(hereinafter "NI"), a company engaged in medical and health checkup services. This partnership aims to expand the JCB Advanced Medical Tourism Program, which has been promoting advanced medical tourism to Japan for affluent Indonesians since 2023.On the same occasion, NI also signed an MoU with PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk. As a result, Danamon Privilege Banking customers who hold Danamon JCB Precious Cards will receive the special service benefits of the JCB Exclusive Medical Tourism Program—benefits that are also available to JCB Indonesia Ultimate cardholders.Partnership OverviewMedical tourism is becoming increasingly popular among Indonesia's affluent segment, who are increasingly traveling abroad to access advanced medical services. While Singapore and Malaysia remain top destinations, Japan continues to face challenges, such as language barriers that limit access to its medical services.To overcome these challenges, JCB launched the JCB Advanced Medical Tourism Program in October 2023, initially offering services in Osaka for its affluent Indonesian cardmembers. In August 2024, the program expanded to Tokyo, further enhancing access to high-quality medical care in Japan.Through this partnership, JCB is expanding its services to offer cardmembers the option of receiving care at either Tokyo Midtown Clinic (Roppongi) or Nihonbashi Muromachi Mitsui Tower Midtown Clinic, both of which are affiliated with NI. Additionally, Ultimate cardmembers holding JCB Cards issued in Indonesia will be eligible for complimentary health checkup services at these two facilities.*English-language support will be provided throughout the entire process—from preliminary consultations to medical feedback—ensuring that cardmembers can receive continuous medical care with peace of mind.Furthermore, through JCB’s partner travel agency in Indonesia, assistance will be provided for all necessary arrangements related to medical visits to Japan, including flights, accommodations, and transportation. A special hospitality program will also be offered, featuring personalized sightseeing arrangements and access to JCB's exclusive privileges in Japan.*The health checkup provided by NI will be offered free of charge. However, to receive this service, cardmembers must select a health checkup option from the available menu (starting at 44,000 yen including tax).

By fostering strong partnerships with numerous Japanese companies across both Indonesia and Japan, and leveraging its brand presence, JCB delivers the unique value of Japan to its cardmembers.This partnership with NI was made possible by the shared commitment of both companies to providing Japanese quality medical services in the Indonesian market.JCB will continue to enhance its distinctive and unique value under the "SUGOI JAPAN" initiative and strive to become the brand of choice for its cardmembers.The Concept of SUGOI JAPANJCB offers a range of exclusive services centered around the themes of "Japan" and "unique to JCB," based on three core concepts: "VISIT JAPAN," "JCB DAY," and "JAPAN DINNING.” JCB aims to ensure that its services are easy to understand and use for all cardmembers.Note: These services are limited to JCB Cards issued in Indonesia.About Noage InternationalNI is a company that aims to achieve “age-defying health and longevity,” a vision reflected in its name, “No age.” The company provides high-quality medical services for international patients at facilities, such as Tokyo Midtown Clinic.NI is committed to helping all customers lead healthy and fulfilling lives by offering personalized support that transcends language barriers.

Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan and MHI Sign MOU to Conduct Joint Study of Decarbonization Strategy for Uzbekistan

05/27/2025
TOKYO, May 27, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and the Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan (MOE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to conduct a joint study of a power development plan with stable power source needs, including the potential upgrade of the country's gas turbine fleet with hydrogen co-firing capability as well as other technologies that can contribute to decarbonization.Under this MOU, both entities have been working on the following three items:- Evaluation of an upgrade for existing power plants leveraging MHI equipment, to meet necessary parameters;- Evaluation of new gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) plants, including hydrogen co-firing and scope of necessary modifications;- Capacity planning with latest technologies.The program was officially launched after the agreement on the detailed work plan between the MOE and MHI, and will continue for two years with financial support from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan.Uzbekistan's government recently published its plan for introducing renewable power by 2030, which aims to achieve a generation ratio for renewables of more than 54% by that date. MHI has supplied systems for thermal power generation installations in Uzbekistan which are contributing toward generating stable power as demand increases; and which also offer a variety of decarbonization technologies such as hydrogen co-firing and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). Through this program, the MOE and MHI will evaluate the current plan and determine necessary countermeasures, including implementation of new systems and the modification of the current gas turbine fleet to supplement renewables introduction and promote further decarbonization.In January 2024, METI and the MOE concluded a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) to promote and enhance Japan-Uzbekistan energy cooperation in an effort to achieve a realistic energy transition that takes advantage of all available energy sources, technologies, and options, including energy conservation; renewable energy; hydrogen; ammonia; e-fuels; CCUS, carbon recycling; and highly efficient power generation technology.

