Xanh SM Laos embraces the customer-centric approach of its Vietnamese counterpart and pledges to provide eco-friendly transportation services. The company commits to providing customers with 100% pure electric vehicles and 5-star service standards including premium vehicle quality, and a dedicated team of professional drivers that contribute to enhancing the standard of passenger transportation services in the “Land of a Million Elephants”.

Starting from November 9, 2023, residents of Vientiane and international tourists visiting Laos will have a convenient way to book taxi services through the Xanh SM Laos application. This application can be easily downloaded from the App Store and Play Store. In addition, customers will still have the option to hail taxis directly from the streets. Every trip’s route and fare information will be made transparently available to ensure clarity and convenience.

Initially, Xanh SM Laos will employ the VinFast VF 5 Plus electric cars in their signature cyan color for its taxi fleet. Currently, the company is operating primarily in Vientiane Capital. The plan is to increase the fleet to 1,000 vehicles and expand to other popular destinations like the tourism town of Vang Vieng (Vientiane), as well as other provinces and cities such as Luang Prabang, Savannakhet, and Champasak in the coming phases.

Xanh SM Laos is planning to expand its operations throughout the country and is expected to create thousands of new job opportunities for local residents. These opportunities offer attractive career development prospects and come without requiring initial capital investment while providing optimal income and professional training. In particular, Green SM drivers will be oriented to become “green ambassadors” that directly connect the brand with customers and contribute to enhancing Laos’ eco-friendly image.

In addition to providing high-quality, zero-emission transportation services, GSM aims to stimulate the widespread of electric vehicles by developing a green mobility services ecosystem. This includes electric vehicle leases, and advanced services such as package car rental, travel, and personalized car rental. By adopting this holistic approach, GSM works towards leveraging the overall experience of green transportation and making electric mobility accessible to everyone.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh Global CEO of GSM said: Launching Xanh SM Laos is a special milestone that marks the beginning of GSM’s global expansion journey. We will keep exploring and innovating to create a unique fusion of local culture with international service standards that promises to deliver an exceptional experience to local residents as well as international visitors in Laos. The triumphant Xanh SM Laos will be a significant driving force behind GSM’s global expansion. Working alongside VinFast, GSM is determined to push forward eco-friendly mobility worldwide, paving the way for a better and more sustainable future for all.”

In April 2023, GSM was established and launched in Vietnam as the world’s first multi-platform green transportation model. It operates with a fleet of 100% electric vehicles. Within just 6 months of its operation, GSM has experienced extraordinary growth, providing over 6 million rides, and earning high compliments from both ultimate consumers and transportation companies.

GSM is set to expand quickly to other Southeast Asian countries following its success in Laos. The company’s ability to offer its ride-hailing services through multiple platforms – including the app, call center, and on-the-road bookings – provides it with a significant competitive advantage both regionally and internationally. These core competencies will be crucial as GSM pursues its “Go Green Global” strategy, charting a course to become the one of fastest-growing international ride-hailing service providers in the region.

International Donors, Local Officials Unite to Accelerate UXO Removal Efforts in Laos

A mortar shell. ( Photo/MAG UXO Visitor Information Centre, Lao PDR).

International donors and local officials pledged to step up efforts to remove the last bombs in Laos while the unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance operation is still underway.

In a visit to Xieng Khouang Province on 8 November, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Phoxay Khaykhamphithoune led a group of foreign contributors from Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and the United States, to an inspection of clearance-project sites across the region.

The delegation also met with provincial authorities to monitor disposal mechanisms in targeted villages.

Only a few days earlier, in Phaxai district, Xieng Khouang, Lar was having a normal day when she stepped dangerously close to a BLU-26 bomb, the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) UXO Visitor Information Centre reported.

Stories like Lar’s are not uncommon across the province and beyond, where bombs continue to explode half a century after the war ended.

Laos is the world’s most heavily bombed country per capita. With two million tons of cluster bombs dropped on Laos during the second Indochina War (1964-1973), bombs are still on the country’s soil and seriously threatening the lives of people in rural villages.

