Chinese Soldiers’ Remains Burial Ceremony - China

Guards of honor escort the caskets of the fallen Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) martyrs during a burial ceremony at the CPV martyrs' cemetery in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province, Nov. 29, 2024. The remains of 43 Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) soldiers who lost their lives during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) were laid to rest on Friday in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province. Since 2014, China and the Republic of Korea (ROK), in accordance with international laws and humanitarian principles, have completed 11 consecutive handovers of the remains of 981 CPV martyrs who died in the ROK. About 74 years ago, the CPV crossed the Yalu River and fought alongside the army and civilians of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. After an arduous fight that lasted almost three years, the CPV eventually won the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. More than 197,000 CPV soldiers were confirmed killed in the war.

The base has ensured smooth flows of freight across the Eurasian continent and has become an important platform for products from Central Asian countries to reach seaports. The Lianyungang freight train services cover major destinations throughout Central Asia, transporting more than 400 categories of goods such as household appliances, pharmaceuticals and construction materials. The base has become a pivotal cross-border transportation hub between Asia and Europe. Photo by Xinhua/ABACAP

Iran Eid al-Ghadir Festival - Tehran

People attend the state-held event during the Eid al-Ghadir festival in Tehran, Iran, on June 25, 2024. Eid al-Ghadir is a commemorative holiday and is considered to be among the most significant holidays of Shi'ite Muslims and Alawites, as it is believed to commemorate the time when the Islamic prophet Muhammad—according to interpretation in Shia—appointed Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor. Iran is holding snap presidential elections to choose the next president after the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. People in Iran are increasingly showing less interest in casting their vote in the snap presidential election scheduled on June 28 after the disqualification of several candidates by the country's religious Guardian Council. Voter turnouts have hit historically low numbers in elections in recent years as Iran's hardliners increasingly interfere by eliminating candidates who have distanced themselves from the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran Eid al-Ghadir Festival - Tehran

People attend the state-held event during the Eid al-Ghadir festival in Tehran, Iran, on June 25, 2024. Eid al-Ghadir is a commemorative holiday and is considered to be among the most significant holidays of Shi'ite Muslims and Alawites, as it is believed to commemorate the time when the Islamic prophet Muhammad—according to interpretation in Shia—appointed Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor. Iran is holding snap presidential elections to choose the next president after the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. People in Iran are increasingly showing less interest in casting their vote in the snap presidential election scheduled on June 28 after the disqualification of several candidates by the country's religious Guardian Council. Voter turnouts have hit historically low numbers in elections in recent years as Iran's hardliners increasingly interfere by eliminating candidates who have distanced themselves from the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
