(Central News Agency, Washington, 14th, comprehensive foreign news reports) U.S. President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr. Donald Trump Jr. and his new wife, Bettina Trump, confirmed today that their post-wedding celebrations were paid for by a wealthy Russian businessman with close ties to the Kremlin.

Agence France-Presse reported that the Downers Jr. and his wife jointly posted on Bettina's Instagram account, saying that their "dear friend" Umar Kremlev "very generously" hosted a two-night celebration for the two of them in the Bahamas in May.

The investigative news website ProPublica recently reported that Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the above-mentioned party, and the Donners later confirmed the news.

"This was an extremely generous wedding gift from a friend. We were so grateful at the time and are still deeply grateful today," Don Jr. and Bettina said in the post.

The post also read: "It is regrettable that something so personal and enjoyable can be interpreted as a political incident or something with ulterior motives simply because of the identity or background of a certain person involved."

Trump did not attend the wedding or celebration. He said he had to stay in Washington to participate in negotiations related to the Iran war and therefore could not be present.

Kremlev is the president of the International Boxing Association (IBA). The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has severed ties with IBA after repeatedly warning it over financial governance and ethical issues.

According to a press release issued by the IBA, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Kremlev the Order of Friendship in April this year.

Reasons for choosing the location of Pinglu Canal in Guangxi and analysis of water sources

As the first national-level canal project to connect the river and the sea since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Pinglu Canal is located in Guangxi, starting from the Pingtang River Estuary in Hengzhou, Nanning in the north, and entering the Beibu Gulf of Qinzhou in the south. The water source mainly comes from the Xijiang River system. It aims to open up a direct channel between the river and the sea, shorten the shipping distance to the sea in southwest China, reduce logistics costs, and become the core hub of the new land-sea channel in the west.
