Lao President and Party General Secretary Thongloun Sisoulith met Chinese President and Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping in Beijing on 5 June.

At the Great Hall of the People, the presidents reaffirmed the two countries’ strategic partnership and oversaw the signing of 32 cooperation agreements on trade, investment, agriculture, energy and human resource development. The meeting is part of Thongloun’s state visit to China from 2 to 6 June.

According to the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two leaders discussed the future direction of bilateral relations and pledged to accelerate implementation of the master plan for building a stronger Laos-China community.

Thongloun thanked Xi and the Chinese leadership for the warm reception extended to the Lao delegation during visits to Beijing and Zhejiang Province, describing the visit as a reflection of the countries’ long-standing comprehensive strategic partnership under the “Four Good Principles” of friendship.

He praised China’s economic and social development achievements under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and said Laos viewed China’s development experience as a valuable reference for its own modernization efforts.

The Lao leader also expressed appreciation for China’s historical support during Laos’ struggle for national independence and for ongoing assistance to national development projects.

Following the meeting, the two sides issued a joint declaration on building a stronger Laos-China partnership of shared future in all circumstances.

Thongloun also invited Xi to visit Laos. Xi accepted the invitation and said he would visit at an appropriate time.

The China trip marks the latest high-level exchange between the two countries, whose relations have deepened significantly in recent years following the launch of the Laos-China Railway in 2021. The visit comes less than a year after Thongloun traveled to China in September 2025, when he met Xi Jinping in Beijing and both sides pledged to advance a new five-year action plan for building a Laos-China community with a shared future.

During the current visit, Thongloun also traveled to Zhejiang Province, where he met provincial leaders and visited technology companies including Alibaba Group and robotics manufacturer Hangzhou Yunshen Technology. Lao officials said the visit highlighted opportunities for expanded investment in tourism, agricultural processing, digital technology and other sectors linked to Laos’ economic development goals.

“At Toyota, sport is a reflection of the human experience — the hope, the doubt, the dignity in defeat and the joy of moving forward together.

Across Asia, our seven Global Team Toyota Athletes embody that spirit, and it is our privilege to stand beside these athletes that continue to inspire and demonstrate how far dedication and courage can take them, both in competition and beyond.

Their journeys highlight the power of sport and its ability to open up new possibilities. Through Move Your World, we aim to support their ambitions in the lead-up to Aichi-Nagoya 2026, and to work alongside them in creating lasting impact in the communities that shaped them.” — Preston Tan, Vice President, Toyota Motor Asia

Dual Hero Projects: Turning Athlete Journeys into Community Impact

As part of the long-standing partnership with athletes in Asia, Toyota continues to drive positive impact through its Dual Hero Projects. Launched in 2018, the initiative pairs each athlete with a Toyota-supported project tied to a cause they care deeply about – extending their impact beyond competition and into the communities that shaped them. Since its inception, the programme has supported over 20 athlete-led initiatives across the region. 

In Singapore, Paralympic swimmer Toh Wei Soong co-created a 16-piece adaptive fashion collection that challenges perceptions of disability through inclusive design. In the Philippines, Paralympic champion Ernie Gawilan led a nationwide coastal cleanup and mangrove restoration initiative, mobilizing more than 1,300 volunteers across 33 sites and planting over 10,000 mangroves – restoring the very waters that accompanied his journey as an athlete. 

Similar Dual Hero Projects will be developed with each Asia GTTA across the span of our partnership with them.

Sport at the heart of Move Your World

As preparations for Aichi-Nagoya 2026 begin, Toyota’s expanded Asia athlete line-up brings together athletes who are not only striving for sporting excellence but also working to move their communities forward. Through sport, advocacy and local action, their journeys reflect the spirit of Move Your World – a belief that movement is most powerful when it opens doors for others.

Eratrectinib, the next-generation TRK inhibitor independently developed by Vcare PharmaTech, has received marketing approval

NANJING, China, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NTRK gene fusions have been identified as oncogenic drivers in adult and pediatric patients with pan-solid tumors. A fusion gene is typically formed by the combination of an NTRK gene containing a kinase domain and its fusion partner gene. To date, more than 229 fusion partner genes have been discovered, giving rise to 358 unique fusion-tumor pairings. Patients harboring such fusions generally have a poor prognosis. For advanced solid tumor patients who do not receive targeted therapy, the median overall survival ranges from 10.2 to 12.7 months, and these patients are also at a higher risk of brain metastasis. Meanwhile, the loss of the extracellular domain in NTRK fusions renders antibody-based therapies ineffective. Currently, treatment primarily relies on small-molecule TRK inhibitors that target the kinase domain.1-3

