A |     DES MOINES, Iowa -- Two commercial turkey farms in Iowa have been hit by the reemerging highly pathogenic bird flu, causing about 100,000 birds to be killed to prevent the disease from spreading.The Iowa Department of Agriculture reported the infected commercial poultry flocks within weeks of a turkey farm in South Dakota and one in Utah reporting the first outbreaks in the U.S. since April, raising concerns that more would follow. The U.S. Department of Agriculture shows 12 commercial flocks in South Dakota, Utah and Minnesota have been affected in October, totaling more than 500,000 birds.Bird flu last year cost U.S. poultry producers nearly 59 million birds across 47 states, including egg-laying chickens and turkeys and chickens raised for meat, making it the country’s deadliest outbreak ever, according to USDA figures. The outbreak caused spikes in egg and turkey prices for consumers and cost the government over $660 million.Iowa was the hardest-hit state last year, with nearly 16 million birds lost, but there hadn’t been a case reported in the state since March.Iowa's department reported Friday that one commercial turkey facility of about 50,000 birds in Buena Vista County was affected. Another facility of about 47,500 turkeys in neighboring Pocahontas County was confirmed Monday.In Guthrie County, about 50 backyard birds were also infected, the department said.Before last week, the only reports of bird flu in recent months in the U.S. in recent months were sporadic appearances in backyard flocks or among wild birds such as ducks, geese and eagles. While wild birds often show no symptoms of avian influenza, infections in them are a concern to the poultry industry as migration season gets underway. Migrating birds can spread the disease to vulnerable commercial flocks.Bird flu infections are relatively rare in humans and aren’t considered a food safety risk. But as it hits other species, including some mammals, scientists fear the virus could evolve to spread more easily among people. Cambodia this week reported its third human death from bird flu this year.。

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto spoke highly of China's development achievements and called for overall strategic cooperation with China during a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Defense Minister Dong Jun in Jakarta on Friday, according to a release from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Prabowo spoke highly of the role and achievements of the China-Indonesia Comprehensive Strategic Dialogue Mechanism and the "2+2" dialogue mechanism, saying that under President Xi Jinping's leadership, China has successfully lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and achieved remarkable progress in areas including the economy, science and technology, and defense, setting an example and providing valuable lessons for Global South countries.
Prabowo said China has treated Indonesia as an equal partner, showing mutual respect and providing Indonesia with valuable confidence and support. Indonesia looks forward to strengthening all-round strategic cooperation with China in politics, economy, science and technology, and other fields. 
He welcomed more Chinese companies to invest and operate in Indonesia, saying Jakarta will continue to provide a favorable business environment for Chinese enterprises and oppose attempts to create divisions or hype up issues with ulterior motives.
Prabowo also said he looks forward to attending the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Shenzhen in November this year to further strengthen strategic communication and coordination with China.
Wang Yi said that under Prabowo's leadership, Indonesia has overcome various challenges in recent years and entered a stage of accelerated national development. 
Wang said both China and Indonesia are committed to developing their economies and improving people's livelihoods, and no force can prevent China, Indonesia and other developing countries from continuing to rise.
Wang said China and Indonesia have strong complementary advantages and are reliable, long-term and stable partners in Indonesia's development process. China is willing and capable of helping Indonesia transform its resources into drivers of development, accelerate industrialization and modernization, and bring greater benefits to its people through deeper cooperation.
Wang added that the development of human society has shown that openness leads to progress while isolation results in decline. As the world faces increasing uncertainty and complex external challenges, China and Indonesia should strengthen unity, mutual trust and support, uphold open cooperation, safeguard common interests, advance their respective development and set an example of cooperation among Global South countries.
China is willing to work with Indonesia to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, as well as the outcomes of the first Conference of China-Indonesia Comprehensive Strategic Dialogue Mechanism and the second "2+2" dialogue mechanism meeting, while advancing cooperation in politics, economy, energy and minerals, defense, security and other areas, injecting new momentum into national development and contributing to regional peace and stability, Wang said.
The Second Ministerial Meeting of China-Indonesia Joint Foreign and Defense Ministerial Dialogue was held in Jakarta on Friday. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Defense Minister Dong Jun co-chaired the meeting with Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono and Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
