Tbilisi, March 25 /Xinhua/ — The Monetary Policy Committee of the National Bank of Georgia kept the interest rate (refinancing rate) at 8 percent, the National Bank of Georgia (Central Bank) reported on Wednesday.

According to the regulator, the escalating geopolitical situation in the Middle East and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have led to temporary disruptions to supply chains. "Given current macroeconomic conditions and the balance of risks, the decision has been made to keep the interest rate unchanged," the regulator said in a statement.

The Central Bank's statement stated that these processes have already caused an increase in energy and transport prices on international markets, and that if this trend continues, the risks of accelerating global inflation will increase.

As noted in the report, before the geopolitical situation worsened, inflation in the country developed in accordance with the baseline scenario and was expected to decline to the target level of 3 percent from the second quarter of 2026. In February, inflation amounted to 4.6 percent.

According to the National Bank, in the short term, inflation will be higher than the projected level, while in the medium term, the dynamics will depend on the duration and scale of global inflation processes, which are characterized by high uncertainty. –0–

TOKYO, March 25 (Xinhua) — Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara on Wednesday called it "regrettable" that a Self-Defense Forces member illegally entered the Chinese Embassy in Japan and vowed that the government will take measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

Speaking at a regular press conference, the politician stated that the government will take appropriate measures in accordance with current international and domestic legislation and in cooperation with the relevant ministries.

"It is extremely regrettable that one of the Self-Defense Forces, who are supposed to uphold the law, was arrested on suspicion of illegal entry," said Minoru Kihara.

He added that police had stepped up security around the embassy and that further measures would be taken in accordance with the results of the investigation.

According to the Chinese Embassy in Japan, a man who identified himself as an "active member of the Japan Self-Defense Forces" climbed over a fence and entered the embassy grounds on Tuesday morning, where he threatened to kill Chinese diplomats.

The embassy sent a serious message to the Japanese side and expressed a strong protest, demanding a responsible explanation of what happened.

Rosneft contributes to the support of significant cultural projects

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

March 25th marks Culture Workers' Day in Russia—a professional holiday dedicated to cultural and artistic figures. Rosneft actively participates in important events in Russia's cultural life. The company supports projects, each of which becomes a significant event and defines the country's cultural identity.

Rosneft has collaborated with the State Hermitage Museum for many years. With the Company's support, the first two halls of the new permanent exhibition, "Art of the Art Nouveau Era," opened in the General Staff Building in 2025. They are dedicated to artists from the second half of the 1880s to the late 1890s. The exhibition centers on the most striking pieces in the Hermitage collection—objects created by masters of leading European and Russian schools at the turn of the 20th century: from ceramics and jewelry to furniture and tapestries. In a few years, the new exhibition will occupy five halls. In 2024, with the Company's support, the Hermitage opened a renewed exhibition, "The Culture and Art of China," covering periods from antiquity to the 17th century. Previously, the exhibitions "The Raphael Line," dedicated to the phenomenon of Raphael Santi, "Piero della Francesco: Monarch of Painting," and "Egyptomania" were also held to great acclaim. In addition, with the support of Rosneft, the museum also houses a permanent exhibition, “Ancient Colonization of the Northern Black Sea Region.”

Rosneft also supports the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center: in 2025, the exhibition "Joseph Brodsky. A Place as Good as Any" and the exhibition "Lyuba, Lyubochka. Lyubov Sergeevna Popova. 1889-1924" were organized.

Rosneft not only supports exhibition projects in Russia, but also successfully develops cultural ties with other countries, presenting contemporary Russian art abroad.

Thus, in December 2025 – January 2026, with the support of Rosneft, an exhibition by People's Artist of Russia Nikas Safronov entitled "Dream Vision" was held in India. The project was presented at two of India's largest cultural centers – the Lalit Kala Akademi in New Delhi and the National Gallery of Modern Art in Mumbai. The exhibition was recognized as the most visited and resonant one in India in the past 60 years. A total of 100 of Nikas Safronov's best works were brought to India, including a series of paintings created specifically for the Indian public. The exhibitions were distinguished by their high technology and were built on the synergy of classical painting and modern multimedia solutions: light, sound, video installations, LED screens, animatronics, and other cutting-edge digital technologies. The project received high praise from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of India.

Last year, the Company also supported the Festival of India, held at Manezhnaya Square in Moscow. Visitors were treated to an engaging entertainment and educational program. Guests were able to experience Indian folk dance, participate in yoga, henna, and Hindi painting workshops, and visit an exhibition of Indian art. Previously, the Company supported Tatyana Navka's show "The Love Story of Scheherazade" in Ahmedabad, India, and the Mariinsky Theatre, directed by Valery Gergiev, performed "One Thousand and One Nights" in Qatar.

Rosneft has been supporting the Sretensky Monastery Choir for over 10 years. During this time, the choir has successfully toured numerous cities across Russia. Past productions include "Everyday Saints," "The Romanovs," "Russia: Time, Forward!", "Masterpieces of World Culture," "Life," "Songs of Our Parents," and "Dedicated to the Great Victory." The Sretensky Monastery Choir is one of the most renowned musical ensembles in Russia, and last year celebrated its 30th anniversary. The choir possesses a unique performance style that allows for a fresh experience of both sacred music and well-known folk and popular songs.

With the Company's support, a concert dedicated to Alexandra Pakhmutova's 95th birthday was held in Volgograd. From 2023 to 2025, Tatyana Navka's ice shows "Evenings on a Farm," "The Nutcracker," and "Cinderella" were performed in Moscow to great acclaim.

Rosneft participated in the restoration of the Konevsky Nativity of the Virgin Mary Monastery, founded by Saint Arseny Konevsky in 1393 on Konevets Island in Lake Ladoga. The monastery is a significant pilgrimage site in the Northwestern Federal District. The monastery was restored with the utmost attention to historical detail, employing highly qualified specialists, artists, and restorers.

KUWAIT CITY, March 25 (Xinhua) — Kuwaiti authorities said on Wednesday morning that air defense systems intercepted several enemy drones and missiles, and a fire broke out after a strike on a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport, but there were no casualties.

The UAE's General Authority for Civil Aviation confirmed that a drone struck a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport. According to a statement on the X social media platform, emergency services and relevant authorities responded quickly to the incident and contained the fire. The statement added that only material damage was caused; there were no casualties.

In a separate statement released at dawn, the Kuwaiti Army reported that air defense systems successfully intercepted enemy missiles and drones detected in the country's airspace. The army added that loud explosions heard in some parts of Kuwait were the result of air defense systems being activated.

Meanwhile, the Kuwait National Guard announced the interception of six UAVs in its areas of responsibility.

In an official statement, Kuwait National Guard spokesman Brigadier General Jadan Fadel said the interception was part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national security, protect critical infrastructure, and neutralize potential threats.

Kuwaiti authorities have not yet released information about the origin of the attacks.

On Tuesday, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense reported that air defense systems detected 17 ballistic missiles and 13 UAVs. The Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy reported that debris falling during interception operations damaged seven overhead power lines, causing partial power outages in some areas. Ministry spokesperson Fatima Hayat added that measures were immediately taken to restore power, and most of the damaged lines have already been repaired.

These incidents occurred amid escalating tensions following US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began last month. Iran has since responded with a series of missile and drone strikes against Israeli and US targets in the Middle East.
