BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 May 2025 – On the morning of May 20, the 29th World Gas Conference (WGC2025) opened at the China National Convention Center in Beijing. This marks the first time in the nearly 100-year history of the World Gas Conference that the event is being held in China. As one of the three flagship events of the International Gas Union (IGU), this year’s conference is themed “Energizing a Sustainable Future.” It has brought together more than 3,000 delegates from 70 countries and regions around the world to engage in in-depth discussions and consensus-building on global energy transition, the development of the natural gas industry, and pathways to a sustainable future. Energizing a Sustainable Future: The 29th World Gas Conference Opens in Beijing The opening ceremony was chaired by Mr. Cao Yujun, Chair of the National Organizing Committee (NOC). Speeches were delivered by Li Yalan, President of the International Gas Union; Yin Yong, Mayor of Beijing; Wan Jinsong, Deputy Director of the National Energy Administration; Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies; and Dai Houliang, Chairman of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). Li Yalan, emphasized that amid multiple global challenges such as climate change, energy security, and geopolitical tensions, natural gas — with its advantages of abundant reserves, cleanliness, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness — is becoming an indispensable pillar of the global energy mix. She noted that China, as the world’s largest importer of natural gas and LNG, is drawing growing international attention for its development model. In particular, she highlighted how Beijing has leveraged natural gas to significantly improve air quality, offering a replicable model for other developing countries. Yin Yong stated that Beijing firmly implements the country’s new energy security strategy and continues to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the energy structure. Currently, natural gas accounts for more than 35% of Beijing’s energy consumption. Through initiatives such as coal-to-gas conversion, the city has achieved a more than 60% reduction in average annual PM2.5 concentrations and nearly a 50% decrease in carbon intensity over the past decade. He reaffirmed Beijing’s commitment to opening up and deepening international energy cooperation while promoting sustainable urban development. Wan Jinsong noted that China’s energy production and consumption continue to grow, with increasingly robust infrastructure and a nationwide unified gas network essentially completed. He emphasized significant improvements in natural gas dispatching and emergency response capacity. He said breakthroughs were seen in deep-earth, deep-sea, and unconventional resource development, helping boost output of natural gas. Wan proposed four key initiatives: enhancing supply capabilities to serve global public welfare, prioritizing ecology in green development, empowering the energy system through digital transformation, and improving governance via multilateral cooperation. He called for continued openness and win–win collaboration to jointly build a secure, efficient, clean, and low-carbon global energy system. Patrick Pouyanné highlighted TotalEnergies’ efforts to maintain its leadership in the conventional oil and gas market while actively participating in the global energy transition. He reiterated TotalEnergies’ commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and to furthering international cooperation to build a diversified, clean, secure, and sustainable energy future. Dai Houliang introduced CNPC’s recent breakthroughs in deep oil and gas exploration, including the successful completion of a 10,000-meter ultra-deep drilling mission and continuous progress in unconventional resource development. As Asia’s largest and the world’s second-largest energy company, CNPC plays a key role in safeguarding national energy security and consistently undertakes critical supply missions during peak winter and summer periods. He stressed CNPC’s unwavering commitment to green transition, accelerating the integration of oil, gas, and new energy, and building a synergistic, multi-energy system. As the only Chinese member of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), CNPC will continue to actively participate in global climate governance, contribute to China’s carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, and help extend the benefits of green development to more countries, clients, and communities, he said. Following the speeches, Mr. Cao Yujun, Chair of the NOC, invited Yin Li, Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the CPC; Yin Yong, Mayor of Beijing; Li Yalan, President of the IGU; Wan Jinsong, Deputy Director of the National Energy Administration; Li Xiaolong, Vice Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development; Dai Houliang, Chairman of CNPC; and Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, to jointly inaugurate the opening ceremony. As the countdown reached zero, the main screen lit up with the words “WGC2025 Officially Opens,” and the venue erupted in enthusiastic applause—marking the official launch of the 29th World Gas Conference. According to schedule, WGC2025 will feature more than 80 high-level forums covering topics such as LNG development, natural gas and renewable energy integration, energy security, and digital transformation. More than 400 distinguished guests will engage in deep dialogue on industry trends and technological innovation. The concurrent exhibition spans 50,000 square meters — the largest in the event’s history — and is expected to attract more than 30,000 professional visitors from China and abroad. The 29th World Gas Conference (WGC2025) is presented by the International Gas Union, hosted by Beijing Gas Group, and exclusively organized by Capital Convention & Exhibition Group.