英语新闻∣110克酸奶卖19元！“雪糕刺客”之后，又来了“酸奶土匪”……

AfterChina has seen a price hike in ice creams over recent years, which areplayfully nicknamed "ice cream assassins" by Chinesenetizens, here comes fancy yogurt that may also "stab" yourwallet. Wrapped in delicate and colorful packaging, yogurt in China has alsoskyrocketed in price, from 4 to 6 yuan, to around 10 to 20.

近年来，中国雪糕的价格一路飙升，中国网民戏称其为“雪糕刺客”。但现如今，各种五颜六色、包装精美的酸奶也可能会“刺穿”你的钱包，价格从你记忆中的4到6块，飙升到十几块。

Youwould end up being "stabbed unawares" by "ice cream assassins"by their prices because they seemingly look and taste the same despite thehigher costs. But these "superior" yogurts justify their costsand never hide their prices. Netizens hence mocked these new yogurts as "bandits".

相比起雪糕刺客对价格的遮遮掩掩，最后伤人于无形，酸奶却是大大方方，明码标价，童叟无欺，被网友笑称是“土匪”。

In just a few years, inaddition to some traditional brands like Mengniu, Yili, Sanyuan andbrightdairy, new comers of yogurt such as Kashi, Jianai, Lechun, Beihaimuchang,and oarmilk are emerging. How popular are these yogurt? There are more than3.32 million notes when searching yogurt on the Xiaohongshu, a well-likedsocial media platform in China. Most of those notes are about the evaluation ofvarious new types of yogurt, followed by the various yogurt-making tutorials.

短短几年，除蒙牛、伊利、三元、光明等传统品牌的酸奶外，卡士、简爱、乐纯、北海牧场、吾岛等酸奶新势力也渐渐崭露头角。这些酸奶有多红呢？在小红书上搜索酸奶，有超过332万笔记，以测评各种新式酸奶居多，紧跟其后的是用户分享酸奶碗的各种做法。

Why does yogurt become themarket "upstart"?

是什么原因令酸奶成为市场“新贵”呢？

For one thing, high-end yogurtoften requires only the simplest ingredients.

首先，高端的酸奶往往只需最简单的配料。

Elementslike "sugar free", "low fat", "highprotein" and "low carb" are often seen on the packagesof yogurt sold in China market. These elements contribute to a price rise. Ayogurt under the brand He Run, which claims to be “zero fat, zero sugar and highprotein”,costs 13.3 yuan for 100g.Meanwhile, ingredients like probiotics, caffeineand sodium hyaluronate are added to yogurt to answer customers’ demands in health and beauty.These are also factors that have impacts on pricing.

近年来，“零糖零脂”、“低糖低脂”、“高蛋白”、“低碳水”这些顺应消费者追求健康需求的元素成为酸奶包装上最常见的介绍，也成为加价砝码：如100克和润0脂0糖高蛋白希腊酸奶售价13.3元，110克的新希望致轻0蔗糖酸奶19.6元。另外，如益生菌、咖啡因和透明质酸钠等成分，也纷纷“入驻”酸奶。功能做了加法，价格也做了加法。

Inaddition, various new flavors and additional snacks, like dried fruit and crunchy oatflakes that are sold with yogurt, bring up the price as well. 

层出不穷的新口味、酸奶额外搭配配料包等操作也刺激着酸奶价格的上涨。

Yogurtthat sold in Blueglass, a brand dubbed the "Hermes of yogurt", ispriced at 25 to 45 yuan. A rising number of similar brands emerged in Beijing,Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen — all first-tier cities inChina. They sell yogurt in a way more or less like selling milk tea – with toppings like oatflakes, assorted fruits and jelly. Prices range from 15 to 30 yuan.

被誉为“酸奶中的爱马仕”的Blueglass品牌，一杯酸奶售价在25-45元不等。在北上广深这些一线城市里，大量相对小型的现制酸奶品牌也正出现在街头巷尾。它们用制作茶饮的方式去卖酸奶，商家会添加紫米、燕麦、水果颗粒等小料，定价多在15-30元区间。

中国人吃什么容易过敏？最新研究：海鲜、芒果和……

Chineseresearchers concluded a new study which shows that Chinese adults and childrenare more likely to be allergic to seafood, and less likely to be allergic to peanuts compared to people in theUnited States and Europe.

