Prime Minister of Viet Nam Pham Minh Chinh’s visits to three Middle Eastern countries have yielded substantial outcomes, especially in cooperation and boosting agricultural trade.
HA NOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 November 2024 – During Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s visits, Viet Nam and the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have reached significant economic, trade and investment cooperation agreements.
These agreements represent a breakthrough in the pillars of cooperation on food, Halal and emerging fields, including the digital economy, green economy and circular economy.
In particular, Viet Nam and the UAE signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), with the UAE committing to a gradual tariff reduction on 99 per cent of Vietnamese exports. In return, Viet Nam Nam will gradually remove tariffs on 98.5 per cent of UAE exports.
Once effective, the CEPA will create enhanced export opportunities for Vietnamese agricultural products.
In Saudi Arabia, Viet Nam’s key agricultural exports saw strong growth in the first nine months of 2024. Fruit and vegetable exports reached US$10.9 million, marking a 51.4 per cent increase, while rice exports hit $22.7 million, up by 43.7 per cent, and pepper exports totalled $12.5 million, a 34 per cent increase.
To further expand exports, Viet Nam has requested Saudi Arabia provide market insights, share policies on Halal certification and lift the temporary ban on Vietnamese aquaculture products.
In response, Saudi Arabia plans to send a technical team to Viet Nam to assess the actual food safety control system for the aquaculture production chain soon, to have a basis to lift the entire temporary import suspension.
The Middle Eastern market also has substantial demand for Halal-certified products, especially in agriculture.
Halal-certified products require strict standards, including not using prohibited substances prescribed by Islam in the production process and ensuring that the animals are treated humanely.
Viet Nam currently has around 1,000 businesses certified for Halal, providing a strong basis for deeper engagement in the Halal market and contributing to regional food security.
The Middle East is a vast market with substantial room for growth in economic, trade and investment cooperation in the agricultural sector. This region encompasses 15 countries covering over 6 million square kilometres, with a population nearing 350 million and a GDP in purchasing power parity (PPP) exceeding $6 trillion.
In recent years, Middle Eastern nations have prioritised Viet Nam within their “Look East” policies. This foundation positions the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other regional countries alongside Viet Nam to deepen cooperation, harness each other’s strengths, enhance connectivity and support mutual development.

Toto Iskander; General Secretary for International Affairs Mr David Wu
The agreement was signed today during a ceremony that also involved CCPIT (China Chamber for Promotion of International Trade) and Farm Fresh Industries Brunei, which have pledged to support the program by donating and constructing up to 5,000 central kitchens and equipment to facilitate meal distribution. This joint initiative will swiftly benefit the national economy by boosting farmers’ incomes and Indonesia’s agricultural, economic, and technological advancements through a partnership between the private sector, government, and INDUK KUD.
Meeting the National Meal Program’s Critical Demand
The National Meal Program is a key initiative by the Indonesian government to battle malnutrition and improve access to quality meals for children in underserved regions. The program aims to provide nutritious and balanced lunches for over 80 million students and pregnant mothers, particularly in rural and low-income areas.
“The National Meal Program is critical to the future of the country’s youth, as it provides not just food, but the essential nutrition that helps students thrive in their education and overall well-being,” said Mr. NG TSE MENG, Honorary Chairman ofRuifeng Wealth Management. “By partnering with INDUK KUD, we can directly address the massive demand of affordable cooking oil, which is a vital component of the meals provided under the program.” Ruifeng Wealth Management, a multi-family office and fund management company based in Singapore, is a front runner in wealth management and sustainable investing, emphasizing ESG principles and responsible investment practices.
Empowering Local Communities through Sustainability
The new palm oil mills and refineries will not only ensure an adequate supply of cooking oil for the National Meal Program, but also promote sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The facilities will be powered by solar and renewable energy technology, reducing the carbon footprint and contributing to Indonesia’s ongoing push towards sustainable development.
Additionally, the project will uplift local communities by creating new job opportunities, enhancing agricultural infrastructure, and empowering smallholder farmers within the INDUK KUD cooperative network. “This partnership not only strengthens our national food security for the youth but also ensures that we are contributing to the sustainable development of local economies,” said Mr Portasius Nggedi, President of INDUK KUD. “We are focused on improving the livelihoods of our children and communities while helping to fulfil Indonesia’s growing demand for essential food products.”
Long-Term Social Impact
The ultimate goal of the project is to foster long-term, positive social impact by improving nutrition and food security, especially for the nation’s most vulnerable population: its children. The project is seen as a crucial step in expanding Indonesia’s agricultural capabilities, fostering a resilient food supply chain, and ensuring that technological advancements in the sector are accessible to all Indonesians.
“We are incredibly proud to be part of this transformative effort,” said Chairman of Ruifeng Wealth Management. “This initiative will not only help provide meals for millions of children, but will also contribute to the expansion of Indonesia’s agriculture and technology sectors. It’s a comprehensive solution that brings together sustainability, technology, and social good.”
Looking Forward
The construction of the palm oil mills and refineries is targeted to begin in early 2025, with the first facilities expected to come online by 2026. Once operational, the new facilities will produce cooking oil that will fully and directly distributed to the National Meal Program, as well as meet growing market demand across Indonesia. As part of the partnership, solar-powered and renewable energy solutions will be integrated into the mills to ensure environmental sustainability.
The partnership of INDUK KUD with Ruifeng Wealth Management, CPIIT, and Farm Fresh Industries represents a landmark collaboration in Indonesia’s agricultural, food, and energy sectors, and marks a pivotal step toward creating a more sustainable and food-secure future for the nation.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 November 2024 – Since its inception more than three decades ago, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has become a dynamic engine of economic growth and one of Asia Pacific’s most important regional forums. Its 21 member economies represent approximately 62 percent of the world GDP and nearly half of world trade.
As the 2024 APEC gathering will commence soon in Peru, Chinese President Xi Jinping, at the invitation of Peruvian President Dina Ercilia Boluarte Zegarra, will attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Lima and pay a state visit to Peru from November 13 to 17.
China has been actively involved in APEC cooperation in various fields. According to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, China’s foreign trade with other APEC economies amounted to $3.74 trillion in 2022, representing 59.7 percent of the country’s total import and export value.
“President Xi attending the meeting is an important head-of-state diplomatic event carried out by China towards the Asia-Pacific, which demonstrates the great importance China attaches to Asia-Pacific economic cooperation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday, at a regular press conference.