These issues demand urgent attention and collective action to protect communities worldwide. Now in its fifth edition, ASGH is a key event for the global healthcare industry, and we are proud that connections made through ASGH have enabled many new investments and collaborations in healthcare innovation. Alongside ASGH, the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair is taking place. There, you will find the latest HealthTech solutions from around the globe, with a particular focus on hospital equipment, rehabilitation, elderly care and biotech. As anchor events of the International Healthcare Week, ASGH and Medical Fair highlights Hong Kong’s commitment to working with partners to nurture an innovative health and medical sector,” Dr Lam said.In his opening speech, Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive John Lee said: "Under the theme of "Fostering Global Collaboration for a Shared Future", this summit reaffirms Hong Kong's pivotal role as a leading health innovation hub in the region. Under the "one country, two systems" principle, Hong Kong enjoys unique connectivity with both Mainland China and the world. As the world's freest economy and one of the top three international financial centres, we offer an efficient, open and fair business environment with robust intellectual property protection. We maintain free flows of information, capital, goods and talent. We are also emerging as a leading hub for scientific innovation, technological advancement and world-class education.”Prof Cao Xuetao, Vice-Minister of the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, gave special remarks, noting: "China continues to open up and welcomes leading foreign-owned hospitals into the market through investment or joint ventures. We hope that our global partners can further localise and upgrade their mid-to-high-end products, resulting in win-win outcomes for all.”Additionally, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), delivered remarks at the opening session via video link and stated, “The theme of ASGH could not be more appropriate given the challenges facing global health at the moment.

While the Government has been addressing the issue of manpower shortage through a multipronged strategy, by increasing the number of intakes for local universities and admitting qualified non-locally trained healthcare workers, the 2024 Policy Address announced that the Government supports the plan to establish a third medical school. Indeed, Hong Kong has already hosted two top 30 world class medical schools but we have the ability and the need to develop the third one which shall adopt an innovative strategic positioning in pursuit of complementary development with the two existing ones.” The session was moderated by Prof Tsui Lap-chee, Chairman of the University of Hong Kong Foundation for Educational Development and Research, focused on key issues faced by healthcare systems in addressing global challenges.

CBL International Limited Announces Name Change of Singapore Subsidiary to Support Regional Growth Strategy

05/27/2025
Kuala Lumpur, May 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CBL International Limited (NASDAQ: BANL) (“CBL” or the “Company”), the listing vehicle of Banle Group (“Banle” or the “Group”), a leading marine fuel logistics company in the Asia-Pacific region, today announced the official renaming of its Singapore-based wholly owned subsidiary, Majestic Energy (Singapore) Pte Ltd, to support its regional growth strategy.Effective immediately, Majestic Energy (Singapore) Pte Ltd has been officially renamed to Banle International (Singapore) Pte Ltd, reflecting the Group’s deepening commitment to the Singapore market and its strategic expansion into sustainable fuels.Singapore remains the world's largest bunkering hub, with annual sales close to 55 million metric tons in 2024, increased by 6% year-over-year as compared to 2023, according to Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (“MPA”) statistics. While conventional fuels still dominate the market, demand for sustainable fuels such as biofuels, LNG, and methanol continues to rise steadily. Notably, biofuel sales in the first four months of 2025 in Singapore have already surpassed 50% of the total volume recorded in 2024, according to MPA statistics.As the primary fuel bunkering hub in the Asia-Pacific region, Singapore serves as a strategic base for CBL’s regional expansion. CBL’s revenue in Singapore increased by 102% year-over-year in 2024 as compared to 2023. In March 2025, the Company launched its first biofuel supply services in Singapore — a key regional port — as part of its broader initiative to offer sustainable fuel alternatives across the region, followed by biofuel supply in Malaysia, Hong Kong and various ports in China. CBL’s biofuel sales volumes and sales surged over 600% year-over-year in 2024, supported by strengthened supplier relationships and reliable supply chains. These efforts help customers meet IMO GHG targets while offering sustainable, cost-effective alternatives.“Singapore plays a pivotal role in our long-term growth strategy,” said Dr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of CBL. “The renaming of our subsidiary underscores our strengthened presence in this critical market and reinforces our commitment to supporting the global maritime industry’s transition toward greener energy solutions.”Despite the increasing competition in Singapore’s bunkering sector, CBL continues to differentiate itself through its agile operations and customer-centric approach. The Company prides itself on its ability to adapt and tailor solutions to meet the specific needs of clients and suppliers, enabling it to capture new opportunities in both traditional and emerging fuel segments.Christofel Tian, our Head of Singapore, added "With our rebranding to Banle International (Singapore) Pte Ltd, we are not only aligning ourselves more closely with the Group’s identity but also signaling our long-term commitment to the Singapore market. As the global bunkering landscape evolves, especially with the rapid adoption of sustainable fuels, we are well-positioned to grow alongside Singapore’s vision of becoming a leader in sustainable maritime solutions."With its robust regulatory environment, mature infrastructure, and strong government support, Singapore is well-positioned to maintain its leadership in the global bunkering market — and CBL is committed to growing alongside it.About the Banle GroupCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) is the listing vehicle of Banle Group, a reputable marine fuel logistic company based in the Asia Pacific region that was established in 2015. We are committed to providing customers with one-stop solution for vessel refueling, which is referred to as bunkering facilitator in the bunkering industry.

