During the event, surrounded by flowers, nice food and the flowing river, the choir’s melodious singing floated over the Seine. “The fire under the snowy mountains, is as shining as the sunshine in the rainforest. The fine wine of Bordeaux, and the tea soup of Wuzhishan, are mutually appreciating their enchanting fragrance…” The children’s lively and innocent posture and beautiful and wonderful singing, won the warm applause of the French audience.

The Li & Miao Children’s Choir from Shuiman Town, Wuzhishan City, Hainan Province, is consisted of 7-11-year-old Li and Miao primary school students. The children of the choir were very happy to participate in the opening performance of the Sino-French Gourmet Carnival.

Wang Zijun, a young Li ethnic actor, said: “I hope our songs can make more French friends feel the charm of China and love my hometown Hainan.”

According to Liu Min, the composer of “Wuzhishan resounds through France”, the song was inspired by the French song “Si j’allais en Chine”, which glorifies the continuous progress of cultural integration between China and France.

Earlier this year, the MV “Wuzhishan resounds through France” recorded by Wuzhishan City Li & Miao Children’s Choir was selected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and promoted by the Information Center of Xinhua News Agency in the important event held in Paris to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France – “Hello! China, Sunshine Hainan” International Image Exhibition and Hainan Tourism and Cultural Promotion Event.

Lyazid Benhami, viceoresident of the Paris Association of French-Chinese Friendship, highlighted, “The mountain sung by the children is a symbol of the two cultures of China and France looking at each other. It’s two civilisations getting to know each other through a child’s perspective, and it touched us deeply.”

Victoria Bocquillon, a commercial director for a company in Paris, was invited to attend the event. “I hope they like Paris,” she said, “The children’s songs were very touching and the fact that they sang in French made it even more of an honour for us. We French should also go to China to interact with the new generation.”

Yu Qian, Minister of Publicity Department of Wuzhishan Municipal Committee of Hainan Province, noted that Wuzhishan City is located in the south-central part of Hainan Island and is the center of Li and Miao culture in Hainan. It is endowed with pristine tropical rainforests, unique natural scenery and profound Li and Miao cultural heritage.

She said, as a member of the Chinese family, Wuzhishan City will continue to promote traditional Chinese culture, strengthen foreign cultural exchanges and communication, and make positive contributions to the promotion of Sino-French friendship and the cultural diversity of the world.

Lyazid BENHAMI used two “very” to express his appreciation for the children. “They are very, very energetic. They are the new generation that carries the friendship between France and China.”

The “Sino-French Gourmet Carnival” is hosted by Xinhua News Agency and organised by its Information Center. As one of the Projets marquants sur les échanges humains en France et en Chine en 2024 the carnival is supported by the Chinese Embassy in France and the World Federation of Chinese Catering Industry, with more than 80 important guests from the Chinese and French governments, cultural and gastronomic circles, witnessing this gastronomic and cultural gala.

NETGEAR Brings WiFi 7 to its Flagship Orbi Family, Unleashing Elite Connectivity

NETGEAR Orbi 970 Series boasts elegant, new design, high-performance antennas and groundbreaking Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 May 2024 – NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), the leading provider of award-winning connected products designed to simplify and improve people’s lives, today took its award-winning Orbi line to new heights with a powerful new antenna design and exclusive, patented technology that enhance the benefits of WiFi 7. Born of over 25 years of NETGEAR pioneering WiFi expertise, the Orbi 970 Series delivers unparalleled performance, speeds of up to 27 Gbps1, a slim, elegant design and high performance antennas for 360-degree coverage across just about any home, no matter the layout.

NETGEAR Brings WiFi 7 to its Flagship Orbi Family, Unleashing Elite Connectivity

With the rise of faster multi-gig internet speeds now available to more households, the growing number of connected devices per family and the ever-increasing growth of bandwidth-intensive applications such as 4K/8K video streaming, HD Zoom calls, graphics focused work, highly interactive real-time gaming and immersive AR/VR entertainment, the need for faster WiFi speeds, lower latency and more capacity becomes imperative. Enter WiFi 7.

While WiFi 6E opened the 6GHz band as a superhighway for the latest, fastest devices, WiFi 7 builds on that promise by expanding the channels to 320 MHz and unleashing unprecedented speeds and performance. The Orbi 970 Series maximizes the potential of the new standard with innovative, new technology that ensures the benefits are delivered throughout the home, from the front door to the backyard, across all devices simultaneously.

Unmatched speeds, ready for the future

Orbi’s exclusive, patented Quad-Band technology and unique Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul ensure WiFi stays fast across all devices. Setting Orbi apart from competitors, NETGEAR configures multi-link operation (MLO), a feature of WiFi 7, to create Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul which combines a dedicated 5 GHz band with a 6 GHz band to double the connection speed between the router and satellites and achieve 10 Gig wireless backhaul for reduced latency, and data delivery with maximum speed. The system’s Smart Connect feature also intelligently selects the fastest WiFi band for each connected device.

