BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 December 2024On December 10, the Beijing Municipal Government Information Office held a press conference for the 2024 Beijing’s Forum on Swift Response to Public Complaints. Scheduled for December 18-19 at the China National Convention Center in Beijing, the forum is themed “Modernizing for People-Centered Urban Governance.” The event aims to create a platform for exchange and mutual learning, inviting experts from the theoretical community both domestically and internationally, alongside leaders from central government departments, representatives from various regions, and grassroots workers to jointly explore the direction and path of modern urban governance.

Since 2019, Beijing has adhered to the principle of putting people at the center of its development philosophy, exploring a model of “Immediate Response” reform led by Party building, centered around the Citizen Service Hotline 12345—a platform that has innovated practices for modernizing the governance of megacities.

Mr. Shen Binhua, Deputy Secretary-General of the Beijing Municipal Government and Party Secretary and Director of the Beijing Municipal Administration of Government Services and Data Management, introduced at the press conference that the “Immediate Response” Reform has been ongoing for six years, during which a large number of urgent, difficult, and worrying issues raised by the public have been efficiently resolved. Over the past six years, the hotline has received 150 million requests from citizens and businesses, with the resolution rate increasing from an initial 53% to the present 97%, and satisfaction rate rising from 65% to 97%. This progress has significantly enhanced the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security. The swift handling of citizen requests not only resolves key “small matters” close to the people but also addresses the “big challenges” of urban governance.

The forum will feature an opening ceremony, main sessions, six parallel forums, supporting activities, and a closing ceremony. It is expected to attract over 3,100 participants, including more than 160 international guests from over 40 countries, as well as leaders from central units, municipal and Party officials from cities such as Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, renowned scholars from universities like Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, and representatives from grassroots levels, citizens, and enterprises. During the forum, guests will also visit “Experience 12345,” experiencing the “Immediate Response” process in an immersive manner and feeling the warmth of “Beijing Service.”

A series of research outcomes on “Immediate Response” reform will be released during this session. Research teams from institutions like the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, Tsinghua University, among others, will present analyses on theoretical innovation and practical reform in Chinese urban governance, enhancement of grassroots governance efficiency, and digital intelligence development. Furthermore, the forum will share 11 research outcomes presented in English, offering international participants insights into “Chinese Governance” practices.

Based on the discussion outcomes of the forum and incorporating international consensus, the “Beijing Declaration 2024 on the Modernization of Urban Governance” will be issued, contributing wisdom to building a global community of shared future for cities.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 December 2024 V-GREEN and Prime Group, a diversified conglomerate, through its UAE subsidiary, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a network of charging stations for VinFast electric vehicles in Indonesia. This MoU does not only signify a major step forward for V-GREEN in its global mission to expand the VinFast EV charging infrastructure, but also underscores the confidence of prominent international companies in V-GREEN and VinFast’s commitment to sustainable transportation.

This MoU reflects the mutual intent of both parties to engage in detailed discussions to explore and develop cooperation in building charging stations in Indonesia. The two companies envision the development of approximately 100,000 VinFast charging stations in Indonesia over the next three years, with a projected total investment of up to 1.2 billion USD.

V-GREEN will initially prioritize the development of VinFast charging stations in Jakarta, Surabaya, Bali, and surrounding areas, with plans to expand to other regions of Indonesia in subsequent phases. With an increasing adoption of electric vehicle, these regions are a strategic focus for V-GREEN’s expansion in the Indonesian market, leveraging VinFast’s diverse range of urban electric vehicles.

The development of the charging stations will commence in January 2025, with a number of stations expected to be operational within the year.

Leveraging its strong financial potential and global network of partners, Prime Group, a diversified conglomerate with operations across the Middle East and Africa, is responsible for arranging fundings to develop the VinFast EV charging infrastructure.

Meanwhile, V-GREEN will proactively research the market, identify strategic locations, and build and operate a network of charging stations to meet the growing demand of electric vehicle users in Indonesia.

Mr. Tamer Wagih Salem, Chairman of Prime Group shared: “Leveraging our expertise across various industries, we are proud to partner with V-GREEN to capitalize on the immense potential of Indonesia’s green transportation sector as one of Southeast Asia’s most promising markets. We are confident that this collaboration, fueled by V-GREEN’s strong reputation and execution capabilities, will not only benefit both companies but also significantly contribute to the growth of Southeast Asia’s electric vehicle market. This partnership with V-GREEN will take us to explore more opportunities globally, starting with Indonesia then expanding to the Middle East, Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. Together, we will create exceptional value for society and the global community.”

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Duong, CEO of V-GREEN shared: “Partnering with a strategic Middle Eastern partner opens up exciting new opportunities for V-GREEN to expand our global electric vehicle charging network. Together, we will create a comprehensive electric vehicle ecosystem, reducing environmental impact and enhancing quality of life. This collaboration will yield significant benefits for both our companies, consumers, and the community. Together with VinFast and GSM, we will strongly promote the “For a Green Future” campaign in Indonesia.”

V-GREEN was founded by VinFast’s Founder, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong, with a 90% stake. Separated from VinFast’s charging station development department, V-GREEN is dedicated to investing in the entire electric vehicle infrastructure. This aligns with the company’s mission to foster a green ecosystem and accelerate the electric transportation revolution.

The MoU with Prime Group marks a pivotal moment for V-GREEN as a key partner in VinFast’s global expansion. By developing a robust charging infrastructure, V-GREEN is paving the way for VinFast to successfully penetrate the dynamic Indonesian market.

Since its official launch in Indonesia, VinFast has delivered two EV models, the VF e34 and VF 5. The company is actively expanding its dealer network, implementing attractive sales policies, and has broken ground on an assembly plant in Subang, West Java to enhance its global production capacity.
