BUV partners with Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange to support Asian talent mobility

HANOI, Vietnam, Dec. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — British University Vietnam (BUV) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE), under China’s Ministry of Education, aimed at strengthening cooperation in education and academic exchange between Vietnam and China.

The agreement was signed by Professor Rick Bennett, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of BUV, and Xia Jianhui, Deputy Director of CSCSE. The signing ceremony was attended by representatives from Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training, CSCSE, and BUV.

Expanding cross-border education cooperation

The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration focused on international talent mobility, study-abroad support, and academic exchange within Asia. Under the agreement, the two institutions will work together to support students from China and other Asian countries through preparatory programs designed to strengthen academic readiness, language proficiency, and cultural understanding prior to enrollment in degree programs at BUV.

The partnership also provides opportunities for students to access innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives, including China-based platforms and academic competitions. In addition, BUV students may participate in “Study in China” programs and short-term exchanges. The agreement also seeks to facilitate degree recognition and verification to support academic and professional mobility across borders.

As part of the cooperation, CSCSE will expand its outreach activities in Asia, with BUV supporting the promotion of “Study in China” initiatives and hosting education-related events in Vietnam.

According to Xia Jianhui, Vietnam is becoming an increasingly relevant destination for Chinese students seeking internationally oriented education within the region. He said the partnership with BUV is intended to provide students with additional study pathways while supporting bilateral educational cooperation.

Professor Rick Bennett said the agreement reflects BUV’s intention to expand regional academic partnerships. He noted that combining CSCSE’s study-abroad services network with BUV’s British-accredited programs could broaden access to international education opportunities for students across Asia.

Quality assurance and degree recognition

CSCSE, which operates under China’s Ministry of Education, supports international academic exchange, overseas study services, and qualification verification for Chinese students.

BUV has previously been recognized by China’s Ministry of Education as an accredited foreign university and is listed on CSCSE’s official platform. As a result, degrees awarded by BUV are formally recognized by Chinese authorities. This enables BUV graduates seeking further study or employment in China to verify their qualifications through CSCSE.

BUV stated that this recognition aligns with its Triple Quality Assurance framework, which benchmarks institutional quality at local, national, and international levels. The university is accredited by Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training and has received institutional accreditation from the U.K.’s Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). BUV also maintains a QS 5-Star rating across multiple categories.

Regional education pathways

Recent changes in major study-abroad destinations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, including higher tuition fees and stricter visa requirements, have prompted some students to consider alternative education pathways within Asia. Transnational education models, such as British-accredited programs delivered in Vietnam, offer regional options with international recognition.

BUV was established in 2009 as a foreign-invested university and partners with U.K. institutions to deliver British degree programs. These include University of London programs with academic direction from the London School of Economics and Political Science. In 2025, BUV was designated an International Partner of the University of London.

According to publicly available estimates, the cost of completing a three-year University of London degree in the U.K. can exceed US$170,000, including tuition and living expenses. BUV said the same qualification completed in Vietnam typically involves lower overall costs, partly due to reduced tuition and living expenses.

Yinglu Guo, a student from Shenzhen currently studying at BUV, said the program offered an opportunity to pursue a British degree while remaining closer to home.

BUV has also received international recognition related to student experience and admissions processes. The university is located within the Ecopark township near Hanoi and operates a campus with sustainability certification, on-campus services, and student support facilities.

BUV said it will continue to expand partnerships with international institutions and invest in academic programs and infrastructure as part of its long-term development strategy.

Senhwa Biosciences Aims at Multi-Billion Dollar Global Market with CX-5461 Combined with ADC “Blockbuster” Therapy

TAIPEI and SAN DIEGO, Dec. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following its recent clinical collaboration with the multinational pharmaceutical company BeOne Medicines to explore combination therapy with its marketed PD-1 inhibitor in the challenging field of cold tumor treatment, Senhwa Biosciences, Inc. (TPEx: 6492, hereafter “Senhwa”), today announced another major milestone. The Company’s first-in-class investigational drug Pidnarulex (CX-5461) will be evaluated in combination with the globally recognized antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (Enhertu®), in a Phase 1b clinical trial. The study is designed for HER2-positive solid tumors and breast cancer patients, including those with HER2-low expression and metastatic breast cancer. Supported by the U.S. National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) NExT program, which funds multiple CX-5461 studies including combination strategies, Senhwa is positioning itself at the forefront of one of the most promising areas in oncology therapeutics, and this milestone marks CX-5461’s entry into the fast-growing ADC market.

World’s First G4 Stabilizer Meets Leading ADC

CX-5461 is the world’s first and most advanced G-quadruplex (G4) stabilizer in development. It has shown promising activity in early-phase trials for breast cancer and other solid tumors in study sponsored by SU2C-CCTG in Canada. Its combination with Enhertu® is expected to enhance treatment efficacy in HER2-low patients and offer new therapeutic possibilities.

Enhertu®, co-developed by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo, is the first HER2-directed ADC approved for HER2-low and HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer. This innovative drug uses a monoclonal antibody to precisely target tumor cells and deliver the chemotherapy payload Deruxtecan directly into the tumor, enabling highly effective cancer cell killing while minimizing harm to healthy cells.

