TIR cold chain” transportation scheme has reduced the logistics costs of enterprises by about 10 percent.

The combined scheme “TIR cold chain” is distinguished by the level of transportation routing, high delivery speed, transportation of cargo without transshipment, prompt customs clearance and minimal cargo losses, which significantly reduces the cost of transportation. -0-

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 29 (Xinhua) — Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Monday urged the United States to reconsider proposed 50 percent tariffs on Brazilian goods set to take effect on Aug. 1, refusing to use the country's critical mineral resources as a bargaining chip in trade talks.

Speaking at the opening of a thermal power plant in the southeastern state of Rio de Janeiro, Lula da Silva criticized the tariffs as “sudden and unilateral” and rejected Washington’s proposal to include Brazil’s rare earth minerals in trade talks.

Brazil's president urged the United States to choose the "path of dialogue," noting that "this is what civilized countries do." He said the mineral resources belong to the Brazilian people, "and the people should have the right to enjoy the wealth they can bring, it's as simple as that."

Noting that only 30 percent of Brazil's mineral potential had been explored, L.I. Lula da Silva announced the creation of a commission to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the country's untapped mineral resources.

“We will allow companies to explore, but under our control,” he said, adding that companies that receive exploration permits will need government approval to sell resources or transfer rights to the areas where they lie. –0–

Bishkek, July 29 /Xinhua/ — The board of the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan has decided to raise the key rate by 25 basis points to 9.25 percent, the National Bank's website reported on Tuesday.

According to the data, inflation in Kyrgyzstan remains within moderate limits. The inflation rate since the beginning of 2025 was 4.6 percent, in annual terms – 8.7 percent. In the inflation structure, the largest price increase was observed in the food group of goods due to the influence of seasonal and temporary factors, as well as against the background of relatively high inflation in the countries-trading partners of Kyrgyzstan.

It is noted that economic conditions in Kyrgyzstan have not undergone significant changes. The country maintains high economic activity, while domestic demand continues to expand against the backdrop of rising incomes. There is also an increase in investment in fixed capital, both through private financing and through fiscal channel funds.

The situation on the foreign exchange market is stable, while the exchange rate remains flexible in the context of market formation of the balance of supply and demand for foreign currency. –0–

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

There have been more frequent cases of fraudulent actions aimed at illegally obtaining funds from individuals, in particular, applicants and their legal representatives submitting documents for admission to higher education institutions online.

Beware of fake sites!

Fraudsters place fake websites of higher education institutions on the Internet. Fake websites almost completely repeat the style, design and content of the main pages of official websites of higher education institutions.

Also, fake websites additionally host electronic payment systems that accept funds for services of higher education institutions (priority entrance examinations, payment of entrance fees, payment for trial testing services, etc.).

At the same time, fake sites may contain personal account services, services that implement online testing, as well as other services and forms that mislead potential victims.

In addition, scammers may enter into correspondence with a potential victim via email and telephone, offering to use paid services.

Recommendations for protection

In accordance with subparagraph "e" of paragraph 1 of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 1, 2022 No. 250 "On additional measures to ensure the information security of the Russian Federation" and in order to prevent the implementation of threats to information security, it is recommended:

When visiting official websites of government bodies, higher education institutions, and other official resources located on the Internet, check the address bar (URL address) of the specified resources for spelling errors (for example, https://minobrnauki.gov.ru is a correct address, and https://minobrnauki[.]ru is an incorrect address). Interrupt conversations with suspicious people and block contact numbers from which suspicious incoming calls are received. Do not tell anyone the secret code that comes in an SMS message from the State Services portal. Do not follow unknown links or download files contained in letters from unknown senders.

The eighth stream of training in the Unified Technology for Designing Solutions for Life Situations has started

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) – Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Its participants included teams representing 17 regional centers for optimization of public services "My Documents" (MFC), as well as teams from the "Central Bank" and JSC "Analytical Center" (a subordinate institution of Rossotrudnichestvo). They will have to immerse themselves in the basics of the Unified Technology for Designing Solutions for Life Situations of the Agency and the State Corporation "Rosatom" over the course of four days. Another organizer of the educational process will be the Center for Strategic Research. The training is being conducted on the initiative of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, and the Lipetsk Region is the host.

