On September 13th, it was reported that the summit originally scheduled for July 22nd, aimed at finalizing a reset agreement for the UK-EU relationship after Brexit, was postponed. The two sides subsequently quietly set the meeting date for November 6th. However, the Financial Times, citing two EU officials, stated that this date has now been postponed again, and the earliest it could be reached is the end of November. British officials insist that the summit should discuss new British Prime Minister Andy Burnhams concerns about the "Make in Europe" plan. This plan proposes prioritizing spending by some public sector and businesses on purchasing EU-made products, a move the British government fears will negatively impact British industries such as automobiles and chemicals.According to IRNA, sources say that sirens were sounded and explosions were heard in the southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait and Abha.Saudi Arabias Civil Defense: The danger alert for the Khamis Mushait region has been lifted.On September 13, Wang Yi stated that the visit was pragmatic, efficient, precisely targeted, and fruitful, achieving complete success and realizing three strategic goals. First, it enhanced the effectiveness of BRICS cooperation. Twenty years ago, Brazil, Russia, India, and China held their first foreign ministers meeting during the UN General Assembly, marking the beginning of BRICS cooperation. Guided by the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, the BRICS countries transformed their differences into a driving force for mutually beneficial cooperation, regarding their individual successes as the cornerstone of common development, forming a comprehensive and multi-layered cooperation framework, and becoming a veritable leading force in the Global South and the primary platform for South-South cooperation. Second, it empowered the Global South. The rise of the Global South is a clear sign of the great changes in the world. At the same time, the current international governance system is not adapted to the changing times; the representation and voice of the Global South countries are severely insufficient, and their legitimate demands have not received due attention. This imbalance has not only hindered the pace of development of developing countries but also weakened the international communitys ability to work together to address common challenges. The world expects BRICS countries to better represent and safeguard the common interests of the Global South and play a greater role in reforming and improving global governance. Thirdly, it guides China-India relations. Following the Kazan and Tianjin meetings, President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Modi held another bilateral meeting, which attracted widespread international attention. Under the strategic guidance of the two leaders, China-India relations have gradually emerged from their low point, moving from a "restart" to a "re-elevation," with cooperation lists continuously expanding, trade volume reaching new highs, and people-to-people exchanges becoming more active. The improvement and development of China-India relations is not only welcomed by the more than 2.8 billion people of both sides, but is also an essential aspect of strengthening cooperation in the Global South.Saudi Arabias Civil Defense has issued an emergency alert to Khamis Mushait and Abha, warning residents of potential dangers.

A recent agreement aimed at resolving demonstrations at the Cuajone copper mine prompted the corporation to dismiss accusations against protest leaders, despite a continuous blockage of the mine's railway, the firm claimed in a statement. Since February 28, production has been halted.


Separately, Peru's Energy Ministry said that it had signed an agreement with Southern Copper to begin discussions with local people.


"If we were to shut for a year, the government would lose approximately 3.1 billion soles ($830 million) in taxes and royalties, as well as 8,000 direct and indirect employment. That is precisely what we want to prevent "Southern Copper's statement was supplemented.


Peru is experiencing a surge of demonstrations from indigenous communities alleging that mining companies are failing to provide adequate employment and money to underprivileged indigenous people.


Adrian Armas, the central bank's deputy governor, said last week that protests at copper mines including MMG's Las Bambas and Southern Copper's Cuajone are weighing on the economy.


Peru is the world's second largest copper producer, and mining is a significant source of cash for the government.


Protests erupted against many mining corporations in Peru in July, when leftist President Pedro Castillo was elected with the support of the country's poor mining districts.
