VICTORIA FALLS, Zimbabwe, July 28 (Xinhua) -- China remains committed to the protection of international wetlands and to fostering global partnerships through technological exchange and joint conservation efforts, a senior Chinese official said Sunday. Xia Jun, director general of the International Cooperation Department at China's National Forestry and Grassland Administration, made the remarks at a side event during the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, currently underway in the resort city of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Speaking at the session focused on accelerating global action for mangrove and wetland conservation, Xia emphasized the ecological importance of wetlands and underscored the need for strong international cooperation to ensure their protection. "This profound understanding underpins China's unwavering commitment to its conservation," he stressed. To advance international efforts in mangrove conservation and sustainable use, China launched the International Mangrove Center (IMC) in the southern city of Shenzhen in November 2024. Xia described the IMC as a landmark initiative that reflects the spirit of global cooperation. China remains steadfast in its commitment to sharing knowledge, technological innovations, and training expertise, while embracing the opportunity to learn from global counterparts, he said.

Nazaha chairs key session at global anti-graft forum
Kuwait chairs key session at 6th GLOBE-EYE Network meeting in Baku. - KUNA BAKU: Kuwait's Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) chaired a pivotal working session during the sixth meeting of the Global Anti-Corruption Enforcement Authorities Network (GLOBE-Eye), held in Baku, Azerbaijan, with broad international participation, Nazaha announced in a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Thursday. The session, titled 'Enhancing Cooperation: The Role of GLOBE-Eye Focal Points', was moderated by Dhari Buyabes, Observer of International Organizations and Conferences at Nazaha's International Cooperation Department. Discussions centered on operational strategies to activate the role of focal points as essential conduits between member states and the network's General Secretariat. Nazaha noted that the session also addressed key challenges facing focal points and underscored the need for capacity-building tools, including training programs and practical guidance materials, to bolster coordination and efficiency. Delegates exchanged expertise and tabled proposals to develop sustainable cooperation mechanisms within the network. In remarks to KUNA, Buyabes affirmed that Nazaha was among the first institutions to join GLOBE-Eye and has been actively involved since its inception — from its founding meetings and technical committees to contributing to the drafting of its charter — reflecting Kuwait's steadfast commitment to international anti-corruption efforts. Jude Al-Hajri, Senior Professional at Nazaha's International Cooperation Department, highlighted during her intervention the importance of equipping liaison officers with additional resources, such as explanatory guidelines and visual tools, to address recurring operational scenarios. She further proposed the establishment of online platforms to facilitate the exchange of queries and ideas, thereby streamlining communication and expediting the orientation of new officers. Al-Hajri noted that Kuwait's participation in the forum aligns with Nazaha's strategy to showcase national achievements on the global stage and reaffirm its dedication to implementing leading international standards in governance and transparency. The Kuwaiti delegation to the meeting is headed by Nazaha Vice Chairman Counselor Nawaf Al-Muhamel, accompanied by Minister Plenipotentiary Mahdi Al-Ajmi of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with several experts from Nazaha's International Cooperation Department. Throughout the meetings, Nazaha reiterated Kuwait's unwavering commitment to reinforcing global cooperation in combating corruption — particularly in addressing transnational crimes — as part of its institutional framework rooted in transparency and accountability. The GLOBE-Eye meetings, which continue until Friday, focus on enhancing coordination in the fight against cross-border corruption in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nazaha remains a founding member of the network, which was launched by the UN in 2021, and plays a prominent role within its technical teams, reinforcing Kuwait's active contribution to international anti-corruption initiatives and safeguarding the integrity of the global economy. — KUNA