8月26日，中国疾控中心英文周报发布了一系列关于中国不同人群食物过敏的研究论文，其中一项研究得出结论：中国人更容易海鲜过敏，欧美人更容易花生过敏。

The study highlights an allergysurvey conducted in Jiangxi Province in 2020, which distributed 21,273 foodallergy screening questionnaires and involved 11,935 adults and 8,856children.

该研究重点介绍了2020年在我国江西省所做的过敏性调查，该调查共发放21273份食物过敏筛查问卷，涉及11935名成人和8856名儿童。

 According to the study, shrimp,mangos and shellfish are the top three common food allergens in China's Jiangxiprovince, followed by eggs, fish, beef, milk and mutton.

结果显示，江西人民的常见过敏原食物从高到低排序依次为虾、芒果、贝类、鸡蛋、鱼、牛肉、牛奶和羊肉，以动物源食物为主，与欧洲以花生、大豆为主有差异。

 This difference means thatdifferent cultures, diets, industrialisation and biological factors can allinfluence the allergy patterns of local people.

这一差异意味着不同地区的文化、饮食、工业化程度以及生物因素都会影响当地人民的过敏模式。

Chen Hongbing, a professor atNanchang University who was involved in the study, said the results were inline with reality and consistent with previousresearch.

南昌大学教授陈红兵参与了此项研究，他表示研究成果符合生活实际，与以往的研究结果一致。

 "For instance, in a previousstudy on self-reported food allergies among children, seafood topped the list,followed by fish, eggs, fruits and milk," he said.

陈教授称：“比如，以往的研究统计了儿童自我报告的食物过敏现象，发现常见的过敏源由高到低排序为：海鲜、鱼、蛋、水果和牛奶。”

Chen saidmore epidemiological research is needed to address these discrepancies and to determine if various dietaryhabits across China result in varied food sensitivity.

不过，他也表示，我们还需要更多流行病学研究来解释研究结果间的差异，同时判断中国各地的不同饮食习惯是否导致了食物过敏模式。

 In a separate study also publishedin China CDC Weekly last week, researchers found that the prevalence of food allergies in the populationwas 8 percent from 2009 to 2018, up from 5 percent from 1999 to 2008,"indicating that the prevalence of food allergies in China is on therise".

还有一篇着重分析总结了2000年至2021年关于中国人食物过敏的24项研究成果。相关研究成果显示， 2009年至2018年，食物过敏的流行率为8%，高于1999-2008年（5%），这表明中国食物过敏的流行率正在上升。

Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor at FudanUniversity's Huashan Hospital, said during an interview with media outletYXJ.org.cn that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observedworldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles, eating habits, as well as growinghealth awareness and diagnostic ability.

复旦大学华山医院一名医生接受《医学界》采访时表示，食物过敏率上升是一个全球性现象，这是由生活方式、饮食习惯的改变，以及人们健康意识的提高和医学诊断能力的进步所导致的。

 So how do you avoid food allergies?

那么，如何避免食物过敏呢？

Breastfeed your baby. Breastfeeding may reduce the risk of allergy and islinked to other health benefits.

尽量母乳喂养。母乳喂养可以减少过敏的风险，且对健康有益。

An allergy test can determine whether your body has an allergic reaction toa known substance.

怀疑有过敏症状，及时到医院进行过敏原测试。

Avoid your allergens and take your medicines as prescribed.

避免接触过敏原，出现症状时及时吃药遏制。

英语新闻︱费德勒宣布退役

Swiss tennis icon Roger Federer announced on Thursday that he will retire from Grand Slams and the ATP Tour after the Laver Cup next week.

瑞士男子网球名将费德勒15日在个人社交媒体上宣布将于下周在伦敦举行的拉沃尔杯后退役。

In a video posted on social media, the 20-time Grand Slam winner said that injuries and surgeries over the past three years have presented him with big challenges.

在社交媒体上发布的一段视频中，费德勒表示，过去三年的伤病和手术给他带来了巨大的挑战。

"I've worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body's capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear," said the legend, who has not played since Wimbledon last year.

