BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 August 2025 – The year 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Heritage Convention, a milestone that highlights the country’s commitment to preserving its cultural and natural treasures. Among these jewels, the Hani Terraced Fields in Yuanyang County of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China’s Yunnan Province, stand as a breathtaking testament to the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature. Nestled on mountain slopes with the gradient ranging from 15 to 75 degrees, the terraces cascade in stunning layers and can include as many as 3,000 steps. Over a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Hani people migrated from the north to a valley in southern China. Despite the challenging natural environment, they made the most of the mountains and waters. The Hani people cultivated over 1 million mu (approximately 66,666.67 hectares) of rice terraces, some situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 meters, according to Ma Chongwei, a professor of Yunnan University. No matter how high the mountain, water finds its way. The Hani people constructed thousands of channels to divert streams. These channels wind through villages and terraced fields before merging with rivers in the valleys. Channel maintainers oversee the water channels, keeping them clean and ensuring proper flow. For over a thousand years, the Hani people have used water allocation tools to distribute water into a network of irrigation channels and ditches, showcasing their farming wisdom. Throughout the long agrarian era, the Hani people transformed mountains and rivers, sharing this landscape with the Yi, Dai and other Chinese ethnic groups living downhill. Deeply integrated into the ethnic culture, the terraces have now become the eternal spiritual homeland of the Hani people. In the terraces lies a harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature, the agrarian wisdom attuned to natural rhythms and an enduring spirit of perseverance.

Tailored Solutions for Complex Pet Health Issues HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 August 2025 – To address the increasingly diverse medical needs of pet owners in Hong Kong, Veterinary Emergency Centre (VEC) is proud to announce the launch of two major new services: Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialty Service (Internal Medicine) and HomeVet Services, in addition to our existing 24-hour emergency and critical care. This marks VEC’s commitment to providing a one-stop, comprehensive healthcare solution for pets across Hong Kong, ranging from emergency care and advanced diagnostics to in-home palliative support — aiming to be the most trusted guardian of your pet’s health. VEC has provided 24-hour emergency, critical care, surgery, outpatient, and hospitalization services for pets, supported by a team of experienced and dedicated veterinarians who remain on duty even during adverse weather. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities including operating theatres, intensive care, CT & X-ray Imaging, echocardiography, dental care, endoscopy, blood transfusion, oxygen chambers, and cryotherapy — ensuring precise diagnosis and treatment at critical moments. Three Core Services for Comprehensive Pet Wellness 1. 24-Hour Emergency Care: Every Second Counts in Safeguarding Lives As the frontline of veterinary medicine, VEC’s emergency services utilize a highly professional triage system to ensure that pets in critical condition receive prompt attention, maximizing the golden window for life-saving treatment. Our team of veterinarians and nurses is on-site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and ready to respond immediately to emergencies such as gastric torsion, dystocia, foreign body ingestion, accidental fractures, hematuria, or urinary obstruction, arranging surgery whenever necessary. For pets requiring hospitalization, our dedicated nursing staff provide owners with daily updates, offering reassurance during anxious times. Posey Leung, VEC Hospital Manager, shares “In veterinary care, our nursing team serves as the eyes and ears of our veterinarians, playing a vital role on the front lines. We continuously monitor the vital signs of hospitalized animals, quickly detect any changes in their condition, and accurately interpret monitoring data. In the emergency department, we gather medical histories, conduct initial assessments and triage, and determine the urgency of each case—all within minutes—to ensure critically ill pets receive the most timely and appropriate care.” 2. Internal Medicine: The “Sherlock Holmes” of Complex Pet Cases Our newly launched Internal Medicine service is dedicated to tackling complex, chronic, and unexplained cases often referred from other clinics. Acting as the “Sherlock Holmes” of the veterinary world, our internal medicine specialists manage chronic conditions (such as persistent vomiting, diarrhea, and endocrine disorders), severe illnesses (like multi-organ failure or pancreatitis), and other intricate non-surgical diseases. Fanny Cheung, VEC Assistant Operation Manager, explains “What distinguishes our internal medicine specialists is the time and depth they invest in understanding each pet’s medical history. We allocate up to one hour for every consultation, enabling thorough communication between the veterinarian and the owner to craft a highly personalized treatment plan and significantly improve the pet’s quality of life. Importantly, our specialist Dr. Koo is fluent in both Cantonese and English, allowing for direct, seamless communication with owners, removing language barriers and ensuring more accurate diagnoses.” 