China interested in strengthening bilateral cooperation with Ethiopia
The deputy head of the Chinese embassy here, Shen Qinmin, in statements to The Ethiopian Herald stressed the importance of varying bilateral collaboration towards political, economic, and educational sectors, among others. “We have a very close and growing economic and trade relationship with Ethiopia, which is a demonstration of the strong relations between the two countries,” he emphasized. Qinmin explained that China’s Belt and Road Initiative is among the revolutionary development programs implemented in Addis Ababa and beyond, a sign of the enormous potential for growth if properly exploited. Ethiopia and China have many things in common, including ancient civilization spanning more than three thousand years. The two nations also have common goals for development, prosperity and renaissance, which requires forging strong cooperation in various political, social and economic areas of mutual interest, he stressed.

Muslim World League to establish Al-Nejashi Mosque in Ethiopia
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen pledged 19 F-16s to Ukraine and said she hoped the first six could be handed over around New Year. Zelensky called the Dutch and Danish donations a “huge push for other countries who were in doubt” about providing Ukraine with F-16s. Zelensky declined to say how many Ukrainian pilots would undergo training in Denmark and later in Romania, citing security reasons. Russian air defenses also jammed a drone flying toward Moscow early Sunday, causing it to crash. Ukrainian authorities, who generally avoid commenting on attacks on Russian soil, didn’t say whether Ukraine had any involvement.

Dutch Disaster: Sifan Hassan, Femke Bol fall meters from gold medals at track worlds
BUDAPEST — It could have been the best night in Dutch history at the world track and field championships. Hassan and Femke Bol, the Netherlands’ two biggest track stars, fell to the track while leading the two finals on the first night of worlds. Hassan said the fall was not the result of any tiredness from running a 1500m first-round heat about six and a half hours earlier. Bol got up to cross in third place, but without the baton, so the Dutch were given a DNF. On July 23, Bol ran the third-fastest 400m hurdles in history to enter worlds as a prohibitive favorite in that event.
