(230427) -- YULI, April 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Arkin Reyim (R) inspects tools in the Bax Mali Village of Yuli County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, March 29, 2023. Arkin Reyim is a 51-year-old cotton farmer with more than 300 mu (20 hectares) of cotton fields in the Bax Mali Village of Yuli County in Xinjiang. Arkin's courage and unique vision has prompted him to start growing cotton in 2004 when he got married with his wife Hasiyat Kasim. Since then, Arkin has devoted himself into the cultivation of cotton for over 10 years, thus making him an experienced cotton grower in the county. In this year, Arkin bought the Beidou navigation system with 8,000 yuan (about 1155.5 U.S. dollars) to have it installed into his tractor, as a way to mechanise the growing process and improve efficiencies. Yuli County in Xinjiang is suitable for the growing of cotton due to its unique natural conditions. It has become an important commodity cotton production base of the country. At present, the

celebrations of NATO entry 20 (Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary)/15 (Slovakia) years ago

The Czech Republic comprehends NATO membership as an active commitment of shared responsibility for other countries, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said at the opening of the celebrations of NATO entry 20 years ago today, on Monday, March 10, 2019. The Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary entered NATO on March 12, 1999. Slovakia followed suit in 2004. The Alliance should be able to defy new challenges such as cyber security or disinformation campaigns, Babis said. There are the ideas that some new EU agencies for the fight against these threats should be founded. I believe that NATO is to deal with such affairs, Babis said, adding that the Alliance must be prepared for the current fights not being led only by tanks and aircraft. (CTK Photo/Petr Kupec)
