President’s Son Thongly Sisoulith Appointed Youth Union Secretary

Thongly Sisoulith, son of Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith, became Secretary of the Central Committee of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Youth Union (LPRYU) on 26 August.

The Union announced the appointment at its meeting, where Vice President Bounthong Chitmany attended. Thongly succeeds Monexay Laomouaxiong, who previously held the post. 

Suliya Keophilavong, Meena Sivilay, and Pany Kindavong also joined the team as deputy secretaries of the Central Committee.

During the meeting, the participants endorsed the 2026-2030 youth development plan, which sets a framework for young people to engage more actively in national initiatives and contribute to Laos’s social and economic development. The plan builds on the achievements and lessons of the past five years.

Thongly has previously served as Deputy Secretary of the LPRYU. His father, Thongloun, has led Laos as President and the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party as General Secretary since 2021, after serving as Prime Minister for the previous five years, and he continues to play a central role in government and diplomacy.

The appointment comes amid major political shifts in Laos. 

In June, the National Assembly approved constitutional amendments aimed at modernizing governance by decentralizing power to local committees and revising administrative roles. 

The reforms, effective in July 2025, were accompanied by a sweeping government reshuffle that reduced ministries from 17 to 13, reassigned or replaced nine ministers, and merged key portfolios such as Planning and Investment with Finance.

These changes reflect broader efforts to streamline governance and prepare the country for parliamentary elections scheduled for February 2026.

The event features more than 55 in-depth sessions and groundbreaking technology showcases dedicated to the HORECA industry (Hotels – Restaurants – Catering Services).

Organized by HorecFex Vietnam and the Vietnam Hotel Association, this year’s event attracts more than 3,500 participants, including leaders from government agencies, international experts, associations, investors, and over 500 leading enterprises. With this scale and impact, HorecFex Vietnam 2025 reaffirms its position as a premier annual forum for updating the latest trends and technological solutions in the HORECA sector.

HorecFex Vietnam 2025 also carries strategic significance for Da Nang. The event not only enhances the city’s image as a leading tourism destination in the region, but also reinforces its role as the central hub of Central Vietnam, balancing the leadership of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in the tourism sector. Furthermore, it provides a foundation for addressing sustainable management and operational challenges as the city expands following administrative mergers.

The opening ceremony was attended by senior government officials and industry leaders, including Mr. Luong Nguyen Minh Triet – Chairman of Da Nang City People’s Committee; Mr. Nguyen Trung Khanh – Chairman of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT); Mr. Tan Van Vuong – Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; along with representatives of various departments, agencies, and provinces nationwide.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Quynh, Founder of HorecFex Vietnam, shared:
“HorecFex enters its second year with the goal of becoming a prominent annual event for Vietnam’s and the region’s Tourism – Hospitality industry. We are proud of the quality of this year’s forums, gathering more than 90 speakers and guests from 20 countries, including first-time voices in Vietnam from the US and Australia, as well as many leading international experts. Notably, 40% of the speakers are foreign experts and 40% are women – clear evidence of the diversity and inclusivity we pursue. Under the theme ‘The Way Forward,’ HorecFex 2025 not only affirms its role in connecting knowledge but also opens new pathways for the future of the industry. This strong attention also lays the foundation for us to start building the 2026 program with even more innovative and exciting content.”

HorecFex Vietnam 2025 also makes its mark with the largest-ever HORECA technology exhibition in Vietnam, showcasing solutions and equipment worth VND 42 billion (USD 1.7 million). This figure not only reflects significant investment but also highlights the organizers’ commitment to bringing the most advanced management and operational solutions closer to businesses.

Delivering the keynote, Mr. Nguyen Trung Khanh – Chairman of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), stated:
“According to the 2024 Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI), Vietnam ranked 59th among 199 countries and territories. This result reflects remarkable efforts, yet also underscores critical tasks ahead: investing in tourism development, improving infrastructure, accelerating digital transformation, and applying science and technology. With the participation of leading domestic and international speakers and enterprises, HorecFex Vietnam 2025 will serve as a platform for connection, experience-sharing, and practical solutions to enhance competitiveness and drive Vietnam’s tourism breakthrough in a new era.”

Ms. Do Thi Hong Xoan – Chairwoman of the Vietnam Hotel Association, emphasized:
“Vietnamese tourism is entering a period of strong transformation. In the first six months alone, Vietnam welcomed 10.6 million international visitors (up 20.7% compared to the same period in 2024), served 77.5 million domestic travelers, and achieved total tourism revenue of VND 518 trillion. However, the tourism and hospitality industry is also entering a ‘new race’—requiring innovative thinking, flexible strategies, and decisive actions more than ever. At HorecFex this year, three pillars for Vietnam’s hospitality sector are clearly being defined for the coming period: (1) Technology – comprehensive digital transformation. (2) Sustainability tied to responsible tourism. (3) Redefining customer experience.”

Representing the host city, Mr. Luong Nguyen Minh Triet – Chairman of Da Nang City People’s Committee, expressed:
Da Nang holds outstanding advantages in tourism resources and modern infrastructure. The city also leads the nation in the number of 4- and 5-star hotels, with many top international hotel management brands. However, to fully unlock development potential and create sustainable value, we need innovation, creativity, and close collaboration among many stakeholders—including state agencies, businesses, and technical partners from both domestic and international organizations. I believe HorecFex Vietnam 2025 is an excellent opportunity to connect, share experiences, and jointly develop breakthrough, strategic solutions to elevate service quality in the industry.”

