Bishkek, April 1 (Xinhua) — The 6th World Nomad Games (WNG), which will be held in Kyrgyzstan this year, has an official mascot. It is the snow leopard, one of the country's most recognizable images. This was reported on Wednesday by the Kyrgyz national news agency Kabar, citing the WNG International Secretariat.

"The snow leopard is the symbol of Kyrgyzstan, where strength is combined with respect, and traditions are open to the world. Through this mascot, we wanted to convey the spirit of the 2026 World Nomad Games—dignity, balance, and openness to interaction," the secretariat noted.

The mascot's visual image is said to combine Kyrgyzstan's natural environment, its nomadic heritage, and the project's contemporary appeal. "The snow leopard is not just a mascot, but an image that reflects the character of the host country and the values of the 2026 World Nomad Games as an international platform uniting people through sport, culture, and knowledge," the secretariat stated.

The World Nomad Games is an international cultural and sporting event aimed at preserving, developing, and promoting ethnic sports and the traditional culture of nomadic peoples around the world. They were first held in 2014 in Kyrgyzstan. Subsequently, the same country hosted the 2nd and 3rd WNGs in 2016 and 2018, respectively. The 4th Games will be held in Turkey in 2022, and the 5th in Kazakhstan in 2024.

The 6th World Nomad Games will be held this year from August 31 to September 6.

Beijing, April 1 (Xinhua) — China should fully utilize the role of enterprises as the main drivers of innovation during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), an expert said on Wednesday.

Liu Dongmei, head of the Party Committee of the Chinese Academy of Development Science and Technology, made the call during the latest edition of the China Economic Roundtable, a media discussion program hosted by Xinhua News Agency.

She proposed strengthening the leading role of enterprises, especially technology leaders, and expanding their ability to coordinate with upstream and downstream companies, universities and research institutes to jointly boost the integration of technological and industrial innovation.

Resources allocated to the key stages of internal/corporate technology transfer are sometimes insufficient, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, resulting in many research results remaining on paper or in laboratories. Liu Dongmei therefore called for increased efforts to assist such enterprises in developing additional technology transfer capabilities.

The expert also proposed creating an assessment system focused on market demand and industrial value in order to eliminate bottlenecks that hinder the integration of technological and industrial innovations. -0-

London, April 1 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said he is seriously considering leaving NATO after the alliance refused to join the strikes on Iran, The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday.

When asked whether he could reconsider the situation with US membership after the end of the conflict, D. Trump replied that this issue “is not subject to revision.”

"NATO never impressed me. I always knew it was a paper tiger," he said.

D. Trump expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the lack of solidarity from his allies. He specifically noted that the UK has "non-operational aircraft carriers," implying that the British Navy is not up to the task.

Even before this interview, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that after the conflict with Iran ends, the US will have to "reconsider" its membership in NATO, the publication writes.

"If NATO's only purpose is to protect Europe in the event of an attack, but they deny us basing rights when we need them, then that's not a very good agreement. It's difficult to continue participating in that," the newspaper quotes M. Rubio as saying. –0–

St. Petersburg, April 1 (Xinhua) — The elimination of infrastructure barriers, automation, digitalization, and the development of artificial intelligence will take international logistics to a new level of development. This was discussed on Wednesday by participants at the opening and plenary discussion of the first International Transport and Logistics Forum (ITLF) in St. Petersburg.

According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev, Russia is actively developing five international transport routes: the North-South Corridor, the Azov-Black Sea route, the Northwest route, the Eastern route, and the Northern Sea Route. Work is underway on all of these routes to expand capacity, and delivery times have been significantly reduced over the past few years, he added.

Russian Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin stated that the ministry faces the task of eliminating infrastructure constraints. To ensure the development of international logistics, work is underway to reduce the time it takes to cross borders to 10 minutes, the official noted. He also stated that "digital seamlessness" must be achieved using technologies such as navigation seals, electronic waybills, and a register of freight forwarders and carriers.

During the plenary session, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko noted the importance of developing automation, robotics, and unmanned technologies. "Our partners from China are global leaders here. They are actively implementing these technologies, and we are constantly exchanging experiences with them," he said.

The International Transport and Lending Forum (MTLF) is taking place in St. Petersburg from April 1-3. According to organizers, approximately 5,000 people from more than 80 countries and territories are participating.