Xieng Khouang Province has cleared over 18,000 hectares of land and destroyed nearly 600,000 UXO items. Today, 42 million UXO units remain in the area.

However, thanks to continuous efforts from the Lao government and international supporters, the country has witnessed remarkable improvement in UXO clearance over the past decade.

“There have been a number of improvements made in the sector to ensure efficient delivery of land release and risk education across the country,” said Eli Mechanic, Country Director, MAG Laos. 

The sector is also working actively with the National Regulatory Authority to continuously improve standards of operations, according to Eli. In 2022, Laos reached the land clearance target envisaged in the country’s Convention on Cluster Munitions.

Eli believes this success was also possible because of the increase in funding from both private donors and foreign countries, including the US, UK, and Norway.

“Obama pledged to increase funding for the UXO sector in Laos when he visited in September 2016. At the time, he pledged USD 90 million over a 3-year period, which was double what the sector was receiving in 2015,” he said.

In Laos, clearance is done manually using a systematic approach to ensure every inch of land is covered, Eli explained to The Laotian Times. Lanes are marked on the ground with ropes, and metal detectors are used to find unexploded bombs hidden beneath the surface. 

“It is a slow process, as all signals from the detector must be carefully investigated and all items safely demolished at the end of the working day,” he said.

However, the nation is prepared to advance in its efforts to get rid of UXOs thanks to consistent cooperation between the government, local communities, and international players.

Singapore’s National Pavilion at Frankfurt Book Fair Attracted Book Browsers and Visitors Interested in Connecting with Singapore Businesses

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 9 November 2023 – At the Frankfurt Book Fair, held from 18 to 22 October 2023, the Singapore Book Publishers Association (SBPA) presented a National Pavilion titled “Small Island, Big Reads”, supported by the National Arts Council (NAC). Over 200 local books were featured at the Pavilion, covering the four national languages and including a variety of genres.

The Singapore Pavilion attracted hundreds of book browsers and visitors interested in connecting with Singapore businesses. There were also almost 200 visitors to the national reception which was hosted by the Guest-of-Honour, Ambassador Lee Chong Hock from the Singapore Embassy in Berlin. The 75th Frankfurt Book Fair attracted 105,000 business visitors from 130 countries and 110,000 public participants. There were over 4,000 exhibitors from 95 countries which presented their products and services at the Fair.

Christine Chong, International Book Fairs Lead of the SBPA, said: “There was encouraging interest in Southeast Asian literature, especially works on diasporic experience, local social politics, history and environmental themes. The visitors at the Singapore Pavilion were interested to learn more about Singapore, especially a side of it that is different from common media perceptions. We are also pleased that visitors were keen to buy the books on display”.

Overall, the delegation had a positive experience with the pavilion – both for a sense of belonging with fellow national publishers and for access to potential partners at the Fair. Delegates found that the Fair’s matchmaking platforms and physical meetings enabled them to make many more connections and discussions with international contacts than they would have otherwise.

Difference Engine, a local English-language comics publishing house who recently won Book of the Year at the 2023 Singapore Book Awards, signed a world distribution deal at the Fair with Diamond Book & Comic Distributors, a well-known American distributor. Through this deal, Difference Engine’s works will be available on international platforms starting in 2024.

Felicia Low-Jimenez, publisher and co-founder of Difference Engine and also co-author of the bestselling kids’ series Sherlock Sam, was one of the Pavilion’s delegates. She said: “The Frankfurt Book Fair enables people to see the diversity of the international publishing industry. It is also an opportunity for participants to understand industry trends and for booksellers to make the necessary connections”.

Besides the literary publishers, Singaporean companies at the Frankfurt Book Fair included educational publishers, printers, distributors, and others from all sectors of the industry.

“The Frankfurt Book Fair is the largest gathering of publishers, editors and rights agents from around the world, and is a great place to not only promote Singaporean literature but strengthen our connections and find opportunities with fellow Southeast Asian publishers”, added Mr Edmund Wee, President of the SBPA.
