KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and WUHU, China, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On October 21, 2025, a global industry event transcending geography and culture—the 2025 OMODA & JAECOO International User Summit—was grandly held in Wuhu. Centered around the theme “Co-Create, Co-Define,” the summit brought together more than 3,000 participants from nearly 100 countries, including overseas users, dealer partners, ESG advisory members, and media representatives, to witness an in-depth dialogue on the future of mobility.

A strategic highlight of the summit was the launch of the Global ESG Advisory Alliance of OMODA & JAECOO’s parent company, marking a systematic upgrade in the company’s sustainable development efforts. This year, the alliance expanded its lineup, adding influential organizations such as IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), United Nations University, and the Asian Paralympic Committee, with members now spanning media, public welfare organizations, and financial and insurance institutions.

Notably, former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon attended in person, joining the alliance as an ESG advisor. His participation not only enhanced the alliance’s international credibility but also reflected global recognition of the company’s sustainable development path. The upgraded alliance represents a shift from internal ESG strategy to open, collaborative global action, promoting low-carbon technology R&D, public welfare projects, and industry standard-setting, driving sustainable mobility from advocacy to scalable practice.

In ESG strategy, OMODA & JAECOO’s parent company has built a framework supported by three pillars: “Low-Carbon Transition and Nature Benefits,” “Value Chain Collaborative Cooperation,” and “Self-Discipline and Compliance Development,” with tangible achievements. Technologically, innovations such as the Mars Architecture Hybrid Platform and solid-state batteries aid low-carbon transition; environmentally, it became the first Chinese automaker to receive mutual recognition under the China-Europe Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); socially, it partnered with UNICEF to “Empower Every Child’s Learning Journey” and collaborates with IUCN on nature conservation projects, demonstrating commitment from promise to action.

The 2025 OMODA & JAECOO International User Summit successfully convened with the theme “CO-CREATE • CO-DEFINE”, focusing on the future vision “ENTER SUPER NEXT”, bringing global users together to explore new possibilities in intelligent mobility. Upholding the brand vision of “Co-Creating a Better Life with Young People,” OMODA focuses on becoming the world’s leading professional Crossover brand, while JAECOO, guided by the philosophy “Rooted in Classics, Beyond Classics,” aims to be the world’s premier refined off-road brand, with both brands collaboratively building differentiated competitive strength.

Notably, the Mo Jia Robot (AiMOGA), co-developed with the AiMOGA team, made its debut at the summit, exemplifying intelligent co-creation in the automotive industry and further expanding the brand’s innovation boundary in smart technology.

In Malaysia, OMODA & JAECOO currently offers models including J7, J7 PHEV, J8, and C9, and will continue to introduce more new models that meet local market demand. Under the same group, OMODA & JAECOO has 3 sister brands in Malaysia – Chery, iCAUR and Lepas.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysia today etched a defining milestone in global human capital history with the hosting of the Global Skills Forum (GSF) 2025 at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur.

Held in conjunction with Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship and the ASEAN Year of Skills (AYOS) 2025, the Forum convened governments, industries and communities worldwide to advance skills transformation, highlighting the private sector’s role as a catalyst for innovation, inclusion and impact.

Spearheaded by the Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia (KESUMA) through the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp), with the support from the ASEAN Secretariat, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Organisation of Employers (IOE), GSF 2025 stood as a premier global platform for dialogue, collaboration and action on the future of skills.

The opening ceremony was officiated by Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid bin Hamidi, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, who emphasised ASEAN’s unique potential and the role of skills in shaping its future.

“With the right skills, this youth dividend can be transformed into a source of innovation and prosperity, not just for Southeast Asia, but for the global economy,” said Zahid.

Gilbert F. Houngbo, Director-General of the ILO, in his speech praised Minister Steven Sim’s leadership in advancing AYOS 2025, noting him as a central voice for labour and skills in the region.

“I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to the Ministry of Human Resources under the leadership of Minister Steven Sim whom I regard as one of the region’s most dynamic and visionary labour ministers. His leadership in championing the ASEAN Year of Skills 2025 truly reflects Malaysia’s commitment to empowering our region’s workforce for the future,” said Gilbert.

