Laos Launches Disability-Inclusive Early Warning Workshop to Strengthen Climate Resilience

A two-day workshop on Disability-inclusive early warning messaging is starting today in Vientiane.

The host is the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) in collaboration with the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare’s Department of Social Welfare.

Laos is increasingly affected by hydro-meteorological hazards, such as storms, floods, droughts and heatwaves, intensified by climate change.

Last year’s deadly floods that hit Luang Namtha made it evident that the country needs to ensure that early warning messages are accessible to everyone, including persons with disabilities.

This is vital for safeguarding communities, but also for enhancing the resilience and capacity of the state to protect its citizens.

The workshop results from a recommendation of the Early Warning Systems Perception Survey report, which calls for more inclusive and accessible warning systems that use multiple communication channels and prioritize reaching the most vulnerable.

The survey revealed that many persons with disabilities in Laos face serious challenges in receiving, understanding, and acting on early warning messages. These gaps in communication not only endanger individuals but also weaken the ability of entire communities to respond effectively to emergencies.

“At the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, we are committed to making our forecasts and warnings more inclusive and accessible. We recognize that persons with disabilities face additional challenges during disasters, and we must work together with all partners to ensure no one is left behind. This workshop is a valuable opportunity to listen, learn, and strengthen our early warning services by including the voices and experiences of persons with disabilities,” said Bounteum Sysouphanthavong, the department’s Deputy Director General.

The workshop supports Laos’s commitment to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It also contributes to Laos’s Early Warnings for All Roadmap, which aims to build truly inclusive and people-centered early warning systems by 2027.

“When all actors understand the specific barriers faced by persons with different types of disabilities, appropriate communication tools and technologies can be used to reach all of society during emergencies,” said Vingthong Chanthavong, Operations Manager at Disability Mainstreaming Advisory Service.

Naoki Maegawa, WFP Deputy Country Director and Representative a.i. said, “As the largest humanitarian agency globally, WFP is committed to ensuring that no one is left behind – especially during times of crisis. In Lao PDR, we are helping the Government build systems that manage the risks of a changing climate and other shocks, with a focus on equal access to timely, clear, and actionable information that can save lives. This workshop is testimony to a collaborative effort towards inclusive action in emergencies.”

Isan Creative Festival 2025 Transforms Regional Pride into Economic Power

Get Ready for Unmissable Program Highlights!


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2025 – In an era where creativity is the driving force behind economic and social development, the presence of a regional creative festival in Isan — the Northeast region of Thailand — is more essential than ever. It goes beyond art, culture, and innovation; it serves as a vital platform that inspires Isan natives who have moved to larger cities to return home, applying their potential, knowledge, and experience to uplift their hometowns.

ISANCF2025 (1)

Isan Creative Festival 2025 (ISANCF2025) — now in its fifth year — is organized by the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization), or CEA. The festival opens its doors to those ready to reshape Isan, offering a space for idea exchange, thought-provoking dialogue, and real-world implementation of bold projects across art, music, film, design, technology, crafts, food, community, and business.

This year’s theme, “ISAN SOUL PROUD,” celebrates the region’s cultural identity and will run for nine days, from 28 June to 6 July 2025 in Khon Kaen. The festival embodies the spirit of local pride and supports sustainable urban development by unlocking the full potential of the people of Isan.

Why Must the Isan Festival Be Creative?: Igniting Nationwide Inspiration

ISANCF2025 is not just a showcase of creativity — it’s a launchpad for creative business opportunities and a thriving ecosystem of innovation. It encourages Isan natives and creatives across Thailand to return, reimagine, and revitalize their hometowns. It also aims to redefine perceptions of Isan by showcasing pride in the region’s identity — not as a place in need, but rather a creative stage of the future, rich with potential and poised to become a vibrant hub of economic opportunity, culture, and creativity.

This year’s festival highlights the richness of the Isan region across its natural resources, way of life, culinary heritage, and traditional culture. These unique identities are being reimagined and communicated in new ways, giving rise to “creative businesses” that generate local income and inspire a new generation to return home and redefine Isan’s image.

Three Creative Industries × Must-See Programs in ISANCF2025

ISANCF2025 (2)

The festival spotlights three key creative industries: Food, Entertainment & Content, and Craft, Art & Design, with curated programs that turn culture into opportunity.

