Protesters Throw Soup At Da Vinci Painting - Paris

File photo dated May 19, 2021 of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa in Paris, France on May 28, 2013. Protesters have thrown soup at the glass-protected Mona Lisa painting in Paris on Sunday. The 16th Century paining by Leonardo da Vinci is one of the world's most famous artworks, and is held at the Louvre in Paris. It sits behind bulletproof glass so it is unlikely to have been damaged. A video showed two protesters demanding the right to "healthy and sustainable food", saying "our agricultural system is sick". The Mona Lisa has been behind safety glass since the early 1950s, when it was damaged by a visitor who poured acid on it. In 2019, the museum said it had installed a more transparent form of bulletproof glass to protect it. Photo by Aurore Marechal/ABACAPRESS.COM

In 2013, China proposed the idea of building an "economic belt along the Silk Road" in Kazakhstan, which, combined with the proposal of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, eventually became the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) logistics cooperation base, launched in 2014, is the first entity project under the BRI. Acting as a dry port in the Horgos-Eastern Gate special economic zone and the Western China-Western Europe international transport corridor, it has become an important platform for products from Central Asian countries to reach seaports.
