For the first time, visitors to the International Orchid Fair will be able to see orchids in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, which were produced in Taiwan using special nanotechnology. Orchid production in Taiwan plays a significant role in agricultural exports, with 63 countries receiving orchids. Taiwan earned 157 million dollars in 2021 by exporting 14 thousand tons of orchids. Orchids grown in Taiwan, the world leader in nanotech-orchid production, will be on display at the International Orchid Fair in Tainan from March 26 to April 5.

After receiving a Ukrainian orchid from the Taiwanese government, Sergiy Korsunsky, the Japanese Ambassador to Ukraine, posted a message on his Twitter account. “These orchids are a special species produced in Taiwan and the name is Ukraine,” Korsunsky said, sharing a photo of the orchids.

At the International Orchid Fair in Tainan, proceeds from orchids named Ukraine will be donated to Ukraine.

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.