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 May 2025 – Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong and LANDMARK are delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of a new dining venture in partnership with award-winning French chef, Daniel Boulud. Terrace Boulud, Hong Kong is scheduled to open in January 2026 on the 25th floor of LANDMARK PRINCE’S in Central Hong Kong, bringing Chef Boulud’s acclaimed French cuisine to Hong Kong for the first time. The concept is connected to the hotel via an existing enclosed walkway and features an expansive rooftop terrace with unmatched views of the Hong Kong skyline and harbour. An iconic landmark in Hong Kong, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s original flagship hotel has been an integral part of the city’s culinary landscape since its establishment in 1963. This new opening will mark Terrace Boulud’s inaugural presence in Asia and will be the hotel’s first dining venture beyond the iconic flagship hotel’s own premises which are home to nine outstanding restaurants and bars, including MICHELIN-starred venues, which have been offering guests legendary and memorable dining experiences over the last 60 years. Mandarin Oriental now extends its legacy of culinary innovation and excellence to the beautifully reimagined LANDMARK PRINCE’S. Last year, Hongkong Land announced ‘Tomorrow’s CENTRAL’, a US$1 billion transformation of LANDMARK, which includes the reimagination of 10 world-class luxury retail ‘Maisons’. Upon completion, LANDMARK will feature over 100 diverse restaurants, bars and grab-and-go offerings, including 9 with outdoor terraces. Mandarin Oriental already operates 16 restaurants in Central and LANDMARK, boasting 9 MICHELIN Stars. Its restaurants and bars are highly coveted by top-tier customers of LANDMARK’s BESPOKE loyalty programme – in 2024, over 3,000 BESPOKE members dined at Mandarin Oriental, with some 300 of these customers ranking among LANDMARK’s top 1,000 customers. Terrace Boulud represents Chef Boulud’s continual exploration of his most fundamental culinary inspirations and a highly personal, soulful expression of his craft, adding to his global presence which includes the MICHELIN-starred New York flagship Daniel, as well as outposts in Toronto, Palm Beach, Riyadh and the Bahamas. Skilfully reinterpreting classic bistro favourites with a contemporary flair, Terrace Boulud will invite guests to a sensory exploration of French culinary delights complemented by Asian-inspired creations. The seasonal, rotating menu will be based on Chef Boulud’s four culinary muses: La Tradition (French classics), La Saison (specialities of the market), Le Potager (the vegetable garden), Le Voyage (exotic flavours from the world’s great cuisines). Perched high amidst the shimmering skyscrapers of the city, the venue will exude timeless elegance and warmth, capturing the sophisticated charm of a French café as well as the international glamour of Hong Kong. Guests will be able to enjoy lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner within the expansive restaurant. In addition, the spectacular rooftop terrace will offer creative cocktails, a refined wine selection, and curated local beers to complement the breathtaking views of the harbour, late into the night. Terrace Boulud will be designed by Malherbe Paris, known for its bold and narrative-driven approach to hospitality, who will also be designing the new public and wellness spaces at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. Inspired by the golden age of French brasseries and the elegance of luxury train travel, the interiors will invite guests into a timeless space where Parisian sophistication meets the lush vibrancy of Hong Kong. Textural contrasts, curved woodwork, hand-crafted details and layered lighting will create a warm and immersive atmosphere, paying tribute to local artisanship and creating a sense of journey. Echoing Chef Daniel Boulud’s global culinary vision, the space will be a refined celebration of the French Art de Vivre — interpreted with a contemporary twist in the heart of Asia. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2025. “We are thrilled to be working with Chef Daniel Boulud and LANDMARK to introduce this unique concept to the city. The space on top of LANDMARK PRINCE’S is exceptional, truly at the heart of Hong Kong, and is the perfect setting in which to create this extraordinary dining experience that exemplifies Mandarin Oriental’s commitment to excellence,” says Greg Liddell, Area Vice President, Operations and General Manager of Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. “The 25th floor of LANDMARK PRINCE’S is a legendary location that has captivated guests from both Hong Kong and around the world. We look forward to an exciting new chapter in this storied destination and further deepening our partnership with Mandarin Oriental” says Alexander Li, Director and Head of Retail, Hong Kong & Macau of Hongkong Land. “It is an honour for me to partner with Mandarin Oriental to bring Terrace Boulud to Hong Kong. I am endlessly inspired by the flavours and culinary variety of the region, which provides a wonderful interchange with French tradition. I look forward to welcoming our guests to explore it with me in such an iconic location,” said Chef Daniel Boulud.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 May 2025 – Sanofi, a global leader in biopharmaceutical innovation, recently hosted a hybrid symposium titled “Safeguarding High-Risk Groups: The Importance of Flu Prevention and Effective Communication.” The event brought together 380 healthcare professionals from across South-East Asia and India to address the burden of influenza among vulnerable populations and shared strategies for improving health outcomes. Panel session The symposium highlighted the disproportionate impact of seasonal influenza on high-risk groups, particularly adults aged 65 and above, individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes, and those with cardiovascular diseases. Prof. Sasisopin Kiertiburanakul, from the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand and Vice President of the Infectious Disease Association of Thailand (IDAT) delivered a compelling keynote on regional influenza