On February 14, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a speech and answered questions at the "China Session." When asked about Chinas role in resolving regional conflicts, particularly the Ukraine issue, Wang Yi stated that Chinas position is clear: all regional hotspots should seek political solutions through dialogue and consultation, and the same applies to the Ukraine issue. However, China is not a party to the conflict, and the decision-making power is not in Chinas hands. What we can do is to promote peace talks. We have dispatched special envoys to mediate and, through various channels, emphasized to all parties that a ceasefire should be implemented as soon as possible, and that everyone should return to the negotiating table.On February 14, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference, delivered a speech at the "China Session," and answered questions from the audience. Wang Yi emphasized that the erroneous remarks by Japanese leaders on the Taiwan issue exposed Japans undying ambition to invade and colonize Taiwan and the lingering specter of reviving militarism. Japan launched its invasion of China and attacked Pearl Harbor under the pretext of a so-called "crisis and existential crisis." The lessons of history are still fresh and must be heeded. If Japan does not repent, it will inevitably repeat the same mistakes. Good people should be vigilant. First and foremost, the Japanese people must be reminded not to be blinded and coerced by far-right forces and extremist ideologies again. All peace-loving countries should also warn Japan: if it chooses to go back to its old ways, it will only lead to its own destruction.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We and our partners will use all policy tools at our disposal to continue to hold Russia accountable.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We further express our concern that Russia has not destroyed all of its chemical weapons.The United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands issued a joint statement regarding the death of Alexei Navalny.

Emirates Airlines was one of the first airlines in the world to focus on NFTs and the Metaverse.

In a few months, the airline aims to offer its first items.


As the number of large names seeking the NFTs and the Metaverse grows, so will the number of ambitious Web3 initiatives.


As large names continue to pursue Web3, interest in NFTs and the Metaverse shows no signs of waning. Metaverse activity has increased significantly in Decentraland (MANA) and the Sandbox (SAND).


While the music, film, and fashion industries have completely embraced the Metaverse, other industries have lagged.


The aviation sector took aim at NFTs and the Metaverse this week, joining a growing list of businesses that regard Web3 as having limitless potential.


Leading American investment institutions have also shown their enthusiasm for the Metaverse. JPMorgan predicted a $1 trillion Metaverse in February.

NFTs And the Metaverse Are The Focus of Emirates Airlines.

Emirates revealed its ambitions to deploy NFTs and join the Metaverse this week. Emirates plans to spend $10 million in the digital world, primarily for the benefit of its consumers and staff.


The airline "plans to develop distinctive brand experiences in the Metaverse, alongside both collector and utility-based NFTs," according to the release.


According to reports, the first projects are in the works and will be released in the following months.


"Dubai and the UAE are lighting the way in the digital economy, with a clear vision backed by effective policies and regulatory frameworks in sectors such as virtual assets, artificial intelligence, and data security," stated Chairman and CEO HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum.


"Emirates has always embraced innovative technology to better our business operations, increase our client offering, and expand the talents and experiences of our people," he said. We're thrilled about the new possibilities in the future digital world, and we're devoting a large financial and human resource commitment to create goods and services based on sophisticated technologies that will increase revenue, improve brand experience, and improve company efficiency."


Airlines and the aviation sector have a lot to gain from NFTs and the Metaverse.


NFTs might be utilized for ticketing and travel recording in the airline sector. NFTs might be used to store information such as flight time, distance traveled, and so on. Virtual lounges, for example, are one of the many intriguing possibilities available in the Metaverse.


When it comes to the aviation sector, Emirates may be ahead of the game. Emirates was the first airline to offer a virtual reality app in 2021. Users may see inside the cabins of the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 777-300ER Gamechanger using the app.


For several years, customers have also been able to view their seats and check in with a 3D seat map.

Emirates Is the Latest Global Brand to Enter the Metaverse

With an ever-increasing number of industries eyeing NFTs and the Metaverse, 2022 has been a busy year.


The fashion industry hosted a four-day fashion week in the Metaverse in March, with major brands like as Gucci and Victoria's Secret focusing on NFTs and the Metaverse.


More large names are expected to join the music business and fast-food corporations, like McDonald's, which have already entered the virtual world.
