🇨🇳 The news that China may hold a third Belt and Road Forum is important, as the ambitious, gargantuan infrastructure program has proven its worth in a time of crisis, a scholar has explained to Sputnik.
💭 “I think that the ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative will aid to the building of bridges between Asia and the rest of the world. For example, the results of the initiatives have recently been reflected in relations between China and the European Union. After the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, some European countries became prejudiced toward China, with Sino-European relations hitting their worst-ever level in March. However, German Chancellor [Olaf] Scholz recently visited China and urged [Europe] not to separate from China, and French President Emmanuel Macron has also announced plans to visit China,” the scholar explained.

🗣 The comments made by Chair of the Senior Arctic Officials and Russian Ambassador-at-Large Nikolay Korchunov on media reports about US allegedly planning to have a claim on Wrangel Island:
▪️ Attempts by experts in the United States to present territorial claims to Russia on Wrangel Island are unproductive, these are extremist initiatives;
▪️ Russia's ownership of Wrangel Island, which the United States wanted to take away, is undeniable, such proposals are made for the sake of self-promotion;
▪️ Moscow will immediately respond if the United States seriously risks making territorial claims to Wrangel Island.

⚡️⚡️⚡️When asked by Sputnik at a news conference on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Bangkok whether the 🇺🇸 US, which focused a lot on anti-Russian rhetoric during G20 Indonesia events may exercise the same approach during its 2023 APEC chairmanship, 🇷🇺 Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov, who leads Russian delegation at the summit, has expressed cautious optimism. He said that in Kamala Harris's speech at the APEC handover ceremony on Saturday there were no anti-Russian statements. "The fact that the Americans did not mention the issues which they have been insistently raising recently in connection with Ukraine - I think it's a good sign" - Belousov added.

21 APEC member nations have agreed on the importance of transitioning to clean energy with additional focus on fair trade practices and on ensuring energy security. The final declaration of the Bangkok APEC summit also mentions Ukraine, with 🇺🇸Washinton's tough anti-🇷🇺Russian position being counter-balanced by the statement that there are other views and different assesments of the situation within the organization. Unlike G20 there was not much anti-Russian rhetoric in Bangkok and 🇹🇭 Thailand's officials seem to have done a lot to prevent possible confrontation on the Ukraine issue. Next year APEC will be chaired by the US, with Peru becoming the chair in 2024. Subscribe to @BolotskySputnik
