Beijing Language and Culture University branch in Kazakhstan sees flood of applicants


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2024 – As the college entrance examination in Kazakhstan comes to an end, the Kazakhstan branch of Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) is witnessing a continuous flow of inquiries from potential applicants.

Beijing Language and Culture University branch in Kazakhstan sees flood of applicants

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev attended a ceremony in Astana on July 3 to inaugurate the Kazakhstan branch of the BLCU.

This university is the first overseas branch of a Chinese university to offer undergraduate education, jointly established by BLCU and Astana International University.

The BLCU Kazakhstan branch currently offers undergraduate and master’s degree programs, as well as preparatory courses. Students need to take Kazakhstan’s college entrance examination before applying. Those from neighboring countries like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan can also apply based on their college entrance examination scores.

Students with no prior Chinese language knowledge can attend a one-year preparatory course first before officially starting their studies at the BLCU Kazakhstan branch. Upon graduation, they would receive a BLCU diploma and academic records recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education.

“This is very attractive in Kazakhstan and all other Central Asian countries,” said Duan Peng, principle of Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU).

BLCU’s predecessor was the Higher Preparatory School for Foreign Students established in 1962. Over time, it became a base for international students to learn Mandarin, Chinese students to learn foreign languages, and the training of Chinese teachers for overseas assignments.

Tokayev, a sinologist who speaks fluent Chinese language, is a distinguished alumnus of BLCU and studied there for short-term training courses from 1983 to 1984.

“Tokayev loves Chinese food and speaks fluent Chinese. He often cycled in the Wudaokou neighborhood of Beijing, witnessing the improvement in the living standards among Chinese residents and the country’s rise to prosperity, which greatly impressed him,” Duan said.

Duan added that Tokayev has done an excellent job of “endorsing” the BLCU Kazakhstan branch, encouraging young people to learn Chinese and promoting Sino-Kazakh cultural exchanges.

Tokayev is one of many foreign dignitaries nurtured by BLCU. As the only Chinese university named after “language” and dedicated to spreading Chinese language and culture, BLCU is often referred to as “the Mini-United Nations”.

Duan said that BLCU has trained over 300,000 foreign students from 189 countries and regions worldwide, including more than 80 foreign dignitaries at the vice-premier level or above, over 300 ambassadors, as well as Nobel Prize-winning scientists, renowned artists, and sinologists.

Organic7days Announces Launch of New Beary Happy Wholegrain Cookies


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2024 – Organic7days is thrilled to announce the launch of its newest product, Beary Happy Wholegrain Cookies. These cookies are set to revolutionise the market with their unique blend of organic, gluten-free ingredients and superfoods, offering a healthier, more nutritious option for children without compromising on taste.

The Beary Happy Wholegrain Cookies are thoughtfully crafted with the children’s well-being in mind. Made entirely from gluten-free ingredients, these bear-shaped cookies are packed with superfoods, providing naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids, higher protein content, and a good source of fibre. The cookies are available in four flavours: Blueberry and Sweet Potato, Chocolate Spinach, White Parmesan Cheese, and Hazelnut Chocolate. Notably, the White Parmesan Cheese and Hazelnut Chocolate varieties are lower in sugar compared to traditional kids’ cookies, providing a delicious yet healthier snack option.

The launch of Beary Happy Wholegrain Cookies addresses a significant gap in the market. Current cookies for kids are predominantly made with plain wheat flour, offering little nutritional value and often filled with empty calories. Organic7days recognised the demand for a cookie that not only tastes great but also contributes to a child’s nutritional intake. This led to the development of Beary Happy Wholegrain Cookies, providing a snack that parents can feel good about giving to their children.

The inspiration behind Beary Happy Wholegrain Cookies comes from a very personal place. One of the Organic7days team member, a mum to three young children, has always experimented in her home kitchen to create healthier cookies at home. By incorporating superfoods and gluten-free ingredients, Organic7days managed to create a nutritious cookie that even the pickiest eaters approved. Partnering with the Food Innovation and Resource Centre (FIRC), Organic7days has now brought this home-grown innovation to the market.