(SeaPRwire) - 歐盟在其針對流離失所者的臨時計畫下，已接納約 430 萬烏克蘭人 據 Euractiv 週一報導，引用一位歐盟外交官的消息，歐盟成員國據報正準備重新評估居住在歐盟境內的烏克蘭難民的法律地位。最早可能在 6 月開始討論退出《臨時保護指令》(Temporary Protection Directive, TPD) 的問題。 布魯塞爾在 2022 年初烏克蘭衝突升級後不久啟用了 TPD。該指令最初於 2001 年制定，提供廣泛的福利，包括居留許可、住房、就業機會、教育、醫療保健、經濟援助和社會服務。 該計畫最初預定於 2025 年 3 月到期，但最近已延長至 2026 年 3 月。 這位不願透露姓名的外交官告訴 Euractiv，在“地緣政治格局變化”的背景下，幕後關於“退出策略”的討論正在加劇。 預計該問題將成為 6 月 12 日至 13 日舉行的歐盟司法和內政事務委員會會議的中心議題。 Euractiv 指出，儘管大多數成員國目前支持繼續執行該計畫，但法律專家警告說，進一步的延長可能會擴大該指令的最初意圖。 International Centre for Migration Policy Development 的高級政策顧問 Martin Wagner 告訴該媒體：“上次延長時，我們已經如履薄冰。”“對該指令的直接解讀意味著三年後，它就結束了。” Wagner 強調需要“真正討論替代方案，以及如何以某種方式退出臨時保護”，並指出該指令從未打算作為長期解決方案。 另一位不願透露姓名的外交官警告說，歐盟有可能“壓垮國家庇護系統——這正是 TPD 旨在防止的。” Wagner 認為，目前的受益人數是“各國通常處理人數的數倍”，稱現狀是“難以置信的負擔”。 這場辯論的出現，正值成員國在管理大量湧入的烏克蘭難民方面面臨越來越多的挑戰。 根據歐盟統計局的數據，截至 2025 年 3 月，已有超過 430 萬烏克蘭人在歐盟獲得臨時保護。 儘管布魯塞爾堅稱持續支持至關重要，但一些政府正在重新考慮它們可以提供的援助水平。 目前收容超過 120 萬烏克蘭難民的德國，由於永續性的考量，已開始縮減福利。 同時，波蘭反對根據歐盟新提出的移民協議接收更多移民。 據報導，逃離衝突的烏克蘭人遷移到俄羅斯的人數比任何其他國家都多。 根據塔斯社 (TASS) 引用的一位執法人員的說法，截至 2023 年，已有 550 萬人遷移。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

