乌克兰农业部长：约30%的乌克兰农田面临水分短缺，导致冬季播种开始时间推迟。

Beijing, Sept 18 — Zhao Leji, chairman of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, and Wang Huning, chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, separately met Egyptian Senate President Farid. Both said President Xi’s historic visit to Egypt earlier this month produced broad consensus with Egyptian leaders and pledged to implement the leaders’ important agreements, deepen political trust, strengthen parliamentary exchanges, and expand practical cooperation to advance construction of a China‑Egypt community of shared future.

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Bullock told a parliamentary committee firms are increasingly forming a view that high inflation may not fall back below 3%. She said businesses are asking whether inflation will decline, which is a concern. Bullock reiterated the RBA’s dual mandate of full employment and a 2%-3% inflation target and warned the longer inflation stays above target, the greater the risk that inflation expectations begin to adjust upward. She said inflation risks are tilted to the upside, driven partly by concerns over expectations and by incoming supply shocks — including from the Middle East and weather-related events — alongside demand-side pressures.
