<p> <em> Ryanair aircraft at Stansted Airport, North East London, England. (Photo: AFP/VNA)</em> On June 15, Ryanair (Republic of Ireland) confirmed that it did not support the application <strong> flight ban</strong> instead of entering Belarusian airspace for the long term, instead, the authorities of countries need to talk to Belarus to avoid a repeat of the emergency landing situation as happened last month with this airline. Earlier, on May 23, the Belarusian authorities requested a Ryanair airliner <strong> emergency landing</strong> at the airport in Minsk after receiving a bomb threat. After searching and making sure there were no security threats, the plane continued on its way to Lithuania. Belarus insists its actions were legal and will open an investigation into the false alarm. It also accused Western countries of politicizing the matter, claiming that Belarus had requested a Ryanair plane to land to arrest opposition figure Roman Protasevich and insisted it was just a coincidence. Following the allegation, the European Union (EU) and the UK banned Belarusian airlines from flying over their airspace and issued safety guidelines advising European airlines to avoid <strong> Belarusian airspace</strong> and only fly over in an emergency. Speaking to a UK Parliament committee, Ryanair chief executive Michael O&#8217;Leary said the air transport industry depends heavily on long-term &#8220;unlimited&#8221; access to all international airspace. Therefore, this CEO called for an early restoration of unlimited access to Belarusian airspace and said that EU and UK officials, in coordination with international partners, should work with the Belarusian side to ensure no repeat the problem that happened with this company. According to CEO <strong> Ryanair</strong> , the politicization of airspace zones is not the way to solve the problem because it will harm the aviation industry in particular and international connectivity in general.</p>

On April 17, the Czech Republic accused the Russian Secret Service of being behind a fatal explosion at an arsenal in eastern Czechs in 2014 and thus expelled 18 Russian diplomats.

Lithuania also offered to support the Czech Embassy in Moscow in carrying out its functions after Czech diplomats were expelled by Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that by May 31st, the Russian Embassy in Prague and the Czech Embassy in Moscow will only maintain 7 diplomatic staff, 25 technical and administrative staff, as well as right to hire up to 19 employees who are nationals of the host country.

The Russian diplomatic delegation also announced that Moscow would soon take measures to respond, according to the news agency <em> TASS</em> . The Russian embassy in Tallinn was also dissatisfied by Estonia&#8217;s decision, saying that the decision to expel Russian diplomats could undermine efforts to improve Russia-Estonian relations.

<p><span id="more-402"></span><br />
</p>
<div class="article__body">
<p class="body-text">According to the latest list by residence and citizenship consultancy Henley Partners (based in the UK), Japan continues to be the most powerful passporting country in the world. The people of cherry blossom country can go to 193 countries without applying for a visa.</p>
<p class="body-text">The second place belongs to another Asian country, Singapore. The number of visa-free countries for Singapore passport owners is up to 192. The remaining positions in the top 5 went to Germany, South Korea (same 191) and Finland, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain (190). Ranked 5th are Austria and Denmark with 189 visa-free destinations</p>
<p class="body-text">Afghanistan ranks bottom of the list of power passports with 26 destinations, followed by Iraq (28) and Syria (29).</p>
<p class="body-image"><img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_14_119_38526526/2b62f9b1d3f33aad63e2.jpg" width="625" height="351"></p>
<p class="body-text media-caption"><em> Japan tops the list of powerful passports. Photo: Nikkei Asia. </em></p>
<p class="body-text">&#8220;The disparity in freedom of travel is at its largest level since the arrival of the power passport index in 2006. Japanese passport users can reach more than 167 countries and territories than Afghan citizens,&#8221; said Henley Partners representative.</p>
<p class="body-text">In addition, the company also pointed to China and the UAE as the two countries with the biggest spikes in the rankings. Over the past 10 years, China has risen 22 places, from 90th to 68th. The number of visa-exempt countries for Chinese citizens increased from 40 to 77.</p>
<p class="body-text">The UAE does even better than that. The country&#8217;s passport jumped from 65th to 15th place in the latest rankings. A total of 174 countries exempt visa for people who own UAE passports.</p>
<p class="body-text">According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the ban on international visitors by a third of the world has made passports no longer as useful as they were before the pandemic.</p>
<p class="body-text">Meanwhile, Christian H. Kaelin, President of Henley Partners and creator of the passport index, said: &#8220;The latest rankings show that economic recovery and development depend on global mobility, including individual freedom of movement.</p>
<p class="body-text">No one expected the move to return to pre-pandemic times soon. However, we can expect more than we did a few months ago.&#8221;</p>
<div class="body-block">
<p class="body-text"><strong>The countries with the most powerful passports:</strong></p>
<p class="body-text">1. Japan (193)</p>
