3 December 2025

Participants take part in a rally organized in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 3, 2025, to observe the 34th International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Observed annually on December 3 since 1992 at the initiative of the United Nations, the day aims to promote the rights of persons with disabilities worldwide. This year's national slogan is ''Promoting a Disability-Inclusive Society: Enhancing Social Progress.'' The day serves as a reminder of the global commitment to ensuring the rights, equality, inclusion, and dignity of persons with disabilities. There is a growing need to create disability-friendly physical infrastructure and environments, such as accessible offices, schools, public vehicles, roads, parks, monasteries, temples, and other public and private buildings, to better address the needs of persons with disabilities. While the Constitution of Nepal guarantees the right of persons with disabilities to live with dignity, self-respect, and equal access to public services and facilities, advocates continue to call for more effective implementation of these provisions in practice.

People are buying Thai durians at an international logistics center for agricultural products in Nanning, China, on May 20, 2024. At present, durian, known as the ''king of fruits'' in eastern Thailand, is entering the picking season, and the durian is entering the Chinese market through Guangxi, causing the price to fall due to the increase in supply. In recent years, thanks to the effective implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and efficient and convenient customs clearance transportation channels, Southeast Asian tropical fruits, including durians, are entering Chinese households at ''close to the people'' prices, and consumer demand in China is continuing to be strong. Data show that in the first quarter of 2024, China is importing 48,000 tons of fresh durians through Youyi Pass port, worth 1.85 billion yuan. With the deepening of China-Asean regional cooperation, the fruit trade between China and ASEAN countries is continuing to be hot.