“I must recognise the outstanding work that the Government of Malaysia has carried out as ASEAN Chair for the ASEAN Year of Skills 2025. The ILO stands ready to support Malaysia and ASEAN as you strive to realise your vision of a region whose workforce is ready to meet the challenges of the future,” he added.

Steven Sim Chee Keong, Minister of Human Resources Malaysia, in his speech, emphasised that workers must remain at the heart of economic progress.

“Workers are creators of value in our economy. The gains for workers over the last 100 years must not only be safeguarded, we must continue to progress, especially in view of new dynamics,” said Steven Sim.

He also highlighted the importance of GSF as part of a broader regional movement.

“The Global Skills Forum is not a standalone event, it is a key pillar of the ASEAN Year of Skills 2025, bringing together governments, employers, workers and learning communities across the region,” he added.

Themed “The Transformative Role of Private Sector in Skills Development: Driving Innovation and Impact”, GSF 2025 examined key challenges in workforce development and shared good practices to address them. The forum, attended by close to 600 delegates, explored how governments, employers and training institutions can co-create agile, human-centred strategies that respond to rapid technological change, evolving labour markets and global disruptions. It reinforced skills as the currency of opportunity, competitiveness and sustainability for both business and society.

A defining moment of the event was the pledge of Malaysia’s commitment to skills development for the future workforce of ASEAN nations and the global community to strengthen collaboration, nurture future-ready skills and empower communities towards a resilient, sustainable and competitive Malaysia within ASEAN.

AYOS 2025 moves towards its conclusion with the Gala Dinner “Colours of Success: A Celebration of Achievements” this evening, celebrating the achievements of its seven flagship platforms.

• Microsegmentation isolates parts of a network so a breach in one area can’t spread, helping businesses contain attacks and protect critical systems.
• Zero Networks automates microsegmentation, enabling enterprises to achieve full segmentation in as little as 3 steps and 30 days.
• Expands ViewQwest’s regional cybersecurity suite to strengthen enterprise security and deliver Zero Trust resilience with multi-layered defence across Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Hong Kong SAR.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ViewQwest, a leading regional network and security solutions provider, yesterday announced at GovWare 2025 a strategic partnership with Zero Networks, the cybersecurity innovator behind fully automated, agentless microsegmentation, to empower enterprises across SEA with stronger protection against lateral cyberattacks and ransomware spread.

Traditional microsegmentation was designed to stop attackers from moving laterally within networks—but legacy solutions rely on manual rule-setting, agents, and complex deployments that often take years to implement and frequently break networks. As cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, this complexity leaves organisations exposed to lateral movement, where attackers infiltrate one system and spread rapidly to critical assets. According to Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), capabilities such as automated asset discovery and tagging, automated policy creation and management, and MFA integration are key for overcoming legacy microsegmentation limitations.

With this partnership, ViewQwest delivers Zero Networks’ microsegmentation platform through its managed service expertise—combining powerful automation with deep knowledge of network topology and operations. The Zero Networks platform integrates seamlessly into enterprise environments, from design and policy mapping to ongoing optimisation and audit readiness.

• Agentless protection by leveraging native host firewalls with no additional software or overlays required.
• Rapid deployment, achieving full microsegmentation in as little as 3 steps and 30 days, compared to years for legacy solutions.
• Patented MFA-at-the-port technology, the first and only approach that enforces just-in-time multi-factor authentication for admin ports such as RDP, SSH, and WinRM.
• Universal coverage across IT, OT, IoT, cloud, legacy apps, and databases.

This managed approach gives enterprises a simpler, faster path to achieving Zero Trust resilience—removing the complexity, cost, and disruption typical of legacy microsegmentation projects.

“Enterprises across the region are under constant cyber pressure, and many continue to struggle with the complexity and cost of traditional segmentation,” said Vignesa Moorthy, CEO of ViewQwest. “By partnering with Zero Networks, we’re making enterprise-grade, automated microsegmentation accessible—delivered simply, quickly, and effectively.”