1) Food Industry: From ‘Larb, Koi, and Pla Ra’ to a Bold Culinary Economy

Isan food is more than just flavor — it is a heritage and wisdom passed down through generations. This year’s festival invites everyone to experience:

  • Larb Koi Universe: An exhibition showcasing two iconic Isan dishes, Larb’ and ‘Koi,’ as cultural DNA reflecting the essence of Isan people. It also explores fusion food trends, branding opportunities, and new food cultures.
  • NEXT STATION ‘Pla Ra’: An interactive talk exploring ‘Pla Ra’ (traditional Thai fermented fish) not merely as food, but as a cultural symbol and economic asset. The session will pave the way for the establishment of a ‘Pla Ra Institute’ and showcase dishes that highlight Isan’s soft power.
  • Creative Wisdom Talk: A thought-leadership seminar designed to empower creative entrepreneurs with business insights. This activity equips creative entrepreneurs with strategies for success, featuring topics like “Michelin-Starred Business for Isan Cuisine” by Nay-Witchupol Charoensupaya from NAWA (a 1-Michelin Star restaurant) and “Customer-Centric Mindset” by Jo-Thana Thienachariya, Dean of H.O.W., among others

2) Entertainment & Content Industry: The Energetic and Joyful Stage

The sounds of the khaen, morlam, and local music will revive traditional Isan music with fresh vigor to empower regional music creators:

  • ISAN Music Talent: A vibrant intergenerational stage that brings together both seasoned and up-and-coming Isan musicians. This platform offers opportunities for emerging artists to showcase their talent and connect with broader audiences throughout the festival.
  • Local Voice Panel (Hosted by Thai PBS): An authentic platform that reflects the voices of the local communities, this panel delves into the future of local music businesses and community-based music commerce. It will also explore the evolving landscape of homegrown music distribution and the sustainable growth of Isan’s musical ecosystem.
  • ISAN Cinema House: A creative initiative transforms communities into “film knowledge incubation centers,” to support the work of Isan filmmakers and directors through the “Doc Club & Pub” Isan model. It focuses on building a film community and nurturing the film industry in Isan.
  • Content Lab 2025: Newcomers: A career-oriented session featuring insights from Thai Film and Series industry invites filmmakers and those interested in behind-the-scenes work to exchange perspectives on the industry, such as Pimpaka Towira (producer, film director, international film festival organizer), Aticha Tanthanawigrai (film director and screenwriter), and Pairach Khumwan (film and advertising director), etc.

3) Craft, Art & Design Industry: Where Craftsmanship Defines Style and Identity Drives Brands

  • Back to Isan!’ Pavilion [The Answer for Homecomers Is Here]: This exhibition compiles stories of Isan homecomers who are building their futures through branding, creative studios, social initiatives, and small businesses rooted in cultural capital. This showcases how coming home can be a forward-thinking strategy for urban and regional development.
  • ISAN MU-NIVERSE: An exhibition reimagines Isan crafts in a new context linking ‘mutelu’ (belief in superstition) with contemporary design. It harnesses the skills of over 300,000 artisans and a vast community network to position crafts within the mutelu market as a new economic driver.
  • ISAN SOUL PROUD’ Fashion Show: This runway event brings together top Isan designers and AI technology to present a unique fashion experience that blends tradition with innovation, offering a fresh perspective on regional design.
  • ISAN Showcase: Explore a curated selection of distinctive handicrafts, artworks, and design pieces from 30 talented creatives. This showcase highlights the potential in Isan’s craft sector and equips local entrepreneurs stepping into the creative economy. As part of its broader mission, selected participants will have the opportunity to join the ISAN MICE Expo 2025 — an international trade exhibition that serves as a gateway to expanded business opportunities and greater market exposure.
  • ISANCF x KUPPER ART FES 2025: Under the theme “Sky Limitless,” this dynamic art platform invites audiences to discover the depth and diversity of Isan through a wide range of artistic expressions.
  • Creative Market (D-KAK Market): A vibrant marketplace featuring creative talents, artists, and local entrepreneurs. The market is divided into two zones: D-KAK D-Craft, which showcases handcrafted products by local makers and community enterprises, and the Creative Food Market, a culinary hotspot offering regional delicacies. Designed to foster business connections, idea exchange, and new partnerships.

In addition, ISANCF2025 will host the ISAN Creativity and Innovation Summit 2025 — the first international academic forum dedicated to advancing design and innovation in the region. Organized by Khon Kaen University, the Mekong Institute (MI), and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), the summit will take place on 5 – 6 July 2025, at Khon Kaen University Science Park.

