Chinese FM Wang Yi met with Secretary-General of the UAE Supreme National Security Council Ali Mohammed Hamad Al Shamsi in New Delhi. #China# stands ready to work with the #UAE# to maintain high-level exchanges, fully unlock the potential of bilateral cooperation, promote people-to-people exchanges, and advance bilateral relations to a higher level. As the US–Israel–Iran conflict moves toward dialogue, whether genuine peace can be achieved still depends on joint efforts by all parties. At present, three priorities should be focused on: 1️⃣ Relevant parties should commit to a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, and effectively implement the recently signed MoU. 2️⃣ Normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz should be restored as soon as possible, keeping this “lifeline” for regional development open. 3️⃣ Countries in the region should draw lessons from repeated turmoil in the Middle East, rebuild mutual trust, and explore a new regional security architecture suited to the evolving situation. 🔗

The main body of the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law of China follows a three-part structure: General Provisions—Specific Provisions—Supplementary Provisions. The General Provisions, placed at the beginning of the statute, set out core matters—including the legislative purpose, guiding principles, scope of application, and regulatory objectives—and play an overarching and guiding role throughout the #law#. #DeepChina# The General Provisions of the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law state that "the law is enacted in accordance with the Constitution for the purposes of promoting #ethnic# unity and progress, fostering a strong sense of the Chinese nation as one community, advancing the building of the Chinese nation as one community, and driving the accomplishment of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." The Specific Provisions are organized into five chapters that establish concrete stipulations on major matters, major systems, important principles, and basic #rules# for promoting ethnic unity and progress. For example, Chapter III, Promoting Exchange, Communication, and Integration, specifies goals and tasks such as building integrated community environments; improving conditions in which all ethnic groups live, learn, work, and share happy social life together; fostering #friendly#, #inclusive#, and #integrated# communities and online platforms adapted to regional circumstances; and strengthening mutual learning and integration among the cultures of all ethnic groups. Chapter IV, Promoting Common Prosperity and Development, provides that efforts should center on achieving common #prosperity# and development for all ethnic groups by accelerating high-quality and coordinated regional development in ethnic areas, promoting common prosperity for all ethnic groups, coordinating development and security, and jointly safeguarding border, resource and energy, food, and ecological security. And, Chapter VI, Legal Liability, stipulates that those who organize, plan, or carry out violent terrorist activities, ethnic separatist activities, or religious extremist activities—or who incite or finance such activities—shall be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law. #ChineseNation#