Adam Hofeler, Zero Networks Vice President of Sales and GTM, added: “Zero Networks is thrilled to collaborate with ViewQwest and to bring this partnership to fruition. I personally worked with their team previously, and know firsthand they have a best-in-class security practice. With our combined growth in the market, I expect our customers and prospects will benefit greatly from this joint engagement. ViewQwest will be a key partner for us across SEA.”

Secure & Resilient By Design

As a trusted regional leader in secure connectivity, ViewQwest continues to strengthen its cybersecurity suite to help enterprises achieve Zero Trust resilience—where every connection is verified, every access controlled, and every threat contained. At GovWare 2025, Singapore’s flagship cybersecurity event, ViewQwest showcased its latest suite of cybersecurity solutions.

• Connect securely with SecureNet Private SASE, delivering visibility and protection across distributed networks.
• Communicate safely with SecureMail Gateway, shielding users from phishing and email-borne threats.
• Contain attacks effectively with Zero Networks Microsegmentation, enforcing Zero Trust at the network layer and stopping lateral movement before it spreads.

Together, these capabilities form the foundation of a Secure and Resilient by Design architecture—demonstrating ViewQwest’s commitment to delivering enterprise-grade protection that evolves with today’s digital demands.

NEW YORK and SHANGHAI, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The New Terminal One at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport today announced a new strategic partnership with China Eastern Airlines, a member of the SkyTeam alliance. Headquartered in Shanghai, China Eastern will join the rapidly growing community of international airlines that have selected the New Terminal One as their partner to deliver a world-class guest experience at JFK, the largest aviation gateway into the United States.

As of October 2025, China Eastern operates an extensive network connecting Shanghai to 256 destinations in 37 countries. Currently located at the existing Terminal 1, the airline will continue to offer nonstop service between Shanghai and New York from New Terminal One, providing travelers with seamless access to one of Asia’s most important financial and cultural hubs.

The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.

“We are honored to serve as China Eastern Airlines’ long-term strategic partner as they continue to grow in New York City,” said Jennifer Aument, Chief Executive Officer of The New Terminal One. “China Eastern’s commitment to exceptional service aligns with our vision to transform the international travel experience at JFK. We’re excited to work together to create a premier gateway between New York City and Shanghai.”

The New Terminal One, scheduled to open its first gates in 2026, will be JFK’s largest terminal once complete. The state-of-the-art facility will feature the latest technology, modern amenities, elevated retail and dining options and sustainable design to maximize operational efficiency and passenger comfort.

China Eastern is the sixth member of SkyTeam to select the New Terminal One as its new home at JFK, after Air France, KLM, Korean Air, SAS and China Airlines. They are part of a growing community of leading airlines that will operate at the New Terminal One, including Etihad, LOT Polish Airlines, EVA Air, Air Serbia, Neos, Philippine Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Air New Zealand, Royal Air Maroc, Air China, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways and EGYPTAIR.

About The New Terminal One

The New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport is a bold and exciting project to develop a best-in-class international terminal that will serve as an anchor terminal in the Port Authority’s $19 billion transformation of JFK into a global gateway to the New York metropolitan area and the United States. The New Terminal One will set a new standard for design and service, aspiring to obtain a Top 5 Skytrax ranking.

The New Terminal One is being built on sites now occupied by Terminal 1 and the former Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, where it will anchor JFK’s south side. Construction is taking place in phases with full completion in 2030. The first phase, including the new arrivals and departures halls and first set of 14 new gates, is expected to open in 2026. At completion in 2030, the New Terminal One, with a total of 23 gates, will be 2.6 million square feet, making it the largest terminal at JFK and nearly the same size as LaGuardia Airport’s two new terminals combined.

The New Terminal One consortium of labor, operating, and financial partners is led by Ferrovial, JLC Infrastructure, Ullico, and Carlyle. The New Terminal One is being built by union labor and is committed to local inclusion and labor participation, focusing on diversity and capacity-building opportunities, including a commitment to target participation goals of 20% for minority-owned business enterprises, 10% for women-owned business enterprises, and 3% for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, with an emphasis on local businesses.