Showcasing Opportunities from Isan’s Regional Potential

ISANCF2025 also shines a spotlight on the spatial and cultural potential of Isan across provincial, urban, district, and community levels. The festival underscores Isan’s appeal as a region abundant in lifestyle, investment opportunity, tourism value, and multi-dimensional promise. Four key venues in Khon Kaen have been selected to vividly represent “Isan Style” through the creative lens of local visionaries:

  • TCDC Khon Kaen (Kangsadan District) – A dynamic hub for emerging thinkers and creators, serving as an incubator for ideas and a testbed for creative economy and future lifestyle innovations.
  • Pullman Khon Kaen Hotel – A regional center for conferences, seminars, and cultural festivals in this MICE City, driving significant economic impact across the city.
  • Columbo Creative District – A vibrant craft village where daily life and creativity intertwine. With over 20 various studios, this area is being transformed into a model creative district powered by collective creativity.
  • Sawathi Community – Proudly upholding traditional Isan ways of life, passed down through generations. At its heart is Wat Chai Sri, home to over 100-year-old mural paintings, or ‘Hoop Taem Sinsai.’ This community leverages its cultural capital, lifestyle, and local wisdom to develop learning centers, arts, and traditions, creating new opportunities for the community and accommodating tourists, evolving into the ‘Sawathi Creative Cultural Community Model.’

ISANCF2025 is poised to elevate regional pride and reaffirm Isan’s readiness to become a true “City of Opportunity.” The festival aims to attract the next generations and bolster confidence in the region’s potential on both national and international stages. Join the “ISAN SOUL PROUD” movement and help shape the future through every dimension of culture while supporting the region’s growing business expansion. With more than 200 diverse activities across seven types of programs — Creative Academic Program, Creative Business Platform, Showcase & Exhibition, Talk & Workshop, Event & Entertainment Program, D-KAK Market, and Creative District Project from 28 June to 6 July 2025, in Khon Kaen. ISANCF2025 is proudly set to inspire cultural pride and drive creativity across the region.

About the Isan Creative Festival

Isan Creative Festival (ISANCF) was first launched in 2019 by the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization), or CEA, in collaboration with networks of designers, artists, entrepreneurs, and civil society from across the Isan region. The festival aims to provide a platform for the people of Isan to showcase their creative potential through art, design, music, food, technology, and community-based initiatives, while driving regional urban development through culture. By bridging cultural heritage with the new economy, the festival transforms local wisdom into a sustainable creative economy platform. It has since become one of the region’s leading creative festivals with strong ties to international networks such as World Design Weeks and the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN), supporting the vision of positioning Khon Kaen as a globally recognized Creative City.

About the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization), or CEA

Pangaea Connectivity announced FY2025 Results: Revenue increased 53.8% to HK$2,128,200,000 driven by AI-Optimized Connectivity and Green Energy Technologies


HONG KONG SAR – EQS Newswire – 3 July 2025 – Pangaea Connectivity Technology Limited (“Pangaea” or the “Company“, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group“, stock code: 1473), a key player in the advanced connectivity segment, is pleased to announce its annual results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The Group achieved a historic milestone with record revenue of HK$2,128,200,000, representing a 53.8% year-on-year growth. This exceptional performance underscores the Group’s success of its strategic initiatives and business focus in AI-optimized connectivity, renewable energy technologies, and next-generation wireless solutions, despite persistent global trade challenges.

Three Core Technologies Fueling Growth

The Group’s success stems from three technological pillars: AI-Optimized Optical Connectivity, and High-Power Laser and Next-Gen Wireless Communication. Amid the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC), the Group’s 800G/1.6T Linear-drive Pluggable Optics (LPO) technology solution has emerged as a game-changer. By eliminating power-hungry digital signal processing (DSP) chips found in traditional optical modules, LPO delivers power savings while maintaining ultra-low latency—making it a critical enabler for AI data center upgrades.

The Xi’an Industrial Laser Service Center has developed to be a hub for supporting the innovation in high-power laser processing for solar back-contact (BC) battery manufacturing. Renewable energy technologies are advancing rapidly, particularly in solar BC battery manufacturing where the Group’s high-power laser systems deliver unparalleled processing efficiency and precision working alongside the market existing generation of TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) and N-type technologies. The Group’s early-mover advantage has recognized by leading global energy players. The same high-power laser innovations are also revolutionizing PCB and semiconductor manufacturing through faster, more energy-efficient processing.

In wireless connectivity, the Group’s pioneering WiFi8 products are expected to deliver multi-gigabit speeds, ultra-low latency, and enhanced network efficiency, making it ideal for smart factories, autonomous vehicles, and immersive digital experiences. By collaborating with leading suppliers and end users, the Group aims to be an early adopter and enabler of this transformative standard.

