 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali.

 Train service between Beijing and Pyongyang set to resume this week for first time in six years

Train service between Beijing and Pyongyang is set to resume this week, marking the first operations on the route since it was suspended six years ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Beijing-Pyongyang line will run four times a week—on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday—with departures from Beijing at 5:26 p.m. and arrivals in Pyongyang at 6 p.m. the following day. The train will make one stop at the Chinese border city of Dandong, and the last two cars will be reserved for passengers.

The service is expected to primarily accommodate diplomats and official business travelers, though general passengers may be allowed if seats remain available. The restoration of the route reflects efforts by China and North Korea to strengthen personnel exchanges and bilateral cooperation amid shifting global dynamics, including escalating conflict in the Middle East. The move follows North Korea’s resumption of direct flights and trains to Moscow last year, and comes as speculation grows over a possible diplomatic engagement between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during Trump’s planned trip to Beijing later this month. While relations between Pyongyang and Beijing have improved since last year’s summit between Kim and President Xi Jinping, high-level personnel exchanges between the countries remain limited.