Organic7days is renowned for its commitment to providing wholesome, nutritionally balanced food and snacks. Specialising in organic baby food, the company offers a diverse range of options from Little Freddie, including baby fruit pouches, purees, and snacks. For those craving Asian-inspired flavours, Deliciously Bib features baby stew and organic baby noodles. Adults can indulge in Recipe with Love’s offerings like organic instant brown rice porridge and gluten-free noodles in Singapore. The company offers their products both in-store and via baby food delivery

With the launch of their Beary Happy Wholegrain Cookies, Organic7days invites all parents to try and experience the perfect harmony of taste and nutrition.

Citi to Take Wealth Management to Next Level with the Market-First Launch of Wealth 360

Entering an Open Banking Era That Fosters a Customer-Centric Banking Landscape Through the IADS Pilot Program


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2024 – Citi Hong Kong today announced the launch of Wealth 360, a pioneering digital wealth management feature on Citi Mobile® App, through the Interbank Account Data Sharing (IADS) pilot program introduced by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). This first-in-market feature gives Citi Mobile® App users real-time access to a range of enhanced wealth management functions, including interbank account overview, monthly cash flow reports, insights into personal spending habits, personalized financial insights, and carbon footprint overview. The feature is now rolling out to selected customer segments and will be gradually expanded to the entire customer base.

The benefits extend far beyond enhancing customer experience, our customers will also be equipped with the tools and insights they need to manage their finances. By fostering transparency and empowering customers, we co-create a more connected and personalized banking ecosystem. Introduced by the HKMA late last year, the IADS pilot program aims to promote digitalization within the banking sector through the sharing of customer account data among banks. Customers will be able to access information of their deposit accounts at other banks such as account status, balances and transaction details – all on one app.

Key Functions of Wealth 360[1]:

  • Interbank Account Overview: Through Application Programming Interface (API), customers will have the option to link their deposit accounts at other banks on the Citi Mobile® App, allowing them to access account details including account availability, status, balance, and transactions.
  • Personal Financial Management: Customers will be able to track their financial status real-time, including an overview of personal expenses that will be grouped into various spending categories.

  • Personalized Financial Insights: Wealth 360 will provide personalized financial insights, such as spending pattern analysis based on customers’ spending habits.

  • Carbon Footprint Overview: Customers can view their own carbon footprint as Wealth 360 will calculate the carbon emissions generated from their card spending, raising their awareness of carbon footprint and green spending and contributing to individual responsibility in environmental protection.

Sarah O, Head of Digital Growth at Citibank Hong Kong, shared, ” By harnessing the transformative power of Open Banking, Wealth 360 empowers our customers to have a holistic overview of their wealth portfolio and take charge of their financial well-being. With that in mind, Citi has been striving to elevate our customers’ digital experience with a more streamlined and personalized digital platform and services that address their needs. This is why we are delighted to be one of the first retail banks in Hong Kong to participate in the IADS pilot program. At the forefront of digital innovation, Citi is also one of the first banks in Hong Kong to have participated in the HKMA’s Open API Framework in 2017, leveraging cross-sector collaboration to provide a wide range of technology-driven banking services. This echoes our proactive approach to driving fintech development as well as ongoing effort in the innovation of digital services to better serve the evolving needs of our customers.”

Carbon Footprint Tracking Feature: Encouraging green spending to combat climate change

Wealth 360 is a new Citi Mobile® App feature that not only offers access to information of accounts at other banks, but also insights into customers’ own carbon footprint, allowing them to view their own carbon emissions generated in different spending categories, covering both credit card transactions and spending activities across savings accounts.

The “Carbon Footprint” displayed on the dashboard is calculated based on customers’ spending amounts and the average carbon emissions associated with each merchant in the respective spending category. Wealth 360 will then assess the potential impact on the climate and to encourage green spending in an effort to combat climate change.

Echoing our Commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Citi strives on assisting clients and stakeholders in their low-carbon transitions. The information on green spending help ensures customers’ needs and living conditions can be maintained without causing social, economic, and environmental disruptions, hence safeguarding our planet for the future generation.


[1] Enhancements to this function will be introduced to all customers in phases.