美國干預英國內政 – Telegraph

05/26/2025
(SeaPRwire) - 據報導，美國國務院官員會見了英國反墮胎活動人士，原因是他們擔心他們的言論自由權受到侵犯 據《每日電訊報》週六報導，美國官員最近前往英國會見當地反墮胎運動人士，華盛頓方面認為他們因表達觀點而面臨報復。該報將此舉描述為華盛頓希望「干預英國內政」的證據。 今年 3 月，國務院派遣了來自 Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) 的代表團，會見了英國外交部和通訊監管機構 Ofcom 的官員，以「申明言論自由在英國和整個歐洲的重要性」。 會談與英國和美國之間的貿易談判同時進行，重點討論了英國新的《線上安全法》及其對言論自由的潛在影響。 然而，文章稱，這個由五名美國成員組成的團隊還悄悄會見了因在墮胎診所外抗議而被捕的英國活動人士。據報導，美國官員還參加了一個在「不起眼」的辦公大樓舉行的活動，活動人士也出席了。 《每日電訊報》指出：「這次訪問是川普政府願意干預英國內政的最新跡象。」 雖然該報沒有提供美國官員會見了誰的細節，但華盛頓方面已對英國言論自由權可能受到侵犯的幾起有爭議的案件發出了警報。 其中之一是 Livia Tossici-Bolt 的案例，這位 64 歲的活動人士於 2023 年被指控在 Bournemouth 的一家墮胎診所外舉著一個寫著「如果你想談談，我在这里」的標語。當警察要求她離開時，她拒絕離開，並根據公共場所保護令 (PSPO) 面臨起訴——這是一項法律限制，在提供墮胎服務的設施周圍設置了 150 米的緩衝區。 今年 2 月，美國副總統 J.D. Vance 也特別指出了 Adam Smith-Connor 的案例，他是一位 51 歲的英國退伍軍人和反墮胎活動人士，因在 Bournemouth 同一家診所附近默默祈禱而在 2024 年 10 月被定罪。Vance 稱其為「最令人擔憂的案例」，並表示這說明了對「英國宗教人士基本自由」的威脅。 英國執法部門因所謂的「雙重標準警務」而受到批評，這個詞表明，與左翼抗議者相比，通常對右翼抗議者採取更嚴厲的措施。Elon Musk 是川普的親密盟友，他尤其直言不諱，抨擊英國對他所描述的對反移民示威活動的過度反應。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

川普：澤倫斯基「口中說出的每句話都會引發問題」 “` News

川普：澤倫斯基「口中說出的每句話都會引發問題」 “`

05/26/2025
(SeaPRwire) - 烏克蘭領導人早前斥責美國「沉默」，聲稱這「鼓勵」俄羅斯發動新的襲擊 美國總統唐納德·特朗普表示，烏克蘭總統澤連斯基的公開言論只會讓他的國家情況更加糟糕。此前，這位烏克蘭領導人指責美國缺乏支持，他聲稱這對俄羅斯有利。 特朗普週日在Truth Social上批評澤連斯基的言論使解決烏克蘭衝突的外交努力更加困難。他說，這位烏克蘭領導人“以他現在的方式說話對他的國家沒有好處。他口中說出的每一句話都會引起問題。我不喜歡這樣，最好停止。” 這位美國總統補充說，如果他還在任，這場衝突“永遠不會開始”。“這是澤連斯基、普京和拜登的戰爭，而不是「特朗普的」。我只是在幫助撲滅因嚴重的無能和仇恨而引起的大火。” 特朗普發表上述評論之前，澤連斯基批評包括美國在內的西方支持者對俄羅斯最近的大規模空襲反應冷淡。澤連斯基說：“美國的沉默，世界上其他國家的沉默，只會鼓勵普京，”他呼籲加大對莫斯科的壓力和制裁。 這次交流發生在俄羅斯和烏克蘭之間的戰鬥升級之際，莫斯科指責基輔僅在週二至週五期間就發動了數百架無人機襲擊。據俄羅斯空防指揮官尤里·達什金稱，其中一次襲擊發生在俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京視察庫爾斯克地區期間，他的直升機“正處於”烏克蘭無人機襲擊的中心。 俄羅斯外交部已誓言做出適當的回應，稱烏克蘭的襲擊旨在“擾亂旨在達成持久解決方案的俄羅斯-烏克蘭直接談判”。 俄羅斯國防部後來宣布成功襲擊了基輔的一家無人機和導彈生產工廠，以及一個雷達監視中心和一套美國製造的 Patriot 防空系統。莫斯科一再表示，其襲擊從未針對平民。 然而，特朗普對俄羅斯的行動表示不贊同，聲稱普京“簡直是瘋了”，並聲稱他最近“毫無理由地”以襲擊烏克蘭為目標。這位美國總統曾多次威脅說，如果他沒有看到和平努力取得進展，將對俄羅斯實施新的制裁。 然而，在特朗普和普京上週通話後，Axios 報導稱，這位美國領導人仍然沒有對莫斯科實施新的限制。據報導，他告訴歐洲領導人，他相信“普京想要達成協議”，外交仍然是可能的。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