The router features a 10 Gig internet port as well as one 10 Gig and four 2.5Gig Ethernet ports, to achieve the fastest speeds available today.

The new, elegant, cylindrical bodies of the routers and satellites are purposefully designed for optimal performance, while gracing the home with their slim profile and smaller overall footprint to fit unobtrusively on a desk, entertainment unit or shelf. They feature 12 high-performance internal antennas with high-powered amplifiers for 360-degree, wall to wall, front to back coverage.

“The Orbi 970 Series is another major milestone in delivering the extraordinary power of our patented Quad Band technology across the whole home – from the wine cellar to the game room to the backyard grill – with speeds up to 2.4x faster than WiFi 6,” said David Henry, president & general manager of Connected Home Products and Services at NETGEAR. “We’ve combined our extensive RF (radio frequency) expertise and new patented technology with the features of WiFi 7 to provide the fastest WiFi speeds, ensuring anything and everything connected to the Orbi 970 system operates at optimal performance even across the most demanding smart homes.”

Valuable Services

The kit comes with one year of NETGEAR Armor™ Powered by Bitdefender®2, providing an automatic shield of security for connected devices.

The NETGEAR Orbi app also enables convenient setup of the router and satellites, and access to the router features for network management from anywhere – at home or afar.

Need more coverage, look no further

The new Orbi 970 Series mesh system (3 pack) covers up to 10,000 square feet and supports up to 200 devices. To extend coverage, extra satellite(s) can be added. Each add-on satellite increases the coverage of an existing Orbi 970 system by up to 3,000 square feet (about the area of a tennis court) and each has one 10 Gig and two 2.5 Gig Ethernet ports to unlock unbeatable speed and reliability on more wired devices, making true multi-gig WiFi a reality.

ISCA partners Council for Board Diversity and industry leaders to spearhead new board stewardship and governance efforts


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 May 2024 – The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Council for Board Diversity (CBD) to strengthen support for directors and organisations who recognise the importance of good corporate governance and stewardship, and the role board diversity plays in enhancing organisational resilience. ISCA and CBD will work together to advance board diversity — skills, perspectives, experience, gender and backgrounds — for the creation of enterprise value.

The partnership comes at a time when Singapore is witnessing growth in the pool of board talent in the market. According to CBD data, nearly half of all board appointments at the 100 largest companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) made in 2022 went to directors without prior directorship experience at SGX-listed issuers. At the same time, CBD data shows that while women’s participation on the boards of these 100 largest listed companies reached 22.7% as at June 2023, up from 15.2% at end-2018, there is still a long road ahead towards achieving gender balance on boards.

Together, ISCA and CBD will champion effective board governance and diversity through a multifaceted approach, including events for first-time directors, women directors, and aspiring directors, and on joint articles and publications.

As part of the mentoring pillar of ISCA’s new Board of Directors (BOD) Masterclass Programme, ISCA will leverage industry leaders’ experiences and insights to benefit the programme’s participants. A signature of the BOD Masterclass Programme is its new Mentoring Programme, led by Mr Boon Swan Foo, ISCA Distinguished Lifetime Member and Fellow Chartered Accountant of Singapore. Mr Boon is rallying experienced leaders and board practitioners to contribute their time by mentoring participants of the programme, which has been developed to offer an experiential learning journey.

Besides Mr Boon, the list of mentors includes ISCA Distinguished Lifetime Members Mrs Fang Ai Lian and Ms Euleen Goh, as well as Ms Goh Swee Chen and Dr Neo Boon Siong. Mrs Fang chairs the Singapore Business Federation Board of Trustees. Ms Euleen Goh is Chairman of SATS Ltd. Ms Goh Swee Chen is Chairman of Nanyang Technological University Board of Trustees. Dr Neo is a Non-Executive Director at Chip Eng Seng Corporation Ltd.

Aside from the Mentoring Programme, the ISCA’s BOD Masterclass Programme includes training programmes recognised by the Singapore Exchange Regulation that will help directors stay updated on industry trends, regulatory changes and best practices through its bite-sized online courses as well as facilitated in-person learning. ISCA members and BOD Masterclass Programme participants will also be able to leverage ISCA’s board appointment services. Through this complimentary board referral scheme, they will be matched to board appointment opportunities based on their profile, expertise and track record.

Commenting on the partnership, ISCA President Mr Teo Ser Luck said: “We are pleased to embark on this collaborative journey with CBD to bolster support for directors and organisations committed to advancing board diversity in Singapore. This partnership signifies a pivotal step forward towards raising awareness of the importance of board diversity and increasing the representation of women on boards. Embracing diverse perspectives fosters enriched discussions and ultimately leads to better board decisions.”

