Fresh footage from the Wolong area of Giant Panda National Park in southwest China's Sichuan Province has captured the world's only known wild white panda roaming through snow-covered forests and bamboo groves.

The rare albino giant panda, first discovered in 2019, now appears healthy, strong and fully adapted to life in the wild.

Researchers say the footage, recorded between 2024 and 2026, provides valuable insight into the growth and survival of this extraordinarily rare animal.

The Eleventh Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) concluded on Friday at the UN headquarters in New York City, without reaching a consensus on a final document.

The Eleventh Review Conference was held from April 27 to May 22.

The president of the conference Do Hung Viet, Vietnam's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that four drafts of the outcome document had been circulated during the meeting, but delegates ultimately failed to reach a consensus.

He urged parties to take steps to lower nuclear risks and push for an update of the NPT's mechanisms.

In a statement released on Friday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged countries to take proactive steps to de-escalate tensions, lower nuclear risks, and eventually remove the threat posed by nuclear weapons.

The NPT was signed in 1968 and entered into force in 1970. Review conferences take place every five years, with the 12th session set to convene in New York in 2031.
