SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – Platinum Fruits (PTF) showcased its one-stop export capabilities at Asia Fruit Logistica 2025 in Hong Kong, highlighting premium quality Thai fruits delivered with farm-to-table freshness through advanced cold chain logistics. The company simultaneously announced its aggressive up-coming business moves: to finalize a fresh longan export deal in Europe, expand durian exports into northern and northeastern China, and introduce a new ready-to-eat durian sticky rice product line for global markets.
Mr.Natakrit Eamskul, CEO of Platinum Fruits Public Company Limited. Talks with visitors
Currently, Platinum Fruits has a solid export base in more than nine countries and territories in Asia-Pacific, such as China, Indonesia, India, and New Zealand. It also provides integrated logistics services, including cold storage container transport and customs clearance, through its subsidiaries: 888 Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd., 888 Logistic Co., Ltd., Sky Shore Trading Co., Ltd., and Sky Shore Depot Co., Ltd.
“This year, Thai fruits such as durian and longan remained among the top favorites for international buyers. Fresh longan clusters, in particular, have become a rising star in European markets, for instance, the UK and the Netherlands,” said Mr. Natakrit Eamskul, CEO of Platinum Fruits Public Company Limited (PTF).
“With its distinctive flavor and long shelf life, longan overcomes transportation barriers and fills seasonal market gaps, as its harvest period does not overlap with popular imported fruits like cherries. Combined with the rising demand for natural sweet and energy-rich fruits, Thai longan is positioned for significant growth.”
Durian, hailed as the “King of Fruits,” continues to gain strong traction, especially in China, where Thai “Monthong” durians are trusted for their quality and taste. Platinum Fruits is in discussion with the Chinese partners to expand its durian export into the new provinces in northern and northeastern China. Mr. Natakrit noted that the demand for
Thai durian in China remains immense, as many regions have yet to gain access to it. However, he emphasized that quality and food safety standards must remain top priorities to sustain and grow market access.
Beyond fresh produce, Platinum Fruits also introduced a new ready-to-eat product line – Durian with Sticky Rice. The innovation received positive feedback from European buyers, who praised the balance of flavor and aroma, particularly the durian coconut cream blend.
Mr. Natakrit further revealed that the fair paved the way for discussions on potential MOUs for export-import cooperation with several international partners. The company’s strength lies in its comprehensive cold chain logistics, which ensures optimal temperature control throughout the supply chain – from precise loading conditions to continuous refrigerated storage. This enables Platinum Fruits to deliver products that retain their unmatched freshness, safety, and farm-to-table quality, solidifying its reputation among global partners.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – In Shougang Park, a former ironworks site in western Beijing, new technologies from AI to cloud computing and green innovation are on display amid the rusty blast furnaces and steel relics.
The 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), featuring digital innovation and intelligent technologies, is underway in the park, gathering nearly 2,000 enterprises, including Global Fortune 500 companies and leading industrial enterprises in search of new cooperation opportunities in China.

Global exhibitors and business leaders are optimistic about the growth and future of China’s international services trade, hailing the country’s consistent policies to open up its services sector as a catalyst for global trade and shared growth.
ROBUST GROWTH
For Philips, the Dutch medical technology leader with a four-decade presence in China, the fair reflects robust momentum in the country’s healthcare sector. Returning to CIFTIS for the fifth consecutive year, Philips unveiled its latest magnetic resonance system, a breakthrough that shortens scan times and boosts efficiency.
“The growing awareness of healthcare and the leap in medical technologies have fueled the sector’s growth in China,” said Yang Donglan, vice president of Philips Greater China. “Every year at CIFTIS, we feel China’s business environment becoming more open and inclusive, giving us the confidence to deepen our roots here.”
Tourism company TUI China shares that optimism. The Germany-headquartered firm sees inbound travel gaining fresh momentum.
Technology has been a boost to tourism, said TUI China CEO Guido Brettschneider, noting that modern technologies, ranging from translation tools that enable tour guides to communicate in multiple languages to mobile payment options like Alipay and WeChat Pay for overseas visitors, have reduced barriers and enhanced traveler satisfaction.
The numbers bear this out. From January to July in 2025, China’s total services trade reached 4.58 trillion yuan (642.7 billion U.S. dollars), up 8.2 percent year on year. Tourism, a pillar of this growth, totaled 1.26 trillion yuan (177 billion dollars), surging 10.4 percent, according to a report from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce in early September.
The growth is attracting more global partners. Australia, this year’s guest country of honor at CIFTIS, sent its largest-ever delegation of nearly 60 organizations and companies.
On the opening day, it signed 15 agreements with Chinese partners in sectors including education, healthcare, finance and culture.
