BANGKOK, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a groundbreaking medical milestone, veterinarians from Chulalongkorn University‘s Faculty of Veterinary Science have successfully performed Thailand’s first pacemaker implantation in a cat, marking a new era in advanced veterinary cardiology. The procedure, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anusak Kijtawornrat from the Department of Physiology, demonstrates Thailand’s growing capacity in high-precision animal healthcare.
Chula Veterinarians Perform Thailand’s First Pacemaker Implant in a Cat
The patient, Pepsi, an eight-year-old domestic shorthair cat, had suffered frequent fainting spells—up to four times daily—caused by severe cardiac arrhythmia. After receiving the pacemaker, she made a full recovery and has since regained her normal strength, appetite, and playful personality.
Dr. Anusak explained that Pepsi‘s condition stemmed from a blockage of electrical signals between the heart’s chambers, preventing blood from reaching the brain. Such arrhythmias are rare in cats, representing about 0.03% of feline cardiac cases and often occurring in older animals. The diagnosis was confirmed through 24-hour Holter monitoring, a more accurate tool than standard ECG testing.
Because of the cat’s small anatomy, the surgery required extraordinary precision. Unlike dogs, where pacemaker leads can be inserted through a vein, cats have thinner heart walls—just two millimeters thick—making that method risky. The surgical team instead opened the chest cavity to attach the pacing lead directly to the heart’s surface and connected it to a small generator implanted under the abdominal muscles. The one-hour operation involved a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, surgeons, and anesthesiologists working in tandem.
The pacemaker, identical to human models but customized for feline use, costs around 59,000 baht in total, though Pepsi‘s device was a donated and sterilized unit. Post-surgery, she now visits the hospital every three months for follow-ups and continues to live a normal, active life.
Dr. Anusak emphasized that this success highlights Thailand’s readiness to perform complex procedures at global standards. He encouraged pet owners to seek prompt veterinary care if their animals show signs of fainting or weakness and urged young veterinarians to continue learning and innovating:
“What once seemed impossible in Thailand is now achievable through dedication, collaboration, and continuous advancement.”
Driving Bangkok’s Emergence as a World-Class City and Reinforcing CG Capital’s Leadership in Thailand’s Branded Residences Sector
A Vision of “World-Class Development for a World-Class City and Global Citizens”
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 November 2025 – CG Capital Advisory Limited (CG Capital), Thailand’s leading private equity fund from Central Group specializing in premium real estate and hospitality investment, has partnered with IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, to unveil InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke — a landmark THB 5.5 billion freehold hospitality-branded residence located in the heart of Sukhumvit.
CG Capital Partners with IHG Hotels & Resorts to Introduce InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke
This collaboration sets a new benchmark for luxury living in Thailand, reinforcing CG Capital’s vision of delivering “World-Class Development for a World-Class City and Global Citizens.” The project aligns with the growth momentum of Thailand’s high-end property market, projected to expand by 3.4% annually through 2029, while further cementing CG Capital’s pivotal role in shaping Bangkok into a true World-Class City.
Confidence in Bangkok’s Potential
Mr. Phoom Chirathivat, Managing Partner and Co-Head of CG Capital, shared:
“We have strong confidence in Bangkok’s continued rise as a global city—driven by investment, lifestyle, and quality of life. We are proud to partner with IHG on the launch of InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke, the first freehold hospitality-branded residences in Sukhumvit. This partnership perfectly embodies our strategic vision of creating World-Class Products for World-Class Citizens.
Valued at THB 5.5 billion, this project is expected to attract both Thai residents who favor the Sukhumvit area and international buyers from all over the world.”
He further added: “Following the success of The Standard Residences, Phuket Bang Tao, this is CG Capital’s second flagship project. We believe Bangkok and Phuket both hold immense potential for global buyers or residents seeking a second home in Asia. Compared to major cities such as New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore, Thailand still offers its world-class quality, service, and location. Through this collaboration, IHG’s hospitality excellence will be seamlessly translated into an elevated residential experience.”
A Prime Address with Long-Term Potential
Strategically located on Sukhumvit 16 in the vibrant Asoke district—Bangkok’s key business, lifestyle, and transport hub—the project sits amid one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Land prices in this area have reached nearly THB 3 million per sq.w, while Bangkok’s overall rental index recently rose by 9%, underscoring its exclusivity and appeal.
With only 88 exclusive freehold residences ranging from 139 to 547 sq.m., priced from THB 40.8 million, the project will host its VIP sales event on 16 November 2025. Thoughtfully crafted under the concept of “Timeless Design, Future Ready Comfort,” the development reflects the enduring sophistication of Sukhumvit’s heritage of elegance while embracing modern InterContinental refinement.
