The official (?) [translation](http://language.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201901/01/WS5c2ad70aa310d91214051e48.html) is only vague:

I wonder about what a close translation would look like. Judging from news reports, I take it that 吉好也求 is a name. Also 节列俄阿木 [seems](http://www.cac.gov.cn/2019-01/04/c_1123946182.htm) to be a name. Is it? Or does it refer to a "Russian(-Afghan?) section"?