Entering a High-Growth Market

The global ADC market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 28.4%, reaching approximately USD 47 billion by 2029. Analysts believe that Senhwa’s clinical development strategy combining CX-5461 and Enhertu® positions the company to directly tap into this high-growth and highly competitive oncology market.

Differentiated Advantage and Strategic Collaboration Potential

Although existing HER2-targeted therapies have transformed the treatment landscape for breast and gastric cancers, their efficacy in HER2-low solid tumors remains limited. Experts suggest that if CX-5461’s novel mechanism of action, when combined with ADC’s precise delivery platform, proves effective, it could break through current treatment barriers, expand indications to additional tumor types, and establish a clear competitive edge.

With global pharmaceutical companies racing into the ADC space, collaborations and licensing agreements have become mainstream. Should Senhwa’s combination therapy demonstrate strong clinical efficacy, it could attract strategic partnerships with major international pharma players, bringing in substantial licensing revenues and long-term collaboration opportunities.

Driving Long-Term Value Creation

Analysts further note that the successful advancement of this trial would significantly enhance Senhwa’s international visibility in oncology, elevate the company’s market valuation, and deliver sustainable long-term returns for investors and shareholders.

HER2 has been validated as a critical oncogenic driver across multiple tumor types. By leveraging the innovative combination of CX-5461 and Enhertu®, Senhwa aims to pioneer breakthrough therapies, capture a substantial share of the rapidly growing ADC market, and build a diverse oncology treatment platform. The company reiterated its commitment to strengthening its R&D pipeline, integrating next-generation ADC technologies with its proprietary drug candidates, and advancing toward its vision of becoming a leading Asia-based oncology innovator with a global footprint.

In recent years, Chongqing has implemented the “Intelligent Integration for Inclusive and Efficient Finance” initiative to strengthen financial support for economic development, while Liangjiang New Area has drawn on the concentration of financial institutions and professionals in Jiangbeizui to support the establishment of the core functional zone of the Western Financial Center. As a result, Jiangbeizui’s financial sector has steadily grown in overall strength and regional influence, with a notable increase in its ability to serve the real economy.

At the conference, Liangjiang New Area unveiled its private equity fund cluster. Since the beginning of the year, the area has introduced 12 private equity funds focused on advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, aerospace and space-based information technologies, and technology commercialization, with a total committed capital exceeding RMB 10 billion.

A New Year’s Passage Through Shaanxi, Where History and Daily Life Converge

XI’AN, China, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This article is distributed by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism. As 2026 approaches and year-end reflection sets in, travelers seeking a New Year’s destination made easier to reach under China’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy will find an inviting proposition in Shaanxi.

This is a place where the past feels tangible and flavors feel enduring, with traditions coming alive with unusual intimacy during the New Year season.

For a journey centered on culture, start at Baoji’s Famen Temple. History here is not preserved behind glass; it persists through living ritual, architecture, and a sense of quiet continuity. At midnight on New Year’s Eve, the temple bell is rung 108 times, marking a centuries-old rite that symbolizes the release of the old year and the welcome of the new.

Naturally, any trip to Shaanxi is also defined by its deeply rooted culinary heritage.

In Tongchuan, flavors are straightforward, hearty and deeply satisfying. Yaozhou noodles, hand-crafted to a unique honeycomb texture, offer a pleasing chew, served either with a savory meat sauce or a clear, flavorful broth. Hand-sliced noodles, with their signature spicy and tingling profile, are smooth and resilient — the sort of dish that lingers in memory and invites return. Near Yaowang Mountain, Sun Simiao medicinal cuisine, prepared with local herbs, focuses on wholesome nourishment rather than complexity, delivering a plainspoken, restorative sense of sustenance.

During the Lunar New Year period, the old streets of Yulin pulse with energy and sound. The air carries melodies of Northern Shaanxi folk songs, the spirited movements of yangko dances, and a rolling sequence of local Yulin ditties. These are not staged shows but unrehearsed celebrations spilling into the lanes and alleys, carrying the vigorous spirit of the Loess Plateau — lively, genuine and marked by an easy warmth.

Then, there is Xi’an.

This time, look beyond the city walls and the Terracotta Army. Enter Huaqing Palace and settle into the misty embrace of its historic hot springs. These same waters that once cradled the legendary Yang Guifei now offer warmth, collapsing imperial history into an intimate, bodily experience.

Travelers can rush through crowded cities, or they can choose to slow down in Shaanxi — greeting dawn at an ancient temple, savoring midday street food, and listening to folk songs as evening falls. Here, history is no longer remote; it appears unannounced and stays with you in ways that feel personal rather than performative.

With visa-free entry making the region easier to reach, the journey to Shaanxi begins now. Each city tells its own story, threading the joy and warmth of the New Year through the layered texture of its past.

February Regional Events Fuel Search Growth

A notable trend revealed in the search data is the strong influence of February seasonal events in boosting interest in regional destinations.