3. HomeVet Services: Reducing Stress with Care in a Familiar Environment To meet the growing demand for flexible care, VEC has introduced HomeVet Services, bringing professional veterinary care directly to pets in the comfort of their own homes. “Housecall services have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they effectively reduce the anxiety pets may experience in unfamiliar settings. This approach is especially beneficial for pets with mobility challenges or larger breeds, allowing them to receive care without the stress of travel. It also offers great convenience for households with multiple pets.” Fanny shares. “By visiting pets at home, our veterinarians can gain a more complete understanding of their daily environment and habits, making it easier to identify potential health risks such as environmental allergens or unsafe toys. When a pet reaches the end of its life, we can also provide in-home palliative care, ensuring a peaceful farewell surrounded by family in familiar surroundings. Most importantly, if further diagnostics or intensive care are needed, pets can be seamlessly transferred to VEC’s 24-hour hospital, where our expert team provides continuous monitoring and advanced treatment.” Fanny adds. VEC remains committed to ongoing investment in resources, combining a skilled professional team, state-of-the-art facilities, and compassionate service to provide Hong Kong’s pet community with the most trusted and reliable medical support.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 August 2025 – Vingroup was awarded the First-Class Labor Order in recognition of its exceptional achievements in developing the National Exhibition and Convention Center. This prestigious award acknowledges the Group’s breakthrough efforts and determination in completing the project 15 months ahead of schedule, celebrating the 80th National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and making a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the capital city and the nation. Vietnam’s Party General Secretary Tô Lâm presents the First-Class Labor Order to Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng – Chairman of Vingroup – in recognition of the Group’s outstanding achievements, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Hanoi, Vietnam. The conferment ceremony was part of the Inauguration and Groundbreaking Ceremony of National Projects commemorating the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025), held at the inauguration site of the National Exhibition and Convention Center, Tu Lien Bridge area, Dong Anh District, Hanoi. The National Exhibition and Convention Center is a state-level key project, ranked among the top 10 largest exhibition centers in the world. With a total area of about 900,000 square meters, it is envisioned to become a premier international destination for global trade fairs and exhibitions, as well as a new symbol of Hanoi’s development. Construction commenced on August 30, 2024, and the site was handed over on June 27, 2025—after just 10 months of construction, 15 months ahead of schedule. This remarkable pace set a new benchmark in Vietnam’s construction sector, overcoming major challenges in engineering and executing a massive steel dome structure of unprecedented scale and complexity. As both investor and general contractor, Vingroup maximized all resources, proactively designed construction plans, coordinated manpower, equipment, and materials, and ensured seamless supply chain management across multiple contractors. During peak construction periods, the project mobilized hundreds of contractors and about 3,000 workers and engineers, supported by 800–1,000 pieces of heavy machinery sourced from across the country, including 300–500 ton cranes and super-heavy transport vehicles. The site operated at full intensity, 24/7 in three shifts, optimizing every moment to shorten construction time by 60%. While accelerating progress, Vingroup also maintained strict oversight of each component, ensuring safety, quality, and long-term sustainability of the project. Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman and CEO of Vingroup, shared: “Receiving the First-Class Labor Order at the inauguration of the National Exhibition and Convention Center is a profound honor and pride for all Vingroup employees. We are committed to continuing our spirit of perseverance and determination to operate the Center successfully, contributing to making Hanoi and Vietnam leading destinations for world-class political, economic, cultural, and social events.” At the heart of the Center is the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, one of the world’s largest circular exhibition hall with an area of approximately 130,000 square meters and a central height of 56 meters. Located in Hanoi, the National Exhibition and Convention Center covers 90 hectares and ranks among the world’s top 10 largest exhibition venues. Inspired by the sacred Golden Turtle God (Kim Quy) of the Co Loa legend, the hall’s unique architecture is hailed as a new wonder of the capital. Its engineering posed extraordinary challenges: a steel dome weighing 24,000 tons, assembled from ultra-large steel beams and high-strength bolts using specialized torque-severing methods to ensure quality control and double the standard safety factor. The roof is covered with ultra-light, ultra-durable fiberglass fabric, offering natural translucency and energy efficiency in line with global green building standards. Beyond the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, Vingroup has developed a comprehensive exhibition ecosystem including four outdoor plazas (East, West, South, North), the VinPalace International Convention Center, landscaped green parks and lakes, and large-scale parking facilities. With capacity for hundreds of thousands outdoors and thousands indoors, the Center is not only suited for mega exhibitions but also for large-scale events such as concerts, national festivals, and global technology showcases—meeting the strictest international requirements and redefining Vietnam’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry. One of the key drivers behind this construction milestone is the upcoming National Achievements Exhibition – 80 Years of Independence, Freedom, and Happiness, taking place from August 28 to September 5, 2025. For the first time, all provinces, ministries, sectors, and enterprises across Vietnam will gather in a single national-scale exhibition, expected to attract millions of visitors and reignite national pride. The accelerated completion of the National Exhibition and Convention Center not only demonstrates Vingroup’s strong financial capacity, professional execution, and effective project management, but also affirms its commitment to serving the nation and the strength of Vietnam’s private enterprises in this new era of global integration.