epidemiology, while medical experts presented data on flu’s impact on vulnerable populations. According to recent World Health Organization data, influenza continues to be a major global health concern, affecting approximately 1 billion people annually worldwide. Of these cases, 3-5 million develop into severe illness, resulting in 290,000-650,000 deaths globally. “These figures are particularly alarming for vulnerable populations. Influenza can trigger severe complications including pneumonia, myocardial infarction, worsen existing conditions and lead to even death,” said Prof. Sasisopin Kiertiburanakul. “Safeguarding our vulnerable people with flu vaccination is a safe and effective protection. Evidence shows it can significantly reduce hospitalizations and mortality among our most vulnerable people. It represents a sound investment in public health.” The event featured interactive sessions where medical experts from Malaysia and Vietnam discussed the critical importance of influenza vaccination for high-risk groups, including people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and older adults. Despite diverse attitudes towards vaccines, experts emphasized that improving access to flu immunization and implementing effective, evidence-based communication strategies are key to reach WHO’s target of 75% influenza vaccination coverage among high-risk populations. “At Sanofi, we believe protecting vulnerable groups against flu requires a well-rounded approach. Through this symposium, we’re empowering healthcare professionals with the tools and knowledge they need to better protect those most at risk in our communities.” emphasized Ruby Dizon, Vaccines Medical Head of Sanofi Southeast Asia and India. Participants gained practical insights on addressing common misconceptions about influenza prevention and learned techniques for framing conversations around the specific benefits for high-risk patients. The symposium concluded with a call to action urging healthcare professionals to unite in protecting vulnerable groups through appropriate flu vaccination. For high-risk individuals, protection against influenza isn’t just a routine health measure—it’s protection beyond flu including against potentially devastating complications. Through this initiative, Sanofi continues its commitment to reducing the global burden of influenza by supporting healthcare professionals with evidence-based strategies and combating misinformation about flu vaccinations to improve quality of life.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 May 2025 – LiveSpo® NAVAX – a nasal-spray probiotic product developed by Vietnamese scientists – has recently been published in the high-ranking international scientific journal Scientific Reports-Nature, recognizing its effectiveness in supporting the treatment of rhinosinusitis and otitis media in children. This marks the third consecutive study on the product published in a prestigious international scientific platform, reinforcing a promising new direction in non-antibiotic respiratory care. The findings from the clinical study, conducted Thai Binh University of Medicine and Pharmacy in collaboration with other institutions, was published on January 27, 2025, in Scientific Reports-Nature, a renowned journal under the Nature Portfolio (UK). The results demonstrated significant effectiveness in children within just 3–7 days of use. Additionally, data also showed positive improvements in adults, highlighting the product’s potential for broader application in the future. The study was carried out from November 2023 to December 2024 with the participation of 126 patients, including both children and adults. Among children with acute rhinosinusitis and perforated acute otitis media, the treatment results were particularly notable: after 3 days of using LiveSpo® NAVAX, nasal congestion decreased by 68%, twice as much as the saline group. After 7 days, 97% of the children had no more nasal discharge, and 100% had no more ear discharge. The concentration of pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae in nasal and ear secretions dropped more than 1,200 times. Importantly, no side effects were recorded during the entire trial – even in children with weakened immune systems. In the adult group with acute sinusitis, symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, and purulent discharge improved significantly after 3 days of use – with reductions of 53%, 78%, and 61%, respectively. After 7 days, 91% of patients no longer experienced nasal discharge. Laboratory results showed a substantial reduction in pathogenic bacteria: Streptococcus pneumoniae decreased over 380-fold and Haemophilus influenzae decreased over 49,000-fold compared to the Control group receiving physiological saline According to the research team, the effectiveness of LiveSpo® NAVAX origins from its ability to modulate local inflammatory responses and enhance mucosal immunity through the competitive biological mechanism of spore-forming Bacillus probiotics. Inflammatory markers such as IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α significantly decreased, while levels of IgA – a key protective antibody at the mucosal surface – increased, contributing to the restoration of the nose and ear’s natural defense barrier. This study not only adds to the growing body of scientific evidence supporting LiveSpo® NAVAX’s efficacy in respiratory care but also affirms Vietnam’s biomedical research capabilities on the international scientific map. It paves the way for a safe, sustainable respiratory treatment alternative that reduces reliance on antibiotics – especially for vulnerable groups like children. Dr. Nguyen Hoa Anh, Chairman and Founder of LiveSpo Pharma, shared: “At LiveSpo, we prioritize the research and development of internationally standardized products, combining modern medicine with advanced probiotic technology to deliver safe and effective health solutions for the community – all with a vision of A Future Without Antibiotics.” References: Khieu TH, Le DP, Nguyen BT, Ngo BT, Chu HT, Truong DM, Nguyen HM, Nguyen AH, Pham TD, Van Nguyen AT.