In terms of tumor type distribution, NTRK fusions are characterized by rare mutations with broad tumor spectrum distribution. On one hand, the incidence of NTRK fusions reaches up to 90% in rare malignancies such as secretory breast carcinoma and infantile fibrosarcoma, and ranges from 5% to 25% in papillary thyroid carcinoma and Spitzoid melanoma. On the other hand, real-world data from approximately 295,000 solid tumor patients worldwide indicate that NTRK fusion-positive cases account for a larger absolute number of patients among common cancer types. Collectively, NTRK fusion-positive patients with non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, soft tissue sarcoma and colorectal cancer make up nearly 50% of all affected cases, representing the key population requiring close clinical attention. In addition, the prevalence of NTRK fusions is higher in East Asian populations, with an overall incidence of approximately 0.4% among Chinese patients. It is estimated that more than 15,000 new cases of NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors are diagnosed in China each year.4-5

Breaking News: Domestic Next-Generation Tumor-Agnostic Targeted Drug Eratrectinib Approved

On June 4, the official website of the NMPA announced that Vcare PharmaTech’s Class 1 new drug, Eratrectinib, has been approved for marketing in China. It is indicated for adult and adolescent patients with advanced solid tumors harboring NTRK gene fusions.

Efficacy Breakthrough: Eratrectinib Delivers Comprehensive Clinical Benefits

Eratrectinib is a next-generation TRK inhibitor independently developed by Jiangsu Vcare PharmaTech Co.,Ltd.. In pivotal registration clinical trials for patients with NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors, this pan-tumor anticancer agent has demonstrated outstanding efficacy and safety.

Registration study results showed an ORR of 68.5% and a DCR of 85.2%. Among patients followed up for more than 6 months, the ORR reached 89.7% and the DCR was 100%, with a mOS of 40.7 months.6

In terms of long-term clinical benefits, Eratrectinib also achieved impressive results in PFS and DOR. The 2-year PFS rate stood at 75.7% and the 2-year DOR rate hit 85.5%, fully proving that the drug can deliver sustained disease control and long-term remission for patients.

Furthermore, for patients with baseline brain metastases, the ORR was as high as 87.5%. For patients previously treated with TRK-TKIs, the ORR reached 47.4%, reflecting robust therapeutic efficacy across these patient groups.

New Hope for Patients with NTRK Fusion Resistance

As a next-generation TRK inhibitor independently developed in China, Eratrectinib delivers durable and deep tumor remission, with potent brain penetration and a favorable overall safety profile. Different from the linear structure of first-generation TRK inhibitors, Eratrectinib features a cyclic molecular structure. Structural optimization reduces off-target risks and effectively prevents the emergence of drug-resistant mutations, endowing the agent with the anti-resistance mechanisms characteristic of second-generation TRK inhibitors.

While in Tashkent (June 3-5), Mr Lee met with local leaders, government officials and business representatives to deepen co-operation between Hong Kong and Uzbekistan in areas including trade, investment, finance, I&T, and people-to-people exchanges.

Mr Lee held meetings with the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, his Advisor on Strategic Development, Sardor Umurzakov, the Prime Minister, Abdulla Nigmatovich Aripov, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister, Jamshid Khodjayev, to exchange views on furthering mutual co-operation.

Mr Lee highlighted that under the “one country, two systems” principle, Hong Kong enjoys both the China advantage and the global advantage. He said that Hong Kong would continue to play its roles as a “super connector” and a “super value-adder” to further deepen co-operation and exchanges with Uzbekistan on various fronts in line with Uzbekistan’s goal of achieving high-quality development.

“Moreover, we are glad to have initialed the Air Services Agreement with Uzbekistan, and look forward to launching direct passenger flights between the two places soon,” Mr Lee said, during a high-level business dinner (June 4). The Chief Executive pointed out that Hong Kong and Uzbekistan are important trade and investment gateways to their respective regions – the Asia-Pacific and Central Asia.

“It helps that we are all believers in the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, a modern expression of the ancient Silk Road spirit,” Mr Lee said. “Today, China is Uzbekistan’s largest trading partner, and the two countries work closely on major infrastructure and connectivity projects that are revitalising the Silk Road. Hong Kong is a pivotal player in the B&R Initiative, thanks to our world-class professional and financial services expertise.”

The delegation also toured the IT Park Uzbekistan and the Center for Islamic Civilization before concluding its visit in Tashkent.