Global Expansion Strengthens Supply Chain Resilience

To navigate geopolitical challenges, the Group has expanded its smart logistics hubs in Wuhan and Shenzhen, enabling faster response times and reduced lead times for critical components. Our 24/7 technical support and maintenance services further strengthen customer trust and satisfaction. Southeast Asia represents a key growth market, with Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam investing heavily in 5G/AI infrastructure, the Group has been engaging with few regional infrastructure developers.

Outlook: Leading at the Nexus of AI and Green Energy

Looking ahead, Pangaea’s commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and supplier/customer collaboration ensures the Group is well-positioned to capitalize on the recent and upcoming trends. The technological expertise of the Gorup in the high-growth sectors – LPO for AI infrastructure, advanced high-power laser applications, and next-gen wireless – well positions the Group for sustainable long-term growth in the evolving tech landscape.

Mr. Fung Yui Kong, Chairman, CEO, and Executive Director of Pangaea Connectivity Technology Limited, said, “Our record performance proves the power of converging AI and green energy technologies, as we enter the 1.6T era for AI infrastructure and the mass adoption of BC solar technology, Pangaea is uniquely positioned to drive sustainable technological transformation.” The chairman emphasized that, “Global AI data center growth has created unprecedented opportunities. We’ve actively advanced AI development, recognizing rising demand for AI-enabled communications devices in data centers and HPC environments. Our products meet AI’s stringent requirements , and are driving innovation. As AI demand surges, our connectivity solutions play a pivotal role. Moving forward, we’ll intensify investment to deliver high-performance, efficient and scalable products, strengthening our market leadership and technological edge.”

Int’l media charmed by “China tour” amid cool summer in Hainan


HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2025 – This summer, journalists and photographers from the United States, Japan, South Korea, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries gathered at China’s Hainan Free Trade Port, experiencing firsthand the vibrant pulse of its industrial development.

For most of the media delegation, this was their first visit to Hainan. At the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, the team explored various medical institutions, gaining insights into the local healthcare landscape, specialized medical policies, and unique wellness programs blending traditional Chinese medicine with Western techniques. As China’s only special medical zone, Lecheng collaborates with more than 180 healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medical device institutions across 20 countries, providing a series of world-class medical and healthcare services. In the first five months of this year, it welcomed more than 180,000 tourists from China, Canada, and Spain.

Hainan’s pristine tropical rainforests and vibrant Li and Miao cultural traditions stand as its most iconic ecological and cultural hallmarks. At Haikou’s Qilou Old Street, Baoting’s Binglanggu Li and Miao Cultural Heritage Park, and Baoting’s Shenyu Island, the media delegation was captivated by dynamic displays and exhibits of UNESCO-recognized intangible cultural heritage—such as the 3,000-year-old Li traditional techniques of spinning, dyeing, weaving, and embroidering—alongside national and provincial treasures like Hainan agarwood, coconut carving, Li pottery, boat-shaped houses, and bamboo pole dancing.

Journalists remarked that witnessing and engaging with these time-honored crafts in person was far more striking than viewing them through photos or videos. Many showed a strong interest in Hainan agarwood, marveling at its historical significance and medicinal properties. After experiencing a Li medical massage, one reporter said that his back pain was finally relieved and that he “should have come to Hainan earlier.”

Beyond its beaches, Hainan offers a wealth of unique summer experiences that reshaped international media’s perceptions: the Taoist healing, the Li long-table banquet, and refreshing forest bath on the Shenyu Island; the tropical coastal skydiving at Skydive Tarhe; the underwater suites and theme park of the Atlantis Sanya; the shopping spree in the International Duty-free Shopping Complex; the island scenery and fishermen culture in the West Island. Each destination offers distinct charms, revealing Hainan’s diverse appeal.

Zhang Hao, deputy director of the Sanya Tourism Board, revealed that in addition to strengthening duty-free shopping, Sanya has also prioritized low-altitude tourism and yachting in recent years. Last year alone, yachts embarked on over 120,000 sea trips, more than 10,000 visitors experienced low-altitude skydiving, and international cruise traffic, including home-port and visiting-port throughput, reached 59,200, placing Sanya among China’s top destinations.

According to the Hainan Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television, and Sports, as China’s only tropical island province and the largest Free Trade Port, Hainan enjoys the best visa-free policy in the country. In 2024, the number of inbound tourists exceeded 1 million, a record high in the past 5 years. The island has designed 10 categories of tourism products (e.g., marine tourism, high-end shopping, and healthcare) and allows ordinary passport holders from 85 countries to land without a visa.