Being chosen as the host city, Da Nang further consolidates its position as a leading conference and exhibition destination in the region. The event provides a platform for policymakers, businesses, and cross-sector experts in Hospitality, Restaurants, Catering, and Technology to exchange insights, while enhancing Da Nang’s competitiveness against other Asian destinations in an era of constant technological innovation.

As 2025 marks the final year of Vietnam’s 2021–2025 Socio-Economic Development Plan, HorecFex Vietnam is considered not only an industry-specific forum but also a practical bridge connecting enterprises, policymakers, and international experts. The event contributes to tourism growth goals, fosters innovation, and enhances service quality and visitor experiences through the adoption of the latest solutions and technology trends.

Alongside the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in promoting Vietnam’s tourism and maximizing the peak travel season, HorecFex Vietnam 2025 stands as a testament to practical collaboration and a driver of sustainable tourism development, making a positive contribution to Vietnam’s socio-economic growth.

Tanoto Foundation Develops Impactful Future Leaders at Tanoto Scholars Gathering 2025

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 August 2025 – High unemployment among educated youth and a lack of leadership readiness are significant challenges on Indonesia’s path to its “Golden Indonesia 2045” vision. Data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) in February 2025 indicated a national open unemployment rate of 4.76%, with 7.28 million people unemployed. Alarmingly, the unemployment rate for university graduates is even higher at 5.25%. This gap highlights that academic qualifications alone are insufficient for the demands of the modern workforce and future leadership roles.

To address this, graduates need to have not only technical competence but also strong soft skills, leadership abilities, a collaborative spirit and robust social awareness, especially in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world.

Tanoto Foundation, an independent philanthropic organisation that catalyses systems change in education and healthcare founded by Sukanto Tanoto and Tinah Bingei Tanoto in 1981, is committed to nurturing university graduates to become impactful future leaders through its flagship TELADAN (Transforming Education to Produce Future Leaders) Programme. The TELADAN Programme provides scholarships to undergraduate students from 10 partner universities in Indonesia. What distinguishes the TELADAN Programme is its structured leadership training provided to its recipients, known as Tanoto Scholars, from their second to eighth semesters to enhance their leadership and soft skills.

Tanoto Scholars Gathering 2025: To Learn and To Lead
A key component of the TELADAN Programme is the Tanoto Scholars Gathering (TSG), an annual forum that brings together Tanoto Scholars from across Indonesia to learn, network and strengthen their leadership capabilities. This year’s TSG was held from July 24 – 26, 2025 at the RAPP Complex in Pangkalan Kerinci, Riau. The event was attended by 291 Tanoto Scholars from 10 partner universities: IPB University, Diponegoro University, Gadjah Mada University, Brawijaya University, Universitas Indonesia, University of North Sumatra, Bandung Institute of Technology, Hasanuddin University, Mulawarman University, Riau University, and Andalas University. Through the theme, “Learn & Lead: Becoming the Champion of Good”, Tanoto Scholars were encouraged to embody impactful and sustainable leadership.

Benny Lee, CEO of Tanoto Foundation, stated that the TSG aims to shape scholars into role models. “The core value we instil is that every Tanoto Scholar must be a role model for doing good. This philosophy of creating a positive impact is a legacy from our founders, Mr. Sukanto Tanoto and Mrs. Tinah Bingei Tanoto,” he said at the opening ceremony. “As future leaders, Tanoto Scholars must not only be examples but also lead others to do good. They have a responsibility to bring progress to society.”

Eduward Ginting, Chief Operating Officer of RAPP, who also opened the event, urged the scholars to become impactful leaders. “You are champions selected through a rigorous process. As chosen students, you must create an impact not only in your immediate surroundings but also on a broader scale for Indonesia,” said Eduward.

During her session at the start of TSG 2025, Veronica Tan, Deputy Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, emphasised the importance of a positive mindset. “You must feed yourselves with things that build you up. Surround yourselves with a positive environment and supportive people,” she advised. “Intellect is important, but conscience is even more so. A sharp mind without a good character is useless. Therefore, be leaders with a conscience who bring positive impact to others”.

In his session, Professor Brian Yuliarto, Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, called the university years a “golden time” for building networks, character and life vision. He shared 12 characters for success, including strong desire, self-belief, specialised knowledge, imagination and persistence. “We need smart people who produce breakthroughs that change the quality of life for society. They must be not just competent, but also relevant and contributive,” he concluded.

Adding another perspective, Angkie Yudistia, CEO of Thisable Enterprise, shared her inspiring journey of creating opportunities amid challenges. She recounted how losing her hearing at a young age motivated her to rise up and become a sociopreneur. Angkie urged the scholars to become future leaders who possess empathy, self-awareness and a strong commitment to equality and collaboration.

The TSG 2025 activities were designed to be immersive. Scholars participated in an industrial visit to a business group of the Royal Golden Eagle (RGE) – also founded by Sukanto Tanoto – to learn firsthand how a sustainable business is built and developed. They also engaged in an experiential leadership workshop and outbound activities to hone their teamwork, quick decision-making, and problem-solving skills. The overall goal is to equip Tanoto Scholars with relevant soft skills and a leadership mindset, preparing them to create a positive impact in any field they enter.

A Model for Leadership Development: The TELADAN Programme
Demonstrating its ongoing commitment, Tanoto Foundation’s TELADAN Programme offers a holistic leadership development model for students at its partner universities in Indonesia. This comprehensive scholarship goes beyond financial aid by providing structured training to build critical soft skills. The programme also provides support for its scholars to participate in international competitions, internships, and research projects.

Upon graduation, scholars join the global Tanoto Foundation alumni network, which spans across Indonesia and the world. Since 2006, the foundation’s scholarship programmes have benefited 8,559 students as of 2024.