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 August 2025 – To mark the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Vingroup inaugurated and broke ground on six major projects across the country. The highlight was the inauguration ceremony of the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Dong Anh, Hanoi, alongside five other landmark projects in the fields of socio-economic infrastructure, transportation, industry, urban development, and tourism in Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Ha Tinh, Tay Ninh, and Dong Nai. The General Secretary, the Prime Minister, and other delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the National Exhibition and Convention Center – a key national project. These events form part of the official national program to inaugurate and commence construction of projects celebrating the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025). The inauguration of the National Exhibition and Convention Center at Tu Lien Bridge Road, Dong Anh, Hanoi, served as the central venue of the program, with the attendance of General Secretary To Lam, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, members and former members of the Politburo, members of the Party Central Committee, as well as current and former leaders of the Party, the State, and heads of central and local ministries and agencies. Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the National Exhibition and Convention Center, completed in just under 10 months, is poised to become a space that will foster the development of Vietnam’s cultural and entertainment industries. The Prime Minister praised the determination of enterprises, particularly private ones, in building and developing national infrastructure with the spirit: “What we say, we do. What we commit, we deliver. Once we act and commit, there must be tangible results. And today, we have proved this.” Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also affirmed that these projects demonstrate Vietnam’s determination to achieve self-reliance and master technology in socio-economic infrastructure development, creating projects in Vietnam, for Vietnam, and by the Vietnamese people. “I hope that we will see more iconic projects of Vietnam, admired and recognized by friends across the region and around the world,” the Prime Minister said. The National Exhibition and Convention Center spans more than 900,000 m², positioned to become the largest exhibition complex in Southeast Asia and one of the Top 10 largest in the world. At the core of the complex is the iconic Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, featuring a colossal 24,000-ton steel dome, 56 meters high, inspired by the legendary Golden Turtle God (Kim Quy) whose myth is closely linked with the heritage site of Co Loa. Covering approximately 130,000 m², the Kim Quy Hall comprises nine major exhibition halls and one central grand hall, offering an ideal space for specialized exhibitions and large-scale events, with versatile layouts optimized for diverse displays. The exhibition ecosystem also includes a permanent exhibition center (Block A), four outdoor exhibition areas (East – West – South – North), and VinPalace Co Loa, the largest international convention center in Vietnam, covering 16,800 m² with 12 banquet and conference halls that can host events from several hundred to over 5,000 guests. Complementary facilities include landscaped parks and lakes, a food court of over 3,000 m², and parking areas spanning more than 18 hectares, accommodating over 10,000 vehicles. After an accelerated construction period of just 10 months, the National Exhibition and Convention Center has officially been inaugurated and is ready to host the national milestone event celebrating the 80th National Independence Day: the exhibition “80 Years of Independence – Freedom – Happiness.” The second project site was the inauguration of the May Chai Bridge (Royal Bridge) and its approach roads, part of the Vinhomes Royal Island project in Hai Phong. Spanning nearly 2.2 km in length and 21 meters in width with four lanes, the bridge connects Vu Yen Island with Le Thanh Tong Street, reducing travel time to the city center to under five minutes. With its twin arch towers symbolizing both soaring wings and a welcoming “World Gateway Bridge,” the Royal Bridge is set to become a new landmark of Hai Phong, embodying openness to investment and economic opportunities. The third project site was the groundbreaking of an 18-hole international-standard golf course in Quang Hanh, Quang Ninh, covering 100 hectares. Nestled among natural forests with views of both mountains and Ha Long Bay, the course was designed under the philosophy of environmental preservation by renowned contemporary golf course designer Doug Carrick. Once operational, it will elevate Quang Ninh’s reputation in tourism and sports. The fourth project site marked the start of construction on the Vinhomes Industrial Park in Vung Ang, Ha Tinh. Located on lots CN4 and CN5 of the Vung Ang Economic Zone, the project spans nearly 965 hectares, making it one of the largest in the region, with modern, synchronized infrastructure including factories, ports, and logistics facilities. The project is set to attract leading national and regional enterprises in industry, high technology, logistics, and exports—driving local economic growth and enabling Vietnamese enterprises to expand globally. The fifth project site was the groundbreaking of the Phuoc Vinh Tay New Urban Area in Tay Ninh, covering 1,089.6 hectares. Developed as an eco-smart sustainable city, it will feature a complete ecosystem of education, healthcare, commerce, and services, positioning it as one of the province’s most significant future urban developments.