“我努力恢复到最佳竞技状态，但我同样知道自己的身体能力和极限，它给我传达的信息非常明确。”费德勒自去年温网之后就再也没有参加过任何一场比赛。

"I am 41 years old. I have played more than 1,500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt," he added.

费德勒写道：“我已经41岁了。过去24年，我打了超过1500场比赛。网球给予了我太多，超乎了我的想象。”

Federer, widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, made his professional debut in 1998 at 16 years old, before winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003.

1998年，16岁的费德勒完成了他的职业生涯首秀。2003年，费德勒在温网赢得个人首个大满贯冠军奖杯。人们将他视作历史上最伟大的网球运动员之一。

After thanking his family, team members and fans, Federer said that retirement only means he will leave the Grand Slams and the ATP events, but he will "play more tennis in the future."

在告别信中，费德勒感谢了他的家人、团队和球迷，费德勒表示，退役只是意味着他不再参与大满贯和巡回赛，“将来还会继续打网球”。

The kids, the grandparents, the babysitter,maybe your favorite aunt or uncle. That’s it.

孩子、祖父母、保姆，也许还有你最亲的姑姑或叔叔。要送礼的人就这么多。

You can blame inflation for families knockingfriends, co-workers and extended families off your holiday gift lists thisyear.

今年美国家庭只能把朋友、同事和亲戚从节日送礼名单上移除，要怪就怪通货膨胀。

Persistent inflation – consumer pricesincreased by 8.5% in July over last year – has reshaped how Americans are budgeting foreveryday necessities and occasional indulgences. Prices are up for everythingfrom groceries to clothing, shoes, stationery items and more.

持续的通胀——7月消费者价格同比上涨8.5%——已经改变了美国人花费在日常必需品和偶尔放纵上的预算。从食品杂货到服装、鞋、文具等各种商品的价格都上涨了。

It’s also forced many households to tap intotheir savings or rack up more credit card debt just to keep up with the highercost of living. Over the past year, credit card debt has jumped by $100billion, or 13%, the biggest percentage increase in more than 20 years.

通胀导致的生活成本上升还迫使许多家庭为了维持生活而动用存款或欠下更多信用卡债务。过去一年来，美国的信用卡债务增加了1000亿美元，涨幅高达13%，创下20多年来的最大涨幅。

What does all this mean for the upcoming 2022holiday shopping season? Less. A lot less.

所有这些对即将到来的2022节日购物季意味着什么呢？意味着人们会减少开支，而且是大减。

It’ll be a stark contrast from last year’s robust holidayperformance, according to a new forecast from consulting firm Deloitte.

咨询公司德勤的最新预测显示，今年的节日销售业绩将与去年形成强烈反差。

It expects retail sales for the key year-endgift-buying months of November, December and January to increase 4% to 6%. Thiscompares with a robust 15.1% increase for the same time frame last year.

德勤预期年末送礼季（11月、12月和1月）的零售额将比其他月份增长4%到6%。相比之下，去年同期的增长幅度高达15.1%。

The projected sharp pullback from last year“reflects the slowdown in the economy,” Daniel Bachman, Deloitte’s US economicforecaster, said in a report. “Retail sales are likely to be further affectedby declining demand for durable consumer goods, which had been the centerpieceof pandemic spending.”

德勤的美国经济预测师丹尼尔·巴赫曼在一份报告中称，相比去年零售额大减“反映出经济正在减速。零售业的销售额可能还会进一步受到耐用消费品需求下降的影响，而耐用消费品一直是疫情支出的核心。”

The 15% growth in holiday shopping last seasonwas also largely due to the “uncommon circumstances surrounding thepandemic", namely the shift to spending on “things rather than experienceand the extra cash provided by the stimulus checks,” said Andrew Forman,associate professor of marketing, at Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb Schoolof Business.

霍夫斯特拉大学弗兰克扎布商学院的营销学副教授安德鲁·福曼指出，去年节日购物季15%的增幅很大程度上也是由于“和疫情有关的特殊情况”，人们转而购买“物品而非经历”，同时还因为人们在经济刺激计划中获得了额外的现金。

"This year’s shopping season is likely tobe challenging for retailers,” he said.

他说：“今年的购物季对于零售商而言将会不好过。”

Among the gifting categories that are stillexpected to do well this year are clothing, toys and gift cards. Spending inrestaurants, entertainment and travel should also perk up, said Rod Sides, vice chair with Deloitte and head of its USretail and distribution practice.

