The ceremonial royal top-knot style and headdresses from the era of ancient Myanmar kings have been recreated by the Myat Taw Win traditional outfit-making service.
These traditional styles have been revisited so that Myanmar people can wear them in their auspicious novitiate, ear-boring and wedding ceremonies.
These ornaments were remade by Myat Taw Win using pure silver, gold plating, and gilding art, according to the service. For those who love Myanmar culture and want to preserve it by wearing traditional Acheik and double-length longyis in weddings and cultural ceremonies, the Myat Taw Win has produced both ready-made and cut fabric pieces based on the proportions, colour combinations, and Acheik designs of ancient Myanmar dresses.
Recently, there has been more interest among young people in Myanmar’s cultural clothing and attire, as well as interest from both domestic and foreign countries. — MT/ZN/Ed

EGYPT has postponed the long-anticipated grand opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) due to the escalating military confrontation between Israel and Iran, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced on Saturday.
Speaking during a press conference while touring the northern Beheira province, Madbouly said the current regional climate was not conducive to hosting a major international event. The museum’s opening, originally scheduled for 3 July will now be delayed until the fourth quarter of the year.

One-China policy strengthens bilateral relations between Myanmar and China, contributing to regional peace and stability.

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing expressed gratitude to China for its stance of support regarding Myanmar’s issues on the international landscape.
A ceremony to mark the 75th Anniversary (Golden Jubilee) of the Establishment of Myanmar-China diplomatic relations took place at Mingala Thiri Hotel in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning, attended by Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.
At the ceremony, the Senior General said an opening address. He said: In the history of modern bilateral relations, Myanmar was one of the first countries to recognize the People’s Republic of China when it was founded in 1949. Subsequently, the two countries established diplomatic relations on 8 June 1950, marking the beginning of what is now considered a diamond jubilee era.
Since the establishment of Myanmar-China diplomatic relations in 1950, successive visits and exchanges of goodwill delegations between the leaders of both countries have steadily strengthened and deepened the relationship over time.
Based on the historical ties between Myanmar and China, the successful signing of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in 1954 has become a model in the history of modern international relations. Since the Bandung Conference in 1955 up to the present day, it is encouraging and commendable to see that many developing countries worldwide have practised these Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

During the rainy season, various types of mushrooms often grow in forests and areas around trees, so the Ministry of Health has issued an advisory to consumers to avoid mushroom poisoning.
Among naturally grown mushrooms, some are safe, but some are so poisonous that they can cause severe poisoning and even death, the Department of Public Health has warned.
The appearances of poisonous mushrooms include a sack-like base, a ring on the stem, sparse scales, white gills, bright colours on the cap, and the release of green spores.
Ingestion of toxic mushrooms can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea within 20 minutes to four hours of eating, and even death in severe cases. Moreover, it can cause brain and nervous system damage, resulting in confusion, hyperactivity, and depression.
With symptoms and severity depending on the type of mushroom, the amount of toxins (for instance: Cyclopeptides, Gyromitrin, Orellanine, and Muscarine among others), age, and personal immune system, the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions are more likely to experience severe poisoning.
If consumers experience poisonous symptoms, they should seek medical attention immediately and be taken to the nearest hospital for treatment. The best prevention is to avoid eating unfamiliar, suspicious, poisonous and never-eaten mushrooms, it said. — Htun Htun/ZN

The administration of US President Donald Trump has issued an order to Harvard University that prevents the school from enrolling foreign students. The order says current international students must transfer to a different university or lose their legal status in the US.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem gave the order. She accused administrators of fostering violence and anti-Semitism, and of working with the Chinese Communist Party. She also warned other schools that they could face similar bans.

A Harvard spokesperson described the order as "unlawful." He said it threatens serious harm not just to the university's academic and research mission but to the entire country.
