Saudi Arabia announced its inaugural participation in the Miss Universe pageant, symbolizing a departure from its conservative image under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud's leadership.

French President Emmanuel Macron clarified on Monday that the US and its allies have no intentions of seeking regime change in Russia. However, Paris remains committed to supporting Kiev in its ongoing conflict with Moscow, pledging continued aid for as long as necessary.
Macron's remarks came during a joint press conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Elysee Palace, where they engaged in discussions alongside the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Among the topics addressed were the Ukraine conflict, bilateral trade, and economic relations between France and China.
In his statements, Macron emphasised the importance of dialogue and cooperation in addressing global challenges, underscoring the need for diplomatic solutions to complex geopolitical issues.

As Chinese leader Xi Jinping touched down in France on Sunday (May 5) for a state visit, all eyes turned to Paris where President Emmanuel Macron aims to navigate delicate diplomatic waters. Macron is anticipated to leverage the visit to press Xi for a firmer stance against Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, even before Xi's arrival, the streets reverberated with the voices of Tibetan protesters, highlighting the contentious issue of China's occupation of Tibet. Since the annexation by the People's Republic of China in 1951 following the Battle of Chamdo, Tibet's sovereignty has been a persistent source of tension, underscored by China's assertion of control over the region from January 1, 1950. Against this backdrop, Macron's diplomatic balancing act takes center stage, emblematic of the intricate dance between global powers and human rights advocacy.