德勤副董事长兼美国零售批发业务负责人罗德·赛兹表示，今年仍将吃香的礼物类别是服装、玩具和礼品卡，餐厅、娱乐和旅游消费应该也会增加。

"Overall, there will still be sales growthbut it won’t be as dramatic as last year,” said Sides. “If there are fewer giftpurchases by consumers, expect to see even more holiday promotions than ever.”

赛兹说：“总体来看，销售额会增长，但不会像去年的增幅那么大。如果消费者购买的礼物减少了，那么节日的促销活动可能会比以往更多。”

Inflation won’t be the Grinch that completelystole Christmas, according to Neil Saunders, retail analyst and managingdirector at GlobalData Retail.

咨询机构GlobalDataRetail的零售业分析师兼常务董事尼尔·桑德斯表示，通胀不会完全“偷走”圣诞节。

"Gifting will remain an important part ofthe holidays, but consumers will be much more frugal and practical in their gift spending. That meanscutting back on gifting to non-family members such as colleagues or friends, sogifting circles will shrink,” he said.

他指出：“送礼仍会是节日的一个重要部分，但是消费者在送礼支出上会节俭务实得多。这意味着削减送给同事或朋友等非家庭成员的礼物，也就是说，送礼圈子将会缩小。”

If consumers are planning fewer gifts, theywill likely try to make them more meaningful, said Saunders.

桑德斯说，如果消费者计划送出的礼物变少，那么他们会努力让礼物更有意义。

"They will be keen to ensure they arethings that are wanted rather than fripperies that are a bit of a waste ofmoney. Practical gifts will be in, including the gifting of cash and gift cardsso that recipients can choose exactly what they want,” he said.

他说：“他们会确保礼物是对方想要的，而不是瞎花钱的华而不实的东西。包括现金和礼品卡在内的实用礼物将会成为首选，这样收礼者就可以选择自己真正想要的东西。”

One area where there won’t be much of acutback? Gifts for kids. Said Saunders, “Parents are always keen to pull outall the stops to ensure children have a great holiday.”

不太会缩水的礼物是哪一块呢？那就是给孩子的礼物。桑德斯说：“父母们总是愿意倾尽全力，让孩子们度过一个快乐的节日。”

英语新闻∣研究：走路可预防痴呆症，步速比步数更重要

Walking 3,800 to 9,800 steps a day may lower the risk of dementia in middle-aged and older adults, a new study suggests. Walking at a pace of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day was the most effective, reducing dementia risk by 62 per cent, the study showed. People who want to reduce their risk ofdementia should focus on walking speed rather than distance, researchers believe.

一项最新研究表明，每天步行3800到9800步可能会降低中老年人患痴呆症的风险。研究显示，每天以每分钟112步的速度行走30分钟效果是最好的，可将痴呆风险降低62%。研究人员认为，想要降低患痴呆症风险的人更应关注走路的速度，而不是走路的距离。

Want to reduce your risk for dementia? Slap on a step counter and starttallying your steps -- you'll need between 3,800 and 9,800 each day to reduce your risk of mental decline, according to a new study.
想降低患痴呆症的风险吗？一项新研究表明，每天走3800至9800步可降低智力退化的风险。

People between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years, the study found. Furthermore, people who walked with "purpose" -- at a pace over 40 steps a minute -- were able to cut their risk of dementia by 57% with just 6,315 steps a day.
研究发现，40岁至79岁之间每天走9826步的人在七年内患痴呆症的可能性降低50%。此外，那些以每分钟超过40步的速度走路锻炼的人每天只走6315步就能将患痴呆症的风险降低57%。

"It is abrisk walking activity, like a power walk," said study coauthor Borja del Pozo Cruz, an adjunct associate professor at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark, and senior researcher in health sciences for the University of Cadiz in Spain.
研究报告合著者、丹麦欧登塞南丹麦大学副教授、西班牙加的斯大学健康科学高级研究员博贾·德尔·波索·克鲁兹称：“这是一种轻快的健走锻炼。”

Even people who walked approximately 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk of dementia by 25%, the study found.
研究发现，每天以任意速度行走约3800步的人患痴呆症的风险也会降低25%。

