This diverse international participation infused the forum with global perspectives and cutting-edge ideas.

Centered on the permanent theme of “Dialogue with the World for Common Development,” the forum featured one opening ceremony (including the 2025 Beijing CBD Multinational Corporation Summit), four flagship international events, and multiple parallel forums.

During the opening ceremony’s achievements release session, Chaoyang District unveiled several high-quality development projects and outcomes. International business associations and global business district representatives jointly launched the “Building a Clean, Beautiful, and Sustainable World Together” initiative. Additionally, the “Belt and Road” Express Service Platform’s “CBD Lounge” was inaugurated. The forum also recognized the second batch of standing council members of the Beijing CBD Multinational Corporation Summit, establishing a new benchmark for foreign-funded enterprises based on headquarters prioritization and industry leadership.

Beijing CBD ranks as China’s top and the world’s seventh-largest business district. In 2024 alone, the CBD area added 10 new regional headquarters of multinational corporations, bringing the total to 122. Since 2000, the Beijing CBD Forum has evolved into a frontline platform for China’s global dialogue and a robust pillar for Beijing’s role as an international exchange hub.

UNDP Asia Mayors Forum Held Concurrently, Four Flagship Events to Boost Economic Cooperation

Beijing CBD is the most concentrated area for foreign-funded enterprises in the capital. The forum aims to foster international economic collaboration and attract investment. During the event, Beijing CBD will host four flagship international activities: the Beijing CBD Global Board Meeting Series, Government-Business Dialogue, Global Business Districts “Experience Beijing” Event, and Sino-Foreign Automakers Roundtable.

Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the forum emphasizes international cooperation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and financial and technological innovation to drive urban sustainability.

Hosting nearly 16,000 foreign entities, it is Beijing’s most concentrated area for multinational regional headquarters. The CBD Administrative Committee continues to refine its business-friendly environment.

Initiatives like the “CBD Investment Service Center” streamline administrative processes, while the “Headquarters Growth Plan” assists companies like BMW China and Toyota Financial Services in obtaining regional headquarters status. In May 2025, the “Beijing CBD Foreign Investment Service Center” launched, positioning itself as the “first stop for foreign enterprises entering China.”

Through institutional innovation, Beijing CBD advances the integrated business environment of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. In June 2023, the “Beijing CBD-Tianjin Port Collaborative Service Center” was established with Tianjin Port Group and Beijing Customs, offering one-stop logistics services.

Aligned with global trade standards, Beijing CBD is building a market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized business ecosystem. It has attracted top arbitration bodies like the Beijing Arbitration Commission and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre.

Citri Mobile Expands IRP-Certified iPhone Repairs with New Singapore Outlet in Tampines


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 June 2025 – Mobile devices play a vital role in Singapore’s infrastructure, supporting communication, education, logistics, and work-related functions. As reliance on these devices increases, the demand for accessible repair services continues to grow.

Citri Mobile, an independent repair provider headquartered in Singapore, has expanded its physical presence with the opening of a new outlet in Tampines, complementing its longstanding location in Chinatown. As part of its service offerings, the company is equipped to support iPhone repairs in accordance with guidelines set under Apple’s Independent Repair Provider (IRP) program. For details on service coverage, repair procedures, and location availability, visit Citri Mobile.

IRP Certification for iPhone Repairs

The IRP program by Apple grants approved third-party repair providers access to original iPhone parts, diagnostic software, and documentation. Technicians operating under this certification are required to follow defined procedures for repair and quality assurance.

Citri Mobile is one of the companies in Singapore operating under the IRP framework. The certification covers iPhone models including the most recent versions and enables repairs such as battery replacement, display servicing, and hardware diagnostics using tools and software provided through the program. This structure is designed to ensure consistency in the repair process while supporting compliance with Apple’s service standards.

Customers looking for IRP-compliant servicing options across a wide model range can find more information on iPhone repair Singapore.

Technical Operations and Repair Processes

Repairs are conducted by technicians working from structured workstations. These setups support functions such as component testing, micro-soldering, and device-level diagnostics. Procedures follow standard intake and service workflows that begin with inspection and quotation, and end with post-repair verification.

For issues related to display, power, battery, or audio, customers can access comprehensive service options through the mobile repair Singapore portal, which outlines supported brands and common fault types.

Services also include MacBook repair Singapore, covering diagnostics and repairs for screen damage, battery performance, motherboard issues, LCD replacement, and devices that fail to power on — all handled by the company’s in-house technicians

Tampines Outlet Launch and Operational Scope

The opening of Citri Mobile’s new Tampines outlet extends its physical presence into the eastern region of Singapore. The original branch located in Chinatown remains operational. Both outlets offer walk-in support as well as appointment-based services.

Individuals seeking local repair assistance can refer to the Singapore repair location directory, which lists full address details, opening hours, and booking instructions for both Tampines and Chinatown outlets.

Each location supports repair of Apple and non-Apple devices. Common repairs include screen replacements, battery servicing, and resolution of audio, camera, or connectivity faults. Staff at both locations follow internal service protocols to standardize operations and maintain transparency in cost and timing.

Multi-Brand Repair Capability

Citri Mobile conducts repairs across a variety of smartphone and laptop brands, including Samsung, Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Google Pixel. Repair workflows are adapted based on device model, fault type, and parts availability.