Closer APEC cooperation
Among China’s top 10 trading partners, eight of them are APEC economies. China is the largest trading partner of 13 APEC economies. A total of 15 APEC economies have signed free trade agreements with China.
For decades, China, as a firm supporter and active promoter of Asia-Pacific economic cooperation, has promoted the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement to come into force and advanced high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
In 2023, China’s total imports and exports to the other 14 RCEP members reached 12.6 trillion yuan (about $1.8 trillion), an increase of 5.3 percent compared with 2021 before the RCEP came into effect, according to the Chinese Commerce Ministry.

Scheduled to be inaugurated in November, the Chancay Port, an important infrastructure project in Latin America under the BRI, will transform Peru into a major trade hub in the region, and is expected to produce a broad economic impact, helping open new trade routes and enhance the competitiveness of Latin America as a whole.
“China is ready to work with all parties to inject new impetus into pushing regional economic integration and advancing economic growth in the Asia-Pacific and the world, and work together to build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future,” Mao said.

Building Asia-Pacific community
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the proposal of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, which consists of 10 principles, including building a community of shared future for mankind to safeguard world peace and promote common development, pursuing peaceful development on the basis of mutual respect and win-win cooperation, and steering reform of the global governance system.
Responding to urgent global needs, Xi has also put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative to call on all parties to work together to address global challenges and promote global common development.
Calling for building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future, Xi has called on all parties to cultivate, nurture, and foster the blossoming flower of common development of the Asia-Pacific.
Over the past 30 years, the Asia-Pacific has cut its average tariff rate from 17 percent to 5 percent and contributed 70 percent of global economic growth. Per capita income in the region has more than quadrupled, and one billion people have been lifted out of poverty, an important contribution to human progress and global sustainable development.
At the forthcoming APEC meeting, President Xi will elaborate on China’s policies and proposals on promoting Asia-Pacific cooperation, and work with all parties to promote comprehensive and balanced implementation of the Putrajaya Vision 2040, said Mao.