“China remains a market of tremendous potential in the service sector,” said Dominic Trindade, commercial minister at the Australian Embassy in Beijing. “Australia is committed to the Chinese market and our service providers are ready to develop new partnerships here.”
TECH POWER
At the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) booth, a humanoid robot greeted visitors, offering a glimpse into the future of banking.
Already deployed in several branches, the AI assistant can answer questions and explain bank services — an emblem of this year’s CIFTIS theme: “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services.”
Digital innovation is becoming the backbone of China’s service economy. In the first seven months of 2025, knowledge-intensive services — including AI, digital finance, and professional consulting — rose 6.8 percent to 1.78 trillion yuan (250 billion dollars), said the commerce ministry report.
For Zaha Hadid Architects, a British architecture and design firm, the tech boom is transforming the construction services industry.
Digital tools are adopted throughout the construction process, from design to fabrication, enabling factories to precisely execute the design, which enhances accuracy and quality control, said Satoshi Ohashi, director of Zaha Hadid Architects.
China has built an incredible manufacturing base, and now it has grown and developed into an innovation powerhouse, said Ohashi. “And I think that’s the power and potential of the Chinese economy.”
The view is echoed by Henning Kristoffersen, commercial counselor of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Beijing, who noted that China’s technological advancements are helping international firms raise efficiency and sharpen competitiveness.
By shifting from traditional industries to high-value-added sectors, China is enhancing its capacity to deliver high-quality and innovative services to its international partners, said Dale Pinto, president and chair of the board of CPA Australia. “This transition is opening new avenues for global cooperation of mutual benefit.”
POLICY OPENNESS
The rapid expansion of China’s services trade comes amid its consistent commitment to opening up and win-win cooperation.
Amid a notable rise in unilateralism and protectionism, China has steadily advanced institutional opening up in trade in services, which has provided strong momentum for its own development and created greater room for global economic growth, said Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang during a keynote speech at the event.
He also reiterated China’s commitment to working with all countries and parties to strengthen opening up and cooperation in services trade.
This commitment is tangible for foreign companies like Philips.
A more open and inclusive business environment in China offers more pragmatic opportunities for the company’s development, encouraging it to further strengthen its operations here, said Yang Donglan, vice president of Philips Greater China.
Global scholars have hailed China’s opening up as a strong driver for an open world economy and inclusive growth.
China’s efforts to advance high-standard opening up bring opportunities for shared development and prosperity to countries of the Global South, while improving the global governance system, said Mutinda Mutisya, a senior lecturer at the Department of Diplomacy and International Studies of the University of Nairobi.
Steps taken by Chinese policymakers have created a platform for equal participation by its partners, including emerging economies, said Tolonbek Abdyrov, a professor of economics and vice rector of the International Higher School of Medicine in Kyrgyzstan, noting that China’s advocacy for equal rights to development of all countries sends a clear and positive message.
CIFTIS and China’s commitment to openness provide a much-needed boost to global trade, strained by tariff hikes, said Herman Tiu Laurel, president of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, a Manila-based think tank. “CIFTIS will help sustain and improve the momentum of global trade and growth.” Hashtag: #CIFTIS

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – Amid global trade headwinds, China is sending fresh signals that it will further advance trade in services, providing strong momentum for its own development and creating more room for global economic growth.
This message resonated strongly at the ongoing 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, which gathered exhibitors from over 80 countries, regions and international organizations.
As China steadily opens its service sector and consumption shifts toward services, the fair provides a crucial meeting point for global companies to access new opportunities, find solutions and share in the benefits of China’s high-quality development.

SURGING DEMAND
Now in its 12th edition, the fair serves as a platform for China to showcase the development of its service industry and highlight its market potential. The core exhibition area alone spans over 100,000 square meters — equivalent to approximately 14 standard football fields — covering a wide array of service sectors such as culture and tourism, education, transport, health, finance, environment, sports and information technology.
This year, CIFTIS offers a unique opportunity for visitors: a one-stop tour of Beijing’s most iconic cultural sites, all within the walls of the culture and tourism services hall.
Among many exhibitors, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, and some other renowned destinations in Beijing have set up a collective booth, bringing their popular cultural and creative products to the event. This setup offers international visitors an efficient way to experience the highlights of Beijing’s cultural creativity without having to travel all over the city.
“The fair offers a key platform for us to communicate and collaborate with potential partners across various industries,” said Wang Fang at the Beijing Zoo booth, who had just discussed potential cooperation on eco-friendly souvenirs with a visiting company.
“Our goal is to provide both domestic and international tourists with higher-quality services and added value,” she added.