"That would be enough, at first, forsedentary individuals," said del Pozo Cruz in an email.
克鲁兹在一封邮件中称：“对于久坐不动的人来说，这就足够了。”

"In fact, it is a message that doctors could use to motivate very sedentary older adults -- 4k steps is verydoable by many, even those that are less fit or do not feel very motivated," he added. "Perhaps, more active and fitter individuals should aim for 10k, where we see maximum effects."
“事实上，医生可以以此激励久坐不动的老年人。4000步对于许多人来说都是可以做到的，即使是身体不好或缺乏动力的人。也许，更积极、更健康的人应该以10000步为目标，这样效果最好。”

But there was a even more interesting result buried in the study, according to an editorial entitled "Is 112 the New 10,000?" published Tuesday in JAMA Neurology.
9月6日发表在《美国医学会神经学杂志》上的一篇评论文章称，研究中还隐藏着一个更有趣的发现。文章题目为《步速112和日行一万步的效果一样吗？》

The largest reduction in dementia risk -- 62% -- was achieved by people who walked at a very brisk pace of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day, the study found. Prior research has labeled 100 steps a minute (2.7 miles per hour) as a "brisk" or moderate level of intensity.
研究显示，那些每天以每分钟112步的速度行走30分钟的人痴呆风险降低最多，达62%。此前的研究将每分钟100步的步速定义为“轻松”或中等强度的锻炼。

The editorial argued that individuals looking to reduce their risk of dementia focus on their walking pace over their walked distance.
这篇评论认为，想降低痴呆风险的人应该注重步速而非步数。

"We do agree this is a very interesting finding," said del Pozo Cruz via email. "Our take is that intensity of stepping matters! Over and above volume. Technology could be use to track not only number of steps but also pace and so these types of metrics can also be incorporated in commercial watches. More research is needed on this."
克鲁兹在邮件中称：“这是一个非常有趣的发现。我们认为步速比步数更重要。不仅应该对步数进行监测，还可以开发监测步速的技术，将此应用到运动手表产品上。这方面需要更多的研究。”

英语新闻︱Xi eyes common growth in visits to Central Asia

Neighborly friendship, connectivity and common development stand out as key phrases used in both of President Xi Jinping's signed articles published by leading media outlets in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan on Tuesday.

9月13日，国家主席习近平在乌兹别克斯坦、哈萨克斯坦主要媒体发表署名文章，强调了睦邻友好、互联互通、互利共赢这几个关键词。

The two articles were published prior to Xi's Central Asia tour from Wednesday to Friday.

文章发表于习近平主席此次中亚之行前夕。

Xi will attend the 22nd meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Council of Heads of State in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and make state visits to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

习近平将出席在乌兹别克斯坦撒马尔罕举行的上海合作组织成员国元首理事会第二十二次会议，并对哈萨克斯坦共和国和乌兹别克斯坦共和国进行国事访问。

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and both Central Asian nations.

今年是中哈、中乌建交30周年。

In his article for Kazakh media, Xi recalled the past 30 years by pointing to the major strides made in bilateral ties, remarkable results in pragmatic cooperation, extensive infrastructure links built between the two countries, and their flourishing friendship.

在哈萨克斯坦媒体上发表的文章中，习近平回顾了过去的30年，指出中哈关系阔步向前，中哈合作成就斐然，中哈联通畅达四方，以及两国友好深入人心。

"We are friends to trust and partners to count on for each other, and our peoples always stand shoulder to shoulder with each other," Xi wrote.

习近平写道：“两国是彼此信赖的朋友和相互倚重的伙伴，两国人民永远肩并肩站在一起。”

He envisioned the two nations' further teamwork in bilateral and international contexts to boost growth, common security and global governance.

习近平希望，两国持续发展睦邻友好，不断深化互利合作，坚定捍卫共同安全，全面加强国际协作。

China would like to partner with Kazakhstan to remain pioneers in Belt and Road cooperation and cultivate new sources of growth such as artificial intelligence, big data, digital finance, e-commerce and green energy, he wrote.

习近平强调，中方愿同哈方一道，继续做共建“一带一路”的先行者，培育人工智能、大数据、数字金融、电子商务、绿色能源等领域新增长点。

In his article for Uzbek media, Xi said the two nations are "good friends sharing close affinity", "good partners pursuing common development", a "good example of dialogue between civilizations" and "good brothers supporting each other in times of need".

