A dragon boat race was carried out in Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires, to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, which falls on Jan. 22 this year. The traditional Chinese sport, which Argentinians deeply embrace for its competitive and collaborative nature, also strengthens the cultural bond between China and Argentina.

“I admire the tradition of Chinese culture in general because it is not easy to maintain the customs for so long. And the truth is that they are very traditional and very good,” said participant Mauricio Kluge.

Former boat team coach Carolina Beron added, “The sport is not only attractive in itself, but it takes you back to the historical period when our ancestors began to do this, and that fact is also attractive.”

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.

The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.

Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.

Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