Instead of hunting for traditional goods, visitors at the CIFTIS are browsing for experiences. As China enters a stage where the service sector takes up more than half of the economy, the demand for high-quality services is on the rise, creating space for domestic industries to lift standards and for international companies to tap into this opportunity.
China’s consumption pattern has evolved into a stage that combines goods consumption with services consumption, said Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Sheng Qiuping, noting that from January to July this year, service retail sales grew by 5.2 percent year on year, with services accounting for a rising share of total consumption.
Sheng pointed out that the challenge lies in the insufficient supply of high-quality services to meet the rising demand. In this context, CIFTIS plays an important role in expanding imports of quality services.
The fair, gathering nearly 2,000 exhibitors, including close to 500 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry-leading enterprises like Walmart, AstraZeneca and KPMG, offers a glimpse into some of the world’s most innovative service offerings.
Chinese-made humanoid robots drew significant attention by demonstrating capabilities such as delivering food, preparing coffee, playing football, and even engaging in boxing matches.
Honson To, chairman of KPMG China and Asia Pacific, noted that China’s development of new quality productive forces, including cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence, will drive progress in knowledge-intensive services trade.
“As a window of China’s high-standard opening-up, CIFTIS will continue to optimize the services trade structure and inject robust resilience and vitality into the Chinese economy,” he added.
DEEPENING OPENING-UP
Paul Bateman, chairman of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, has visited China for more than 150 times over the past 30 years. “With each visit, I’m more impressed by the vitality and growth of China’s market,” he said while addressing the Global Trade in Services Summit of the CIFTIS.

Noting that the company’s footprint in China has expanded in recent years thanks to China’s decision to open up its service sector, particularly the removal of foreign equity caps in certain financial services, Bateman said the growth of trade in services is creating significant opportunities for the industry.
China has continued to advance the opening-up of its service sector. Last year, the country established a nationwide negative list management system for cross-border trade in services. In certain pilot free trade zones, overseas residents can now open securities or futures accounts to engage in businesses such as securities investment consulting or futures trading advisory services.
These policies have contributed to a notable rise in trade in services. In the first half of this year, China’s total services trade reached a record 3.9 trillion yuan (about 549 billion U.S. dollars), marking an 8 percent year-on-year increase.
During the fair, officials pledged efforts to further open up the sector. China will promote pilot opening-up programs in the fields of telecommunications and medicine, while steadily advancing opening-up in the education and culture sectors, Sheng said.
The country will also deepen alignment with high-standard international economic and trade rules, and foster a transparent, stable, and predictable institutional environment, he added.
“China is willing to work with all countries and parties to strengthen opening up and cooperation in services trade, and promote growth in global trade and world economy,” said Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang at the fair.
SHARED OPPORTUNITY
For international participant at CIFTIS like Australian vocational education provider Chisholm Institute of TAFE, China’s growing demand for high-quality services represents a tangible opportunity.

“We’re looking to find partnerships that allow us to deliver Australian vocational qualifications in the Chinese market,” said Christopher Hogg, global business development manager of the institute, highlighting education as a key area of services trade collaboration between the two countries.
Over the years, CIFTIS has become a key platform that promotes global collaboration, encourages the exchange of advanced services, and creates shared opportunities for global businesses.
Norway’s national pavilion, featuring nine companies across sectors like health, nutrition and aquaculture, exemplifies how China’s changing consumption pattern is creating opportunities for foreign enterprises.
Henning Kristoffersen, commercial counselor of the Norwegian Embassy in China, noted the alignment between Norwegian offerings and rising Chinese health consciousness. “The Chinese consumers are very health-conscious. And for the products that we have in Norway, this is great,” he said, seeing “great opportunities” for Norwegian businesses to find partners and introduce products to Chinese consumers.
Andre Haspels, ambassador of the Netherlands to China, pointed to sports services as a vibrant area for cooperation, citing examples like collaborations in swimming safety and cycling infrastructure. “Sports, of course, is very important for health, mental and physical health,” he said, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in the health sector.
As Sheng noted, by deepening integration with global markets, strengthening industrial collaboration and expanding open cooperation in trade in services, “China will inject stronger momentum into global economic prosperity.” Hashtag: #CIFTIS

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – Jennings Trading Enterprise Pte Ltd has officially opened its new Experience Center at Kranji Green, Singapore. More than just a showcase of laminates, this thoughtfully curated space is designed to reinvent the laminate selection journey through a more tactile and immersive selection journey.
Since opening to the public in February 2025, the Experience Center at 28 Kranji Loop, #02-01 Kranji Green has welcomed a steady flow of visitors looking to explore materials in a design-led environment.
Rethinking the Showroom Experience
Unlike traditional showrooms, the Jennings Experience Center is centered around personalised consultation. Each walk-in customer is greeted by a dedicated indoor sales consultant who guides them through the laminate selection process—ensuring every choice is tailored and thoughtful.