Residents will enjoy an array of five-star hotel-standard amenities, including a 25-meter saltwater swimming pool, fully equipped fitness center, yoga and pilates studio, hot & cold plunge pools, private lounge, co-working space, meeting room, game room, art studio, and residents’ lounge, complemented by 24-hour concierge services under the renowned InterContinental brand standards—delivering an exceptional living experience every day. The project is scheduled for completion in Q2 2029.
Global Hospitality Meets Modern Residential Living
Ms. Alexandra Yao, Vice President, Global Branded Residences, IHG Hotels & Resorts, stated:
“InterContinental is more than a luxury hotel brand—it represents 80 years of world-class hospitality, with over 230 hotels in 70 countries. Each property serves as a Gateway to the Extraordinary.
We are delighted to bring this legacy to Thailand’s residential market and introduce the first standalone InterContinental branded residences globally with InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke. Our partnership with CG Capital reflects our shared vision to offer Modern Luxury Living—seamlessly blending the comforts of home with the sophistication of hotel service.”
Market Outlook and Branded Residences Leadership
Ms. Artitaya Kasemlawan, Head of Residential Sales – Project at CBRE Thailand, added, “Asia Pacific (APAC) is emerging as a key hub for branded residences. When combining completed projects and those in the pipeline, the region accounts for a 23% market share—on par with North America. Thailand leads APAC in the number of branded residences and ranks among the world’s Top 10 cities with the highest concentration of such projects, with Phuket at No. 5 and Bangkok at No. 7. This aligns with CG Capital’s strategy, which positions Bangkok and Phuket as world-class cities attracting global residents thanks to their livability, cost of living, infrastructure, diversity and future potential as medical hubs.”
“In the first half of 2025, branded residences in Bangkok represent just 1% of the city’s prime residential supply, with only nine projects under 5-star hotel brands. Of these, just three offer freehold ownership, boasting an impressive 93% sales rate—a clear indicator of strong demand in the luxury segment. The market continues to grow, particularly for branded residences. InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke stands out as the first hotel-branded residence on Sukhumvit Road, strategically located near the Asoke-Sukhumvit intersection, connecting BTS Asok and MRT Sukhumvit stations. Surrounded by upscale amenities—luxury malls, fine dining, five-star hotels, Grade A office towers, and international schools—the project also offers easy access to Benjakitti Park, which links to Lumpini Park. Beyond its prime location, the development’s freehold status meets buyers’ needs for both personal use and long-term asset transfer. InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke enters the market at the perfect time, amid rapid growth in this segment,” Ms. Artitaya concluded.
A New Chapter for Thailand’s Branded Residences
The launch of InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke marks a milestone in positioning Thailand’s luxury residential market on the global stage. It sets a new benchmark for branded residences in Asia Pacific, reflecting the shared vision of CG Capital and IHG to redefine modern urban living and propel Bangkok’s transformation into a true World-Class City.

The Curator commented: “Each designer and brand featured demonstrates that creating does not merely mean producing, but generating value, respect, and regeneration at every stage of the process. This exhibition is a bridge between Italy and Hong Kong, between past and future, between who we are and who we can become”.
Through this international exchange of ideas, visitors are invited to experience a heightened, nature-rooted fashion. The exhibition stands as one of the flagship initiatives of Cittadellarte Fashion B.E.S.T., the platform created by the artist Michelangelo Pistoletto and late Vogue Italia Editor in Chief Franca Sozzani, that since 2009 has advanced sustainability within the textile and fashion sectors, and forms part of the Fashion to Reconnect: A Tale of Two Style Capitals programme of Fashion Fest.

HANOVER, Germany, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To meet the needs of large-scale and demanding field conditions, XAG has recently launched the P150 Max, a robust and fully autonomous agricultural drone engineered to balance reliability, safety and operating efficiency. With increased payload capacity, a modular design, and upgraded flight control, the P150 Max marks XAG’s latest step toward practical, field-ready automation as farmers face rising labor shortages and cost pressure.
XAG P150 Max agricultural drone delivers precision spraying with high efficiency
Backed by 18 years of development, XAG holds the world’s largest portfolio of agricultural drone patents, with the P Series proven across tens of millions of hectares and totaling over 9.3 million flight hours since 2022. This extensive field experience forms the foundation of the new P150 Max, set to reduce operational costs, maintain safety, and support more sustainable farming.
