As the Spring Festival and Xizang New Year approaches, Lhasa is filled with a festive atmosphere. Butter sculptures, a traditional Tibetan New Year's gift, are becoming increasingly popular in the market.

They are made using brightly colored yak butter. Craftsmen knead it repeatedly by hand in cold water, shaping it while simultaneously cooling it. They then skillfully use a wooden knife to carve patterns of the sun, moon, stars, leaves, flowers, and animal figures. The finished elements are assembled and secured to a shield-shaped wooden base, creating vibrant, realistic compositions. Each skillfully crafted piece conveys warm wishes for prosperity and happiness in the new year.

According to a February 6 report in Taiwan's United Daily News, the US Department of Justice recently released documents on the case of American financier Jeffrey Epstein. These revelations shocked the public because they implicate numerous prominent Western political and business figures, causing political upheaval in many of those countries. Official Chinese media rarely publish materials related to the 14th Dalai Lama. However, this time, they published an article highlighting that his name is mentioned 169 times in the relevant documents.

On the evening of February 5, the state-run website China Tibet Online (tibet.cn) published a story citing a February 2 article in the Indian newspaper Financial Express. The article reported that the 14th Dalai Lama met with Epstein in 2012, and his name is mentioned 169 times in emails recently released by the US Department of Justice.

Earlier, when the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded a Grammy Award, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated that he was "not an ordinary religious figure, but a political exile who, under the guise of religion, is engaging in anti-China separatist activities." He also emphasized that "China firmly opposes the use of art awards as a tool for political manipulation."

Tbilisi, February 13 (Xinhua) — Georgian Railways announced on its Facebook page on Friday that the resumption of rail service between Russia and Georgia is not currently under discussion.

TEHRAN, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) — A senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said talks between Tehran and Washington can move forward and ensure mutual interests are protected if they are realistic and do not include unreasonable demands.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary Ali Shamkhani made the statement in an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera television channel published on Friday, commenting on the resumption of indirect talks with the United States on Iran's nuclear program, the first round of which took place in Oman on February 6.

A. Shamkhani noted that refraining from actions and steps that could negatively impact the stability and security of West Asia is a logical and rational course for all parties involved. He stated that diplomatic efforts in the region are aimed at reducing tensions and strengthening political solutions.

The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council emphasized that Iran's missile program is one of the country's red lines and is not subject to discussion, warning that Iran will give a "strong, decisive and adequate" response to any potential adventurism against the country.

A. Shamkhani also pointed out that Israel would not be able to attack Iran without US support, and emphasized the country's high level of military readiness, which increases the cost of any miscalculation by potential adversaries.

These statements came against the backdrop of escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington and a buildup of the American military presence in the region, despite recent diplomatic contacts.

Munich, Germany, February 13, Xinhua — The 62nd Munich Security Conference opened in Germany on Friday. The event takes place amid deepening transatlantic tensions and an increasingly unstable geopolitical landscape.

Policymakers from around the world gathered for a conference to discuss regional and global security and international order, as punitive US tariffs on major trading partners remain in place, disputes over European defense agreements continue, and renewed tensions over Greenland heighten tensions within the transatlantic alliance.

In his opening speech, Munich Conference Chairman Wolfgang Ischinger noted that it was taking place at a time of “growing insecurity,” with more conflicts and crises occurring simultaneously than ever before in the event’s more than 60-year history.

“In particular, a turning point has arrived in transatlantic relations,” said W. Ischinger, calling it “an unprecedented challenge” and questioning whether the United States still views its European allies as partners.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, sharing these concerns, in turn stated that a “gap” has emerged between Europe and the United States, noting that US Vice President J.D. Vance had already spoken openly about this at a conference last year.

“The transatlantic partnership is no longer something we can take for granted,” warned F. Merz.

Furthermore, the conference's annual expert report, published ahead of the event, also warns of a weakening of international institutions. It states that the "recalibration" of US foreign policy has triggered processes whose consequences are only now beginning to become fully apparent.

This year's three-day event is expected to bring together approximately 60 heads of state and government, as well as foreign and defense ministers from around 100 countries. Key topics of discussion will include the future of transatlantic relations, multilateralism, global order, and regional conflicts and crises.
