Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 9th. On October 9th, local time, the award ceremony for the 2026 UNESCO Girls and Women’s Education Prize was held in Paris, France. Peng Liyuan, wife of President Xi Jinping and UNESCO’s special envoy for promoting girls’ and women’s education, delivered a video speech to the award ceremony.

Peng Liyuan extended warm congratulations to the award-winning institutions from Morocco and Peru. She said that the educational level of girls and women is an important yardstick for measuring the progress of human civilization. In recent years, with the strong advocacy of UNESCO and the joint efforts of the international community, the global education of girls and women has made gratifying progress.

Peng Liyuan pointed out that China has always attached great importance to the education of girls and women, and has actively carried out practical cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and relevant parties, benefiting women in many countries. In recent years, China has used artificial intelligence technology to empower the high-quality development of education, effectively promote gender equality in education and the all-round development of women, and provide useful experience for countries in the global South to learn from. The development of education for girls and women has a long way to go. As UNESCO’s Special Envoy for the Promotion of Girls’ and Women’s Education, I call on the international community to work together to strengthen women’s vocational education and training, vigorously develop digital intelligence education for women, so that they can become users and beneficiaries of digital intelligence technology, and build a ladder for them to excel in life.

Peng Liyuan said that by developing education for girls and women, what we sow is hope, what we cultivate is dreams, and what we reap is happiness. I am willing to work with all parties to promote greater development of girls’ and women’s education and contribute to a better tomorrow for more women!

Since China cooperated with UNESCO to establish the Girls and Women’s Education Award in 2015, the award has continued to exert a positive influence and has received widespread attention and high praise from the international community.

Policy U-turn before midterm elections! Trump buys diesel from Putin, Zelensky criticizes

U.S. President Trump announced an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import millions of tons of diesel from Russia to reduce domestic fuel prices in the United States. This move was criticized by Ukrainian President Zelensky as a complete betrayal of Ukraine and its EU allies, and triggered strong condemnation from Democratic Senate leader Schumer and other cross-party lawmakers. The Kremlin confirmed the existence of the agreement and said it would have a positive impact on the global economy. The U.S. Treasury Department also issued a six-month temporary license to suspend sanctions on this batch of Russian diesel.

The situation in Yemen escalates. The United States is unable to open a new front. Saudi Arabia turns to many countries for help.

Yemen's Houthi armed forces said on the 9th that the Yemeni capital Sanaa was once again attacked by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not responded yet. The Saudi General Authority for Civil Aviation stated that Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport was attacked by two cruise missiles by the Houthi armed forces on the 8th, killing three Saudi citizens and injuring many others. Saudi Arabia is seeking military support from countries such as Turkey and Syria, but the United States only provides intelligence sharing and targeting support and refuses to directly attack the Houthi armed forces. Analysts say that protecting Saudi Arabia is not the current strategic priority of the United States. The US military resources are under pressure and are unwilling to open a new front in Yemen.
