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.”

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.

Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.

Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.

Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