Whether you’re renovating your home or designing a commercial space, the experience is crafted to feel intuitive, inspiring, and stress-free.
Thoughtful Design for a Seamless Browsing Experience
From the moment a visitor enters, the layout is structured to make navigation effortless. Laminates are categorised by design type: solid colours, woodgrains, stone, and more, making it easier to compare options and visualise combinations.
Standout features include oval-shaped panels that make browsing woodgrain and stone-inspired laminates intuitive, an L-shaped shelving wall displaying various wood tones, and a café-style seating area to encourage relaxed discussion. Pull-out panels allow customers to view full laminate sheets, crucial for evaluating grain flow, scale, and texture in full form.
An Extensive Collection of Laminate Samples on Display
The Experience Center houses Jennings’ full range of high pressure laminates, including solids, woodgrains, stones, industrial cement textures, and digitally printed rattan and fluted designs. Visitors can explore finishes like Super Matt, Clean Touch, Easy Touch, and Baby Touch, all presented as physical laminate samples for hands-on evaluation.
A highlight of the space is the new 2025/2027 Designers’ Collection, featuring extended 10-foot laminates and surfaces inspired by natural elements. These fresh additions respond directly to current interior trends and have been developed with both residential and commercial applications in mind.
Designed for Homeowners and Industry Professionals Alike
The Experience Center caters to a broad spectrum of visitors: homeowners planning renovations, interior designers seeking new material palettes, architects developing design schemes, carpenters and contractors sourcing reliable surface materials.
Each walk-in customer has access to material recommendations tailored to their project style. In addition to showroom consultations, Jennings offers laminate sample deliveries and technical support to ensure a smooth selection experience for both residential and commercial projects.
Exploring Design Possibilities Through Collaboration
Jennings continues to collaborate with interior design firms, boutique architecture studios, and carpentry workshops across Singapore. Many of these partners incorporate Jennings’ laminates into show flats, boutique retail, and custom residential interiors. Through these ongoing collaborations, the brand remains closely connected to evolving market demands, including the use of materials like metal laminates in high-contrast modern interiors.
Integrating Technology into the Showroom Experience
While the current focus is on the tactile experience, Jennings is exploring the integration of interactive digital displays in collaboration with a software partner. Once implemented, these features will enable customers to visualise laminate applications in simulated room settings, enhancing their decision-making process.
Curated Events and Promotions for a Personalised Launch
Rather than opting for a conventional grand opening, Jennings has chosen a more curated approach. Private previews have been held for interior design firms to provide early access to the new collection and showroom features. Customers can also expect exclusive giveaways and promotions through the company’s Instagram channel in the coming weeks.
Catering to the Evolving Needs of Singapore’s Design Community
The Experience Center provides an interactive space for material selection, complete with full-sized kitchen displays and areas to mix and match solid colours. Customers can examine laminate samples in realistic applications, assisting them in making informed decisions for various design choices, such as minimalist kitchen setups or wood feature walls in living rooms. Looking Ahead: Future Growth and Brand Vision
While there are currently no regional expansion plans, Jennings is open to establishing additional experience centres locally in response to customer demand. The long-term vision is to evolve into a lifestyle-driven laminate brand, merging material innovation with design content across both digital and physical platforms.
With this new Experience Center, Jennings aims to not only expand its market reach but also to reposition itself as a brand that delivers thoughtful design experiences, whether through tactile laminate samples, future-forward tech integrations, or versatile offerings like marble laminates for modern interiors.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – Amid the buzz of the ongoing 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), a robot dog is stealing the show. However, this remarkable machine is not just a playful performer; it carries a serious mission.
A humanoid robot plays piano at the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 11, 2025.
Equipped with a yellow methane detection probe, it sniffs out potential gas leaks, poised to become a “bodyguard” enhancing community safety.
Zhang Shenyan, a senior R&D engineer at Beijing Gas Group Co., Ltd., explained that this robotic inspector can be pre-programmed with specific routes and key inspection areas, allowing it to conduct regular patrols and safety checks within residential compounds.
The robot dog is just one example of how the new technological revolution, led by artificial intelligence (AI), is permeating every facet of daily life — a trend that has been constant throughout this year’s CIFTIS. Across various themed exhibition halls, AI applications are transforming multiple services trade sectors.
In the health services exhibition hall, Guang’anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences displayed an AI diagnostic robot. People can converse with the “AI doctor” in a consultation room.
Xue Chong, founder of the AI doctor company Trizen, noted that the AI system uses large-model technology and has been trained on a vast array of real case data. It is now capable of conducting traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis such as pulse reading, facial and tongue