Thailand-Cambodia Crime Pact Shouldn’t Undermine Human Rights, Says Right Group

Thailand and Cambodia’s new agreement to combat transnational crime must not come at the expense of human rights, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on 22 April, ahead of a high-profile diplomatic meeting between the two countries in Phnom Penh.

During the summit, held on 23 April, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra announced plans to dismantle organised criminal networks and enhance joint operations along their shared border. 

Key measures include strengthening security cooperation, improving intelligence sharing, conducting landmine clearance, and deepening military collaboration.

The agreement comes amid growing concern from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) that criminal syndicates are rapidly expanding beyond their traditional bases in Southeast Asia to new operations across Africa, South America, Europe, and Pacific islands.

In their recent meetings, both leaders further committed to strengthening defense collaboration, sharing intelligence, and tackling cross-border crimes like cybercrime and human trafficking. They also emphasized closer military cooperation for border stability and peace. 

“We will strengthen our security partnership. We agreed to promote closer military cooperation at all levels to maintain peace and stability along our common border,” Paetongtarn said.

Both countries also agreed to facilitate cross-border tourism, conduct demining operations, and formalize labor protections for Cambodian workers in Thailand.

2025 Belt and Road Creativity and Sustainable Development Seminar Held in Beijing

BEIJING, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from CRI Online:

Group photo of officials and staff members
Group photo of officials and staff members

On April 20, the 2025 Belt and Road Creativity and Sustainable Development Seminar was held in Beijing. It was co-hosted by the International Center for Creativity and Sustainable Development (ICCSD), and the School of International and Public Affairs at Jilin University, and supported by ZGC Science Fiction Industry Innovation Center, and Beijing City of Design Development Co., Ltd. The Seminar was attended by 16 officials from foreign ministries, television stations, education ministries, and other departments of 11 countries, such as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the United Republic of Tanzania, the Republic of Kenya, the Republic of Ghana, the Togolese Republic, and the Republic of Sierra Leone.

Lecture was given by Yang Baozhen, Member of the Advisory Committee of ICCSD, International Expert Committee Member of the China Association for Small & Medium Commercial Enterprises (CASMCE), and former consul of the Chinese Embassy in France

Yang Baozhen, guest speaker of the Seminar, gave a lecture revolving around “China’s Implementation of the U.N.’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” She introduced China’s methods, approaches and practical cases of poverty alleviation in detail from different aspects, such as economic initiatives, policies and mechanisms, public wellbeing, and fairness in education. Her speech vividly presented the core concept and values of Chinese modernization. Meanwhile, the lecture focused on the cooperation between China and Africa, sharing the fruitful achievements made by the two sides in infrastructure building, agricultural development, and medical assistance. In addition, Yang Baozhen called for enhanced international cooperation among different countries, so as to jointly help realize the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The African officials highly recognized China’s experience in poverty relief, and were amazed by the country’s enormous achievements in the field. They believed that China not only reminds the world of the importance and feasibility of poverty reduction, but also shares its courage and experience. In their view, China’s valuable experience in poverty alleviation has inspired new strategies for tackling poverty worldwide. They also praised China fulfilling its responsibility to promote global development as a responsible major country, and contributing to the common prosperity of the world. The officials emphasized China’s sustainable strategic planning in which continuous efforts have been put into poverty relief, and they thought that is inspiring. Some of them hoped they could learn from China’s experience in light of their respective national conditions, so as to help develop their countries.

In the afternoon, the officials went on a field trip to the Shougang Park. They visited the “RE International Center for Digital Creativity.” The Center is a digital museum-like institution displaying cultural heritage based on the transformation of the Park’s industrial relics. Using technologies like holography, digital sound field control, and extended reality (XR), it transforms the former industrial silo into a cool time machine. The officials marveled at exhibitions—the Infinite Iron City and Return to the Old Summer Palace, embracing the past and present of the Shougang Park and the splendid Summer Palace in fascinating lights and shadows.

International officials visited an exhibition named Return to the Old Summer Palace

Rumbidzai Mwalilino, a Malawian official, spoke highly of the Shougang Park using technology to conserve cultural heritage. For her, the Park reproduces historical scenes through virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), creating a more vivid format to communicate cultural heritage and a lively and appreciable carrier of cultural memories for the young generation. She said that inspires cultural inheritance and protection in the digital era.

International officials experienced an exhibition named “Huanju – Multiverse Immersive Sci-Fi Exhibition”

As technological waves emerge, the deep integration of culture and technology leads to the creation of innovation and changes. New cultural sectors are appearing, with the cultural industry chain continuously extending. The sci-fi industry is booming, causing cutting-edge technology such as VR, augmented reality (AR), and AI to change the way we interact with the digital world. In the metaverse digital experience complex at Shougang Park, the delegation of officials experienced an exhibition named “Huanju – Multiverse Immersive Sci-Fi Exhibition.” From Dinosaur Crisis to Rhythm Agent and Star Trek, seven sci-fi planets provided the officials with a cyber sci-fi show, leading them into a magnificent and wonderful sci-fi world.

Koroma Mark Thaimu, an official from the Republic of Sierra Leone, pointed out that China has always attached great importance to cultural inheritance while promoting the digital transformation, and has protected its unique culture and infused development with long-lasting vitality by embedding local culture into technological innovation. He planned to bring China’s experience in integrating technology and culture to Africa, hoping to harness technological innovation to support the preservation and continued development of cultural heritage.