The P150 Max is a multitasker capable of spraying, spreading, field mapping, and logistics by switching between modular task systems within minutes. With an 80‑kilogram payload capacity and a maximum flight speed of 20 meters per second, it covers more ground per flight, reduces the number of takeoffs and landings, and navigates flexibly over uneven terrain and in areas difficult for large machinery to access.
At spraying time, the RevoSpray 5 System uses an 80‑liter smart liquid tank and dual centrifugal nozzles to deliver 32 liters per minute. When equipped with the four‑nozzle upgrade kit, the flow rate increases to 46 liters per minute, providing thorough coverage even in dense orchards. Droplet sizes can be adjusted between 60 and 500 microns for different applications, improving accuracy and reducing waste.
For spreading operations such as seeding, fertilizing, or powder application, the RevoCast 5 System dispenses up to 300 kilograms per minute from a 115‑liter smart granule container. Its vertical waving broadcast mechanism ensures even distribution and resists wind drift, ensuring uniform coverage across wide or irregular fields.
The built‑in RealTerra Field Mapping System enhances operational clarity by surveying up to 20 hectares per flight. It captures high‑definition imagery that is processed instantly into detailed field maps. With onboard AI detecting boundaries and obstacles, operators can plan precise routes and conduct safer autonomous missions.
When fitted with the RevoSling Module, the P150 Max becomes a transport platform capable of carrying up to 80 kilograms of farm inputs, tools, or produce across rough or flooded ground. It keeps supplies moving between plots when roads are hard to access.
At its core, the SuperX 5 Ultra Intelligent Control System enables autonomous flight with centimeter‑level precision. Supported by 4D Imaging Radar and a wide‑angle FPV camera, the drone identifies irrigation pivots, power poles, and overhead lines to maintain safe and stable performance.
Operators can plan and manage missions through the XAG One App on a smartphone or the SRC 5 Remote Controller, which automatically generates optimal routes based on field shape and terrain. Centimeter-level positioning is maintained even in areas with weak or no network signal, enabled by the XRTK 7 Mobile Station.
The Smart SuperCharge Battery is designed to support long hours of fieldwork. Using the Parallel Charging Kit, it can be recharged in as little as seven minutes, minimizing downtime and supporting continuous operations throughout the day.
Launched after years of testing and refinement, the XAG P150 Max combines a durable structure, intelligent control, and superior terrain adaptability to deliver reliable performance under diverse conditions. It is now available for preorder through XAG’s distributor network in selected countries and regions, with deliveries expected to begin next year.
Cushman & Wakefield Report Highlights Five Key Market Impacts
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 November 2025 – Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has released its The 15th Five-Year Plan — Reshaping China’s Real Estate Market Landscape for the Next Five Years report. It provides an expert interpretation of the communique from the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, and explores how the new Five-Year Plan (FYP) will influence China’s real estate market from 2026 to 2030.
The 15th FYP marks a notable juncture in China’s pursuit of its “Two Centenary Goals.” It serves as the operational blueprint connecting to the 14th Five-Year Plan and laying the foundation for modernization by 2035, and will also reshape the future landscape of China’s commercial real estate market.
During the 14th FYP period, China faced unprecedented challenges: the COVID-19 pandemic, rising anti-globalization sentiment, and geopolitical volatility. These factors slowed global economic momentum and created complex pressures on China’s growth trajectory. Consequently, the nation faces mounting pressures on both domestic and international fronts, necessitating timely and coordinated policy solutions.
In response to these challenges, the government has adopted a strategic framework focused on “domestic circulation as the core, reinforced by international circulation.”
The 15th FYP serves as the operational blueprint for executing this strategy. It outlines a comprehensive set of priorities aimed at driving sustainable and inclusive growth over the next five years, including the building of a modern industrial system, technological self-reliance, domestic market cultivation, and high-level opening up.
Cushman & Wakefield identifies five major impacts on real estate:
New Productive Forces Driving Office and Industrial Demand
The FYP prioritizes a modern industrial system to optimize traditional industries, expand emerging industries, and position for the future. Strategic sectors such as new energy vehicles and biomedicine have already achieved large-scale growth. New energy vehicle production reached 12.8 million units at the end of 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of 72% and a global market share of 76.4%. In the first five months of 2025, China’s share of global large-scale pharmaceutical industry transactions surged to 42%. And in AI manufacturing technologies, China leads globally in industrial robot installations, with 276,300 units in 2023 — six times Japan’s total. Over the next five years, policy and capital support for industrial and technology enterprises will likely spur demand for office space and industrial parks, enabling a recovery and new growth phase.