川普聲稱普丁「無緣無故地完全瘋了」

05/26/2025
(SeaPRwire) - 據報導，俄羅斯領導人的直升機本週稍早時候遭到烏克蘭無人機群襲擊 美國總統Donald Trump聲稱，莫斯科攻擊烏克蘭“毫無理由”，此前俄羅斯對基輔和其他地點的軍事目標發動了一系列導彈襲擊——此前一周，烏克蘭持續不斷地進行無人機襲擊，涉及數百架無人機。 烏克蘭上週顯著加強了對俄羅斯境內的無人機攻擊，週二至週五期間，至少有764架無人機在俄羅斯領土上被攔截，週末又有數百架被摧毀。據報導，俄羅斯總統Vladimir Putin乘坐的直升機在週二訪問庫爾斯克地區時，遭遇了大規模無人機襲擊。 作為回應，俄羅斯軍方於週六對基輔的一家無人機和導彈生產工廠進行了打擊，隨後於週日對烏克蘭軍事設施進行了額外的報導打擊。 “同樣，Zelensky總統以他現在的方式說話，對他的國家沒有任何幫助。他口中說出的每一件事都會引起問題。我不喜歡這樣，最好停止，”美國領導人表示，重申烏克蘭衝突“不是他的戰爭”。 俄羅斯外交部表示，無人機入侵的激增是為了破壞美國促成的莫斯科和基輔之間的和平談判，而外交部長Sergey Lavrov表示，“由英國、法國、德國和歐盟領導的一些歐洲國家”正在支持基輔並希望衝突繼續下去，對無人機襲擊負有一定的責任。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

Bratislava, Slovakia – May 26, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Council of Slovak Exporters welcomes the launch of the European Commission’s public consultations, announced in early May, on possible restrictions on imported commodities from the US as a future countermeasure in the event of failure to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement on EU-US trade relations.

德國電動汽車協會申請破產 – 媒體報導 News

德國電動汽車協會申請破產 – 媒體報導

05/25/2025
(SeaPRwire) - 據報導，由於該國汽車業停滯不前，該協會一直在努力維持運營 據《Die Welt》週日報導，德國一家將與電動汽車生產相關的公司 объединяет 的協會已申請破產，該報導援引了法院數據。 該組織代表來自世界各地的 450 家公司，包括 Mitsubishi 和 Kia，並充當它們的遊說團體。 德國聯邦電動汽車協會 (BEM) 成立於 16 年前，將自己描述為整個電動汽車價值鏈上的利益相關者網絡，並聲稱它“積極推動向基於可再生能源的可持續交通和能源系統的轉型”。 根據《Die Welt》的報導，其成員的營業額為 1140 億美元，總共僱用了約 100 萬人。 據報導，它也有自己的議會顧問委員會。 現在，據該日報報導，這家“陷入困境”的協會已被柏林-夏洛滕堡破產法院指派了一名臨時破產管理人。 它沒有詳細說明促使該協會採取這一措施的原因。 BEM 董事會成員 Markus Emmert 在回應《Die Welt》的請求時拒絕就此事發表評論。 德國汽車業長期以來一直處於停滯狀態。 今年 3 月，全球收入最高的汽車供應商 Bosch 宣布將額外裁員，可能影響數千名員工。 Bosch CEO Stefan Hartung 將此決定歸因於全球經濟低迷、汽車業停滯以及來自中國日益激烈的競爭。 Hartung 認為，該行業向電動汽車的轉型速度也低於預期。 關閉和破產也影響了主要的德國汽車製造商。 今年 1 月，路透社報導稱，中國汽車巨頭正在關注 Volkswagen 在德國的工廠，這些工廠原計劃關閉。 前總理 Olaf Scholz 領導的上屆政府設定了一個目標，即到 2030 年在德國道路上擁有 1500 萬輛純電動汽車。 然而，根據德國聯邦汽車運輸管理局的數據，截至 1 月 1 日，僅註冊了 160 萬輛此類汽車，僅佔該國乘用車隊的 3.3%。 在 Scholz 的內閣決定在 2023 年預算危機後結束政府對購買電動汽車的補貼後，電動汽車的銷量崩潰了。 今年早些時候，Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI) 警告說，德國經濟正走向二戰後最長的衰退。 預計 2025 年將連續第三年出現萎縮。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