BARCELONA, SPAIN – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 November 2024 – On November 6, Central European Time, at the 2024 Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) held in Barcelona, Shenzhen stood out from 429 candidate cities from 64 countries and regions to win the World Smart City Award, demonstrating China’s extraordinary strength and potential in building smart cities.
Centered on the theme of “building a new smart city benchmark, making city smarter and life better”, the “comprehensive solution for building a smart city” by Shenzhen integrates the city’s people-oriented concept of smart city construction, and provides several highlight cases. The jury committee believes that Shenzhen has comprehensively demonstrated its innovative solutions in key areas such as enabling technology, transportation, energy and environment, governance, industry and economy, livability and inclusiveness, infrastructure and construction, and created an intelligent and humanistic digitalized city by its unique urban philosophy, foundation and landscape.
With respect to urban governance, Shenzhen has preliminarily built up the digital twin base for the city area, which combines nearly 10,000 BIM refined models of major buildings, forms the digital twin data system covering three primary categories (urban basic space, management targets and IoT perception) and 25 subdivisions, and offers 4,000+ data services. The city has created 200+ digital twin application scenarios including one graph for urban water management, one graph for power charge, storage and discharge, planning and design of the 5th-phase rail transit, and promoted the application of digital twins in urban areas like Houhai, Xiangmihu and Guangming Science City. For example, by creating applications for urban flood prevention and relying upon the graph for urban water management, flood disaster risk model and contingency plans for different working conditions, Shenzhen utilizes 3D models to carry out simulation of flood in key districts and analysis of affected areas, reinforce the accuracy of identifying water-logging risks and explore new paths of addressing the issue. The Xiangmihu digital twin comprehensive application depends on high rendering capability to visually present complex surface and underground space planning, assists in digital decisions such as city silhouette review, urban landscape design, and advances the establishment of a lifecycle digital twin management model of key districts including planning, design, construction and operation.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 November 2024 – Singapore is strengthening its position as a global hub for supply chain management (SCM), providing international businesses with a reliable and efficient base to manage their regional and global supply chains. With top-notch infrastructure, a skilled talent pool, and forward-looking policies, Singapore invites businesses worldwide to establish or expand their operations in the city-state.
From 3 October 2024 to 4 October 2024, the inaugural Singapore Supply Chain Connect 2024 brought together around 400 senior supply chain and business leaders to discuss the ongoing shifts in global supply chains. Organised by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), in collaboration with key industry and government partners, this landmark event highlighted Singapore’s growing role in global supply chain management.
Industry leaders shared best practices on how companies are leveraging Southeast Asia (SEA) and Singapore to drive growth and diversify their supply chains within the region. The discussions emphasised Singapore’s strategic role in helping businesses build resilience and capitalise on new opportunities in the evolving global landscape.
A Strong Talent Pool and Cutting-Edge Innovation
Singapore’s SCM hubs draw on a robust talent pool of over 70,000 supply chain professionals, supported by 3,600 annual graduates with the necessary skills to drive innovation and efficiency. In addition to its talent advantage, Singapore provides businesses access to a thriving innovation ecosystem backed by government initiatives such as the Economic Development Board’s (EDB) support schemes. Companies can leverage these resources to establish innovation teams or Centres of Excellence (COEs) to adopt advanced technologies for digital and sustainable supply chains.
A Logistics Powerhouse with World-Class Connectivity
Singapore’s top ranking in the World Bank’s 2023 Logistics Performance Index reinforces its role as a global logistics management hub. The country’s customs dwell time of under 10 minutes highlights its operational efficiency, making it a trusted hub for companies seeking to streamline their supply chain operations.
The logistics industry in Singapore is further bolstered by the presence of 22 of the top 25 globally leading third-party logistics providers (3PLs), many of whom are setting up Best-In-Class Regional Distribution Centres (BIC RDCs). Companies such as DB Schenker, DSV, and Maersk are investing in cutting-edge facilities in Singapore, with new regional distribution centres expected to be operational by 2025.
Long-Term Investments in Connectivity and Infrastructure
Singapore’s commitment to enhancing its connectivity is evident in its ongoing investments in air and sea logistics infrastructure, which have established the nation as a trusted air and sea connectivity hub.
The Changi Air Cargo Hub is expanding its capacity from 3 million to 5.4 million tonnes annually, supported by the remodelled Changi Airfreight Centre, the Changi East Industrial Zone, and the Airport Logistics Park Singapore (ALPS). ALPS, operational since 2003, provides third-party logistics (3PL) services, enabling seamless regional air cargo flows. To further augment capacity, a second Airport Logistics Park (ALPS2) will launch from the 2030s, offering new space for logistics companies and serving as a Free Trade Zone.
On the maritime side, Singapore remains the world’s busiest container transshipment hub, handling 39.01 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2023. The upcoming Tuas Mega Port, set to be the world’s largest fully automated port by the 2040s, will have a capacity of 65 million TEUs annually. This advanced port infrastructure will reduce vessel turnaround times and cement Singapore’s position as a key global maritime hub. Hashtag: #EDB #SingaporeEconomicDevelopmentBoard #Singapore