Technicians maintain an internal inventory of frequently requested components. Where required, external sourcing is conducted through designated supply partners to reduce repair timeframes. Repairs are performed in-house, with functional testing conducted prior to device return.

Industry Context and Repair Demand

Singapore’s mobile device repair sector continues to evolve in response to rising device costs and consumer interest in extending product lifespan. Repair services have grown in relevance as individuals and businesses seek practical alternatives to full device replacement.

The opening of the Tampines outlet aligns with observed shifts in consumer preferences toward geographically accessible service centers. It reflects increased reliance on same-day repair options, particularly in residential and business districts with limited proximity to major malls or manufacturer-run service centers.

Service Structure and Quality Controls

Repair procedures follow a structured process from device intake to post-service review. This includes initial diagnostics, quotation issuance, parts matching, and final verification. Customers are briefed during intake and collection phases to ensure clarity on repairs conducted and any long-term considerations.

Internal documentation is maintained for each repair to support post-service inquiries and assist with follow-up if needed. This documentation includes diagnostic results, parts used, and technician remarks where applicable.

Quality control is managed through standard checks including screen calibration, battery health monitoring, port connectivity tests, and system restarts. These checks are conducted prior to return of the device.

Online Engagement and Public Channels

Information about repair services and store locations is made available through official online platforms. These include contact forms, social media pages, and third-party review platforms. Communication is managed by internal staff, who respond to general inquiries and service requests submitted online.

Repair outcomes, customer questions, and operational updates are sometimes documented through the company’s social channels for informational purposes.

Technological Considerations in Modern Repairs

As smartphones and laptops continue to incorporate secure components, proprietary screws, and software locks, the complexity of repair has increased. Service providers are adapting to these changes by investing in specialized training, diagnostic software, and precision tools.

The IRP framework provides participating providers with the means to meet some of these challenges for Apple devices. This includes access to Apple’s calibration and diagnostic tools, which allow repairs to be performed with greater alignment to manufacturer specifications.

Conclusion

The expansion into Tampines and participation in the IRP program represent two key steps in Citri Mobile’s broader strategy to offer structured, traceable repair options within Singapore. The company continues to operate from its dual outlets and maintain standardized repair workflows across supported device types. Additional background, service policies, and device coverage are available through official channels.

Our Water Season 2 Launches in London, Advancing Shanghai-London Dialogue on Future Waterfronts


SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 June 2025 – The second season of Our Water: Flowing from Shanghai – Intercultural Dialogues Among World Cities officially launched on June 10 along the Thames River in London, ushering in a new chapter of collaboration between Shanghai and London focused on waterfront development, cultural exchange, and sustainable urban growth.

Wang Qi, Minister at the Chinese Embassy in the UK, noted in his remarks that both Shanghai and London have flourished thanks to their rivers, prospered as port cities, and continue to be revitalized by culture and innovation. “Today’s event is not only an exchange between two cities, but also a meaningful cultural interaction and a collective step towards a better future,” he said.

During the event, representatives from London, Liverpool, and Shanghai jointly launched the World-class Waterfront Development Initiative, aiming to drive the comprehensive transformation of urban waterfronts worldwide—from spatial regeneration to the integration of ecology, economy, and culture. The initiative aspires to establish global demonstration zones and pioneering models of waterfront development aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Julia King, Co-founder of Social Place and former Researcher at the Cities Research Centre at the London School of Economics, shared her perspective: “I think China broadly has done a lot more interesting projects around nature-based solutions for rivers in general. And I think the approach that Shanghai is taking to its river, to its principal attributes is something that I think we could probably learn a lot from and then have an exchange as to kind of around public realm.”

Michael Clifford, Economic Advisor at EY-Parthenon, added: “I think there’s already a good foundation of working collaboration between London and Shanghai. London has a real focus on investable propositions and opportunities and particularly in the development space, a whole set of kind of development opportunities around and alongside the river.”

Our Water Season 2 will launch a six-day program in London featuring six flagship events focused on cultural dialogue, historical and environmental renewal, Sino-British numismatic heritage, multimedia art, culinary exchange, and global innovation collaboration. Later this year, the season will return to Shanghai, where activities like the Shanghai–London “Poetry in Twin Cities Metro” campaign will be officially unveiled.Hashtag: #ShanghaiEye

Roganic
Helmed by British chef Simon Rogan MBE, Roganic—a Michelin Star and Green Star recipient—champions farm-to-table dining with local, organic ingredients. Its new menu showcases inventive dishes that celebrate Hong Kong’s seasonal bounty, served in a warm space crafted with recycled timber for a sustainable, earthy charm. In June, Roganic will introduce two innovative dishes: Seaweed Custard with Smoked Eel and Fermented Horseradish, and Stuffed Three Yellow Chicken with White Dragon Corn, Grilled Lettuce, and a Sauce Infused with Fats and Black Garlic Vinegar.

Roganic’s cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages reflect Simon Rogan’s ethos of fully utilizing every ingredient. The wine list showcases small-scale winemakers who honor nature, crafting distinctive wines. Organized by style rather than region, it invites guests to effortlessly explore their preferences. To complement the menu, Roganic provides three levels of wine pairing and a mixed pairing for those that might want a little less alcohol.