在乌兹别克斯坦媒体上发表的文章中，习近平提到，中乌是“彼此交心的好朋友”、“共同发展的好伙伴”、“文明对话的好榜样”、“相互帮扶的好兄弟”。

Bilateral trade exceeded $8 billion last year and "is on course to reach the $10 billion goal set for 2022", Xi wrote. 

习近平指出，2021年中乌双边贸易额超过80亿美元，“正朝着全年100亿美元的目标稳步迈进”。

"The two countries have rendered mutual support on issues concerning each other's core interests, supported each other's implementation of development strategies, drawn upon each other's experience of reform and opening-up, and injected positive energy into regional development," he wrote.

习近平还表示，两国“在涉及彼此核心利益问题上相互支持，在推进各自发展战略方面相互助力，在扩大改革开放方面互学互鉴，为地区发展不断注入正能量”。

The Central Asia trip is "China's most important head-of-state diplomatic event ahead of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China", Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Tuesday.

外交部发言人毛宁13日表示，中亚之行是“在中国共产党二十大召开前夕开展的一次最重要的元首外交活动”。

Mao noted that both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are friendly neighbors and comprehensive strategic partners of China, and they are key countries on the routes of the Belt and Road.

毛宁指出，哈萨克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦都是中国的友好近邻和全面战略伙伴，也是“一带一路”重要的沿线国家。

The state visits will introduce new blueprints, goals and impetus for China's bilateral ties with the two countries, showing that China's bilateral ties with the two countries are entering a new phase of development, she added.

毛宁表示，此次国事访问将为中哈、中乌关系发展擘画新蓝图、指明新目标、注入新动力，标志着中哈、中乌关系进入新的发展阶段。

In both of his articles, Xi highlighted the fact that next year marks the 10th anniversary of his putting forward the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative — a key component of the landmark Belt and Road Initiative — in Kazakhstan in 2013.

在这两篇署名文章中，习近平强调，明年是他2013年在哈萨克斯坦访问时提出建设“丝绸之路经济带”倡议10周年。

The BRI "has become a platform for international cooperation that is open, inclusive and mutually beneficial, promotes win-win cooperation and is a global public good widely welcomed by the international community", he noted.

习近平指出，共建“一带一路”已成为“开放包容、互利互惠、合作共赢的国际合作平台，是国际社会普遍欢迎的全球公共产品”。

He called for joint efforts to further put into action the Global Development Initiative — which he proposed last year and which has gained support from over 100 countries — so as to give impetus to world economic recovery.

习近平呼吁各方共同努力，推动全球发展倡议落地走实，为助推世界经济复苏作出贡献。自中方提出该倡议以来，迄今已有100多国表示支持。

In his article published in Uzbekistan, Xi also spoke highly of Uzbekistan's role as chairman of the SCO Samarkand Summit this year.

在乌兹别克斯坦媒体上发表的文章中，习近平还高度评价了乌兹别克斯坦担任上海合作组织轮值主席国以来作出的贡献。

He expressed his confidence that, with the joint efforts of all sides, the Samarkand Summit will produce "fruitful outcomes" and make a greater contribution to building an even closer SCO community with a shared future and to regional peace, stability, development and prosperity.

习近平表示，相信在各方共同努力下，撒马尔罕峰会一定会取得丰硕成果，为构建更加紧密的上海合作组织命运共同体，促进地区和平稳定、发展繁荣作出更大贡献。

At the SCO summit, Xi will exchange views with other attending leaders on "all-around cooperation within the SCO framework as well as major international and regional issues", according to Mao, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman.

外交部发言人毛宁表示，在上合组织峰会上，习近平主席将同其他的与会国家领导人一道，重点围绕“上合组织框架内全方位合作、重大国际和地区问题”等深入交换意见。

The SCO's role has been highlighted in securing regional security stability and promoting countries' development and prosperity amid profound changes in the global situation and the COVID-19 pandemic, she said.

毛宁指出，在国际形势深刻变化、新冠肺炎疫情延宕反复的背景下，上海合作组织在维护地区安全稳定和促进各国发展繁荣方面的作用进一步凸显。