"In Russia, there is an example of a working digital platform that provides access to a huge number of public services, which is constantly evolving and improving. At the same time, there are requests for new tools and services that can also be transferred to an electronic format, making them more accessible and transparent. Lipetsk Oblast has experience in implementing electronic technologies using standardization and structuring of requests, which can also contribute to the development of new proposals for various life situations," Lipetsk Oblast Governor Igor Artamonov addressed the training participants.

The idea to create a model of a unified national system for managing project arrays “Strong Country: Unified Technology for Integrating Projects and Initiatives” was submitted by the Governor of the Lipetsk Region Igor Artamonov and was included in the top 100 ideas of the forum.

The model is aimed at improving the quality of life of citizens by increasing the efficiency of implementing projects and initiatives, as well as changing the paradigm of the system of interaction between government bodies and citizens by increasing the effectiveness and satisfaction with the solution of problems. The effects of implementing the model solution will be a reduction in duplication of processes in public administration, an increase in citizen satisfaction with services and savings in budget funds due to optimization.

A unified technology for designing solutions for life situations of ASI and Rosatom can become a key tool for the future model of a unified national system for managing project arrays.

"As part of the training, its participants will develop life situations using advanced optimization tools: service design and lean technologies. They will examine in detail the updated version of the federal register of public services FRGU 3.0, which will become a single source of reference data on all services provided in the country, and will become familiar with the functionality of the system in detail. The main result of the training is the formation of a systemic understanding of the tasks in creating a client-centric state and the digitalization of public services," commented State Secretary – Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Alexey Khersontsev.

It is expected that the training will improve the competencies of the RCO employees in various areas of their activities. For example, to optimize work processes, increase the level of human-centricity in the provision of services, and develop a description of the target state for state and municipal services (SMS). Using the Unified Technology, training participants will be able to analyze a state (municipal) service in order to improve the customer journey, as well as effectively transfer the provision of state and municipal services to the Unified State Services Portal to an electronic format.

"The main idea of creating regional optimization centers was initially to use the existing potential of highly qualified MFC employees and form competence centers from among them to help government agencies implement federal tasks to optimize public services. The ROCs met all expectations, and I admire their willingness to absorb new knowledge, pick up and test promising methods in order to stay on top!" – noted Natalia Yakovleva, Director of the MFC Development Center CSR.

Following the in-person training, teams from 17 constituent entities of the Russian Federation will work for 15 weeks to simplify the service provision scenario, reduce the number of interactions between citizens and departments, reduce the time it takes to provide services, and increase the demand for services.

The speakers of the program will be Andrey Kapalin, Director of ASI programs, Sergey Artemyev, Head of the project of JSC PSR of the State Corporation Rosatom, as well as Vyacheslav Nazarov, Head of the Department of Digital Transformation of Administrative Regulations of the Competence Center for Digital Transformation of Public Services of the CSR.

"Increasing citizens' satisfaction with the quality of public services is one of the Agency's key tasks, which was included in the new approved ASI Strategy until 2030. The training has already proven its effectiveness: socially significant projects based on human-centric principles are being launched in the regions. Involvement of departments in the Unified Technology project is an important step in continuing work on removing administrative barriers in obtaining key public services. The Unified Technology is already being used in the work of employment services, and now multifunctional centers will also receive our tool for work," explained ASI Program Director Andrey Kapalin.

Let us recall that 59 subjects have already completed training under the joint program with the State Corporation Rosatom "Unified Technology for Designing Solutions for Life Situations". The Federal Center for Competence in Employment has also joined the project: priority areas of work concern issues of employment of citizens returning from the SVO zone and their family members, as well as employment of young people – graduates of secondary specialized educational institutions and universities.

After the training, a solution accelerator is planned for three and a half months, then – the defense of projects before the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and their testing at the MFC in the regions. ASI and the State Corporation Rosatom provide methodological support for solutions. Some regions have already successfully launched their practices. Among them are solutions related to assistance to participants of the SVO, families with children and people with disabilities.