  • Fukuoka: Miyajidake Shrine “Path of Light” (February) – A mystical sunset phenomenon visible only twice a year, the “Path of Light” has become popular on social media, contributing to increased February travel searches.
  • Sapporo: Sapporo Snow Festival (Early February) – Japan’s largest winter event, attracting visitors from Japan and abroad. With its ice sculptures, illuminated displays, and food festivals, Sapporo remains a leading city for winter travel demand.
  • Okinawa Main Island: Cherry Blossom Festival (Early February) – Okinawa is the first place in Japan where cherry blossoms bloom each year. The island’s warm climate combined with early-blooming sakura maintains its steady popularity as a winter getaway.

Overall, the data clearly indicates that seasonal events concentrated in February are a major driver of domestic winter travel demand.

Tadashi Ikai, Senior Country Director, Agoda International Japan, shared: “Agoda’s latest search data shows that, in addition to major metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and Osaka, regional cities hosting rich seasonal events in February are also receiving a high volume of searches. Experiences unique to winter – such as Fukuoka’s ‘Path of Light,‘ Sapporo’s ‘Sapporo Snow Festival,‘ and Okinawa Main Island’s ‘Cherry Blossom Festival‘, are capturing travelers’ interest and strongly driving demand for winter travel.

Tanoto Foundation Convened Global and National Leaders to Strengthen the Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) Ecosystem at the 2025 International Symposium on ECED

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 December 2025 – Tanoto Foundation convened government leaders, international organisations, researchers, and civil society at the 2025 International Symposium on Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED), in Jakarta under the theme “ECED Ecosystem Synergy in Promoting the Best Start in Life.”

The symposium comes at a critical moment, as shared challenges across health, nutrition, education, and caregiving continue to shape early childhood development outcomes in Indonesia and globally, where many young children continue to face barriers to healthy development, from gaps in nutrition and care to limited access to quality early learning.

These challenges highlight the need for closer coordination across health, education, parenting, and social protection to ensure children receive holistic and equitable support from the earliest years.

Without strong cross-sector collaboration, Indonesia risks losing momentum in building its human capital and realising its demographic dividend towards Indonesia Emas 2045.

In partnership with key government ministries and cross-sector organisations, Tanoto Foundation convened the symposium as a platform to align policy, practice, and evidence across sectors, bringing together representatives from central and local government, international organisations, academia, civil society, and philanthropy.

The symposium featured two main discussion tracks focused on health and education, and parenting in early childhood.

The morning segment, “Synergising Health and Education for ECED”, focused on integrating health, nutrition, and early learning services, highlighting innovations in growth and development monitoring, nutrition interventions, and early stimulation within primary service systems.

The afternoon session, “Parenting and Early Learning”, placed families and caregivers at the centre of the ECED ecosystem, exploring responsive caregiving, interaction-based learning, and policy support to strengthen parents’ capacity to nurture children’s development.

Indonesian Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin officially opened the symposium, emphasising the decisive importance of early childhood for national development.

“The age of 0 to 5 years is a highly decisive phase in determining whether a person will grow into a healthy, intelligent adult who can contribute to the nation, including to increase per capita income,” the Minister said.

“If we do not act quickly, we risk missing Indonesia’s demographic dividend. This is our responsibility to our children.”

The Government of Indonesia has reaffirmed early childhood development as a national priority through the Long-Term National Development Plan 2025 to 2045 and the Medium-Term National Development Plan 2025 to 2029, with Holistic and Integrated Early Childhood Development (PAUD-HI) designated as a key performance indicator.

Opening the afternoon session, Indonesian Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, Arifatul Choiri Fauzi, highlighted the symposium’s contribution to policy strengthening.

“This forum brings together strategic cross sector perspectives. We encourage the resulting recommendations to be used to strengthen policies, regulations, and service innovations for early childhood development,” she said.

Indonesian Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Prof. Stella Christie, underscored the importance of science-based parenting and high-quality interaction.

“Caregiving with optimal interaction between children and caregivers has the greatest potential to maximise child development,” she said. “No technology, including artificial intelligence, can replace the power of human interaction.”

She added that children learn through curiosity, imitation, and everyday experiences, making responsive and evidence-based parenting critical for brain development and lifelong learning.

CEO of Tanoto Foundation Benny Lee reaffirmed the Foundation’s long-term commitment to early childhood development as a cornerstone of human potential.

“The early years are when the foundations of brain development, health, and character are formed,” Benny said.

“This is not the work of one institution. It requires a truly supportive ecosystem built through collaboration among government, civil society, academia, and philanthropy.”

He emphasised that Tanoto Foundation, founded by Sukanto Tanoto, Founder and Chairman of Royal Golden Eagle (RGE), views early childhood development as a primary investment, where collective action can deliver lasting and sustainable impact. “This symposium is about ensuring that every child receives the strongest possible start in life, every parent receives the support they need, and every sector moves forward together,” he said.

The symposium brought together up to 200 participants, with speakers from government, development organisations, academia, research institutions, and philanthropy.