It is said that the Seminar focuses on core topics, such as creative design, technological innovation, urban renewal and green transformation. Through special lectures, case discussion, and immersive field research, it shares China’s exploration and experience in creativity and sustainable development with officials from countries of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and other relevant nations. This program builds a platform for mutual learning among civilizations based on creative endowment. It shares China’s sustainable development pattern that incorporates traditions into modern technology, and encourages officials to develop adaptable solutions according to their respective national conditions, so as to help achieve the global SDGs.

Sanofi and Sobi extend their partnership with the World Federation of Hemophilia Humanitarian Aid Program

  • Up to five-year contract extension to support the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program with medicine donations and financial assistance

MONTREAL, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) and WFH USA, together with Sanofi, through its philanthropic organization Foundation S, and Sobi, announce the signing of a contract providing support to the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program in the form of medicine donations and financial assistance for up to 5 years. This is the second renewal of the collaboration, which has been in place for more than ten years and demonstrates the partners’ commitment to providing the necessary care and resources for people with hemophilia around the world.

The commitment includes the donation of up to 100 million international units (IU) of factor therapy per year that will be distributed by the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program worldwide to developing countries. This will enable the WFH to deliver aid to people with inherited bleeding disorders across the globe.

The new signing comes as Sanofi and Sobi celebrate the tenth anniversary of answering the WFH call to action to support the global inherited bleeding disorders community through the donation of treatment products and financial aid. Between 2014 and 2024, Sanofi and Sobi provided one billion IUs of treatment product, enabling the treatment of 22,219 people with inherited bleeding disorders.

Alaa Hamed
Global Head of Medical Affairs, Rare Diseases, Sanofi
“Building on the legacy of the original ten-year, one billion IU commitment, this new agreement reaffirms Sanofi and Sobi’s dedication to creating a predictable, sustainable program that addresses unmet needs and advances the standard of care for hemophilia worldwide. Over the past decade, these contributions have expanded treatment availability and transformed patient outcomes.  We are proud to leverage the Foundation S expertise and continue providing essential treatments and with this renewal ensuring improvement to the quality of life for thousands of individuals in developing countries for years to come.”

Lydia Abad-Franch
Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer, Sobi
“We are immensely proud to continue our contributions to the Humanitarian Aid Program of the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). Since the initial pledge, over 22,000 people with hemophilia have been treated with factor donated by Sobi and Sanofi. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the WFH and look forward to the positive impact it will have on the lives of those affected by inherited bleeding disorders.”

Cesar Garrido
President, World Federation of Hemophilia
The contributions of Sanofi and Sobi to the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program can’t be overstated — and especially in the last ten years after they answered the WFH call to action. This new five-year contract will continue that legacy of support for the global inherited bleeding disorders community, and it will help us get closer to our shared vision of Treatment for All.”

Mark Skinner
Board Member, World Federation of Hemophilia, USA
“The WFH Humanitarian Aid program is an extraordinary example of collaboration. The life-changing impact of this program is a testament to what can be achieved by working together with our industry partners. The visionary leadership of Sobi and Sanofi’s Foundation S has provided inspiration for others in industry, hope for patients and their families, and elevated capacity of health care professionals around the world.”

About the World Federation of Hemophilia
The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and sustaining care for people with inherited bleeding disorders around the world. At the WFH, national member organizations (NMOs) and health care professionals (HCPs) work together to provide care for people with inherited bleeding disorders around the world. We partner with governments and hemophilia treatment centres to enhance knowledge through training and provide tools they need to identify, support and treat people living with bleeding disorders in their communities, while promoting global advocacy and collaboration to achieve our common goals. The WFH Humanitarian Aid Program improves the lack of access to care and treatment by providing much-needed support for people with inherited bleeding disorders in developing countries. By providing patients with a more predictable and sustainable flow of humanitarian aid donations, the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program makes it possible for patients to receive consistent and reliable access to treatment and care. None of this would be possible without the generous support of Sanofi and Sobi, our Founding Visionary Contributors; Bayer, CSL Behring and Roche, our Visionary Contributors; Grifols, our Leadership Contributor; and Takeda, our Contributor.

Our vision of Treatment for All is for a world where all people with inherited bleeding disorders have access to care, regardless of their type of bleeding disorder, gender, or where they live. Our mission is to improve and sustain care for people with inherited bleeding disorders around the world.

(Stock Code: 002139.SZ), together with its sub-brand Ecosolex, made a high-profile debut at Solartech Indonesia 2025, one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most influential renewable energy exhibitions. Under the theme “Full-Stack Innovation for a Smarter Energy Future,” Topband showcased its comprehensive energy solutions designed for both residential and commercial-industrial applications.

With IP54 protection and an operating temperature range from -20°C to 50°C, it is engineered for outdoor reliability.

Drawing on years of global market experience and a responsive customer service framework, Topband is rapidly building a localized service and support network across Indonesia. This includes technical assistance, operations, and maintenance—ensuring quick response times and reliable aftersales care. These initiatives are in strong alignment with Indonesia’s national sustainability goals, including its “Net Zero Emission by 2060” commitment and the “Program Kepulauan Surya”(”Solar Archipelago”)development vision.

Driving Southeast Asia’s Energy Transformation

With its full-stack R&D capabilities and deep adaptation to local market needs, Topband is taking firm steps to participate in the transformation of Southeast Asia’s energy landscape.