Domestic Demand Expansion Boosting Retail Development
The 15th FYP highlights a model of “new demand leading new supply, and new supply creating new demand,” marking a shift from reliance on material investment and supply-side reforms to leveraging both supply and demand. Over the past few decades, China has achieved success in “investing in physical assets” such as infrastructure, real estate, and manufacturing equipment, but investment in human capital and public welfare has lagged behind.
The FYP signals a policy shift toward addressing public concerns such as education, social security and employment, healthcare, and housing. Policies such as childcare subsidies and free preschool education aim to unlock consumption potential. Consumer infrastructure REITs have become a market hotspot, with all 11 listed products posting strong gains. As at October 15, 2025, two REITS — Cathay Shih Mei and E Fund Huawei Farmers’ Market — recorded gains exceeding 70%. As the government continues to stimulate consumption and consumer-focused REITs expand, retail assets should attract growing investor interest, prompting brand repositioning and exploration of new demographics and demand sources.
High-Quality Opening-Up Attracting Global Capital
Despite global protectionism, China’s two-way opening-up has yielded significant results. As a core asset class for global capital allocation to the RMB, Panda bonds have surpassed RMB1 trillion in issuances, benefiting from financing cost advantages. The FYP’s policy certainty and defined targets, together with expectations for RMB appreciation, are also expected to attract global capital back into China’s capital markets. Over the medium to long term, China asset classes such as retail properties, industrial logistics facilities, data centers, and office buildings are likely to garner growing interest from international investors.

Livelihood Improvements Supporting Real Estate Growth
The FYP highlights real estate sector development within the context of improving people’s livelihoods, reflecting a fundamental shift in the role of real estate in national economic development. Total real estate investment as a share of China’s GDP dropped to 7.4% in 2024 from nearly 15% in 2014, while remaining under the United States’ average of around 12%. Future market growth policies will focus on the construction of affordable housing, the development of the rental market, and urban renewal.

Accelerating Green Transformation
The FYP prioritizes sustainability in the real estate industry, with approximately 100 national-level zero-carbon industrial parks to be established by the end of the FYP period. A UN Environment Program report for 2024-2025 shows that the global construction industry accounts for 34% of carbon emissions, indicating a significant opportunity for emissions reduction in the real estate sector. ESG considerations are increasingly shaping the sector, with ESG principles becoming a key indicator for evaluating the value of commercial real estate projects.
Sabrina Wei, Chief Policy Analyst and Head of Research, North China, Cushman & Wakefield, said, “The 15th Five-Year Plan, as a blueprint for the ‘accelerated period’ of modernization, is driving China’s economy to shift from investment and export dependence to a new model underpinned by domestic demand and coordinated supply and demand.
The positive impacts of key FYP themes will see the commercial real estate industry usher in an upgrade period across four subsectors: industrial real estate, retail properties, cross-border asset allocation, and green real estate. In the next five years, the combined effects of policy dividends, capital inflows, and consumption upgrades will open up greater development space for China’s commercial real estate, helping the industry achieve high-quality transformation.”
MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 November 2025 – Wildberries, a leading digital platform in Eurasia, announces the results of its ongoing sustainability partnership with eco-tech company Ecoplatform on the three-year anniversary of the initiative’s launch. During this period, customers of the Wildberries online marketplace donated more than four million items of clothing and accessories weighing more than 1,600 tons for reuse or recycling.
The Not Just a Thing initiative (“thing” in Russian refers to clothing or textiles) brings together the convenience of Wildberries’ pick-up points with Ecoplatform’s donation and recycling infrastructure to offer customers a simple way to donate personal items when they pick up their marketplace orders.
“Our project with Ecoplatform is not just an ecological initiative but a sustainable community of responsible individuals who want to change the world for the better. We can see that the habit of donating items for recycling has become the norm for our customers. That inspires us to continue to develop our ecological projects and help make care about the environment a part of our everyday lives,” said Nadezhda Vorontsova, Head of Sustainable Development at the united company Wildberries & Russ.
Wildberries has installed collection boxes operated by Ecoplatform across its pick-up points, enabling more than 150,000 people across Russia to take part in the initiative since its launch. Individuals dropped off items at a single box an average of three to five times, reflecting high customer engagement with the project. The record-setting collection box received more than six tons of items during its operation.
Wildberries and Ecoplatform continue to expand the project’s footprint. In the near future, the partners plan to increase the number of collection boxes at Wildberries pick-up points to enable even more customers to engage in sustainable habits while taking care of their shopping needs.
