The day began with state media extending its focus from the previous day's BRICS Summit, highlighting President Xi Jinping's proposals for multilateralism and global cooperation. Soon after, reports prominently featured Xi's meeting with Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, emphasizing high-level diplomatic engagement and setting a model for relations between different social systems. Concurrently, Xi's congratulatory message to Kim Jong Un on DPRK's National Day underscored the strategic importance of China-DPRK ties. By late morning, a significant domestic editorial priority emerged: Xi's message to special-post teachers nationwide. This message urged them to nurture capable youth for the socialist cause and extended Teacher's Day greetings, becoming a dominant theme throughout the afternoon.