Mrs Mildred Tan, Co-Chair, Council for Board Diversity, said: “Board directors play a crucial role in guiding their firms towards a sustainable and successful future. At the heart of CBD’s partnership with ISCA is the shared belief that diverse experiences and skills combine to elevate decision-making and drive innovation. We hope our commitment to empowering the growing pool of directors for the demands of good corporate governance paves the way for a more inclusive and resilient business landscape that benefits all stakeholders.”

Mr Boon Swan Foo said: “I am delighted to lead the Board Mentors in providing aspiring Board members with knowledge and skills for director roles, enabling peer-level contributions in boardrooms. Through the BOD Mentoring Programme, participants will be able to glean insights into a director’s unique value propositions, get advice related to board roles and challenges as well as receive guidance from each other’s experiences. I look forward to creating a strong network of mentors where we can exchange our insights and experiences to nurture present and future leaders.”

Syngenta extends leadership in fungicides with ADEPIDYN® technology

  • ADEPIDYN® technology on track to be first of Syngenta’s crop protection active ingredients to attain billion-dollar annual sales within eight years of commercialization
  • Following registration approval in Great Britain, farmers in more than 55 countries now have access to this powerful fungicide
  • Success reflects Syngenta’s innovation leadership in fungicides and the SDHI mode of action, and in bringing to market products with strong sustainability attributes

BASEL, SWITZERLAND – EQS Newswire – 7 May 2024 – Syngenta Group, one of the world’s largest agricultural technology companies, is extending its leadership in fungicides with the success of its patented ADEPIDYN® technology (trademark for active ingredient: pydiflumetofen). Following its recent registration in Great Britain, farmers in more than 55 countries globally are now able to access this powerful fungicide, with strong sales across continents reflecting farmer demand for effective control of a broad range of crop diseases. The company is on track to achieve one billion US dollars in sales of products containing ADEPIDYN® technology, marking the first time its active ingredient achieves this milestone in only eight years.

“ADEPIDYN® technology is a game-changer for modern agriculture and enables farmers to grow crops more sustainably,” said Ioana Tudor, Global Head of Marketing at Syngenta Crop Protection. “It represents a significant milestone in our efforts to secure high yields with low impact to the planet and is exciting because of its high levels of consistency and effectiveness. We’re very proud that our innovation is delivering such impact.”

Worldwide, farmers lose an estimated 10-23 percent of their crops to fungal diseases each year. An additional 10-20 percent is lost post-harvest. In the top five most important calorie crops – rice, wheat, corn, soybeans and potatoes – fungal infections have been estimated to cause yield losses that could feed at least 600 million people every day for a year.

ADEPIDYN® technology offers a new solution that effectively fights fusarium head blight in wheat, which produces mycotoxins that contaminate harvests and threaten human and animal health. In addition, it offers a step-change in performance against a wide spectrum of other important diseases, such as septoria in wheat and net blotch in barley. ADEPIDYN® technology is registered in more than 100 crops including corn, soybean, peanuts, vegetables, potatoes, grapes, tomatoes and fruit crops.

ADEPIDYN® technology embodies Syngenta’s commitment to sustainable innovation, core to its new Group-wide sustainability priorities announced in April. The effectiveness and long-lasting activity of the technology enable low use rates and potentially fewer sprays especially in leaf spot diseases, while safeguarding beneficial organisms. It is also an important tool for resistance management. The technology works by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme that is essential for fungal respiration, starving the fungi from the energy they need to survive. It is designed to adhere to the plant surface and to penetrate rapidly through the leaf surface – creating a reservoir of active ingredient in the waxy layer of the plant tissue that enables even distribution and long-lasting protection as the plant grows.

The technology further highlights Syngenta’s success with the SDHI (Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor) mode of action and the company’s ability to effectively design active ingredients that address various farmer challenges. Following its first SDHI seed treatment sedaxane, Syngenta launched its SDHI fungicide isopyrazam which transformed farmers’ ability to control sheath blight in rice, and later SOLATENOL® technology to protect crops against septoria and rusts. In Brazil, SOLATENOL® technology is today regarded as crucial in farmers’ fight against soybean pod anomaly – a new fungal disease which spread within just three years to 12 states across the country since it was first identified.

Beyond innovation in research and development, Syngenta’s success is
underpinned by its commitment to invest in cutting-edge manufacturing operations. Strong global demand has fueled investments aimed at increasing the efficiency of manufacturing of ADEPIDYN® technology. These set the foundation for the production of a growing portfolio of formulations containing ADEPIDYN® technology that target specific grower needs in different markets.

The latest Syngenta innovation in the SDHI family is TYMIRIUM® technology, which was launched globally in 2022. In addition to protecting crops against key fungal diseases, TYMIRIUM® technology provides broad-spectrum protection against plant-parasitic nematodes that reduce global crop yield by an estimated 12 percent a year.
