Liechtenstein plans to accept Bitcoin as legal tender for government services

The Principality of Liechtenstein seeks to allow using Bitcoin as a means of payment for government services, Prime Minister Daniel Risch said in an interview with Handelsblatt.

Risch added that making Bitcoin payment possible would be made a reality in the near future, but did not give any specific timeline in this regard.

In line with the current planning status, the principality will likely accept deposits made in Bitcoin. After that, it will instantly exchange them for its national currency, the Swiss franc, as Risch explained.

This approach is similar to that adopted in Swiss communities such as Lugano or Zug. In these communities, residents can use Bitcoin to pay for public services.

Liechtenstein is considered the 6th smallest country in the world. It is located Europe's middle between Austria and Switzerland.

"We should draw experience and lessons from history, grasp bilateral relations from a strategic height and a long-term perspective, respect each other, learn from each other, and achieve mutual success," Qin told Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.

LGBT Activists Accuse Seoul Of Obstructing Q***r Festival By Green-Lighting Christian Concert

Organizers of South Korea's largest annual LGBT festival claimed that the Seoul City government had prevented them from holding their event outside the town hall this year and instead granted a permit for a Christian youth concert.

According to Reuters, the festival has had to compete with religious groups for years to obtain permission to hold events in downtown Seoul on July 1, often in front of city hall.

Although the event was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to pandemic restrictions, it has been held at the exact location since 2015.

Serb Leader Comments On Prospects Of ‘Sovereign State’

Bosnia and Herzegovina has always been a foreign project with no chance of success, and Republika Srpska (RS) will gain independence from the country, the president of the mainly Serbian-populated region, Milorad Dodik, has said.

“I don't believe in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was created artificially,” said Dodik. “It was an experiment by foreigners to train their inexperienced elites here. The only rational thing is to divide it.”

The president added that he sees nothing wrong with his desire for a “Greater Serbia” that would be “big and strong” and unite all the Serbs, who found themselves living in different countries after the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.

Fierce German Tank Battle Reaches Court

German tank manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) has filed an injunction against defense company Rheinmetall, seeking to restrain the rival firm from making “misleading” statements about the Leopard tank.

According to a report in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) newspaper on Monday, the lawsuit follows Rheinmetall chief executive’s recent interview with NZZ, claiming that his company controlled some rights of the older Leopard 2 models and had roughly 1,000 such vehicles in stock.

KMW has disputed Papperger’s statement as “untrue, misleading, and infringing on their rights,” a spokeswoman for a district court in Munich told NZZ, adding that the company has asked the court to restrain Rheinmetall from making such claims in the future.

Japan Seeking To Ease Weapons Export Ban

On Tuesday, the Kyodo news agency reported that Japan’s ruling coalition held the first round of talks on reviewing the country’s strict weapons export rules. Under the current Constitution drawn up after Japan’s defeat in World War II, weapons can only be supplied to a foreign country if it jointly develops or produces them.

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, wants Tokyo to play a more significant role in global security. Amid the conflict in Ukraine, it is pushing for the rules on overseas transfers of defense equipment and technology to be eased.

However, the LDP’s junior coalition partner, Komeito, has resisted the proposed changes, arguing that the arrival of Japanese arms in the international market would go against the country’s policy of pacifism and escalate conflicts around the globe.

Yuan Overtakes USD As China’s Top Cross-Border Trade Currency

Official data shows that for the first time, China’s native yuan overtook the US dollar as the most-used currency for cross-border trade in March after hitting a record $549.9 billion in March from $434.5 billion a month earlier.

The yuan was used to complete 48.4% of all cross-border transactions, while the dollar's share declined to 46.7% from 48.6% a month earlier.

The greenback remains by far the most-used currency in global terms, though, accounting for 83.7% of all international trade, compared to the yuan’s share of just 4.5%

Senior Iranian Cleric Shot Dead — Media

Senior Iranian religious leader Abbas-Ali Soleimani was shot dead in an incident at a bank in Babolsar on Wednesday morning, national media have reported.

EU Agrees on Green Fuel Binding Agreement For Airlines

The European Union has reached an agreement that will force airlines to meet increased targets for using sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) after late-night Tuesday talks with member states.

The proposals will task suppliers with making SAFs 2% of fuels available to EU airports by 2025, 6% by 2030, 20% by 2035, and 70% by 2050.

Airlines are set to receive around 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion) in carbon fuel industry funding to help them switch to SAFs.

US To Send First Nuclear Subs To South Korea In 40 Years

President Joe Biden is expected to sign off on a commitment to “strengthen US deterrence commitments” to South Korea on Wednesday by pledging to send the first US nuclear sub to Seoul in 40 years.

The declaration is due to mark the end of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s state visit to Washington and includes plans to set up a nuclear consultative group to share intelligence to ward off threats from North Korea.

“The United States has not taken these steps since the height of the Cold War with our very closest handful of allies in Europe,” a senior White House official said.

UK Will Be Held Responsible For Turning Ukraine Into ‘Radioactive Landfill’ — Moscow

Russia’s UK Embassy said London would be held responsible for transferring “toxic” depleted uranium tank ammunition to Ukraine after the British Defence Ministry confirmed the radioactive shells were already in Kiev’s hands.

“It has by now become self-evident that the West intends [Ukraine] to become not only an anti-Russian military “shooting range,” but also a radioactive landfill - with all the ensuing grave consequences for the health of residents and the environment in the region,” the official statement read.

“Shockingly, against this background, the UK Defence Ministry does not seem to realize the extent of the hypocrisy of their clerical assurances that London intends to "lay the groundwork" for a successful post-conflict reconstruction of Ukraine.”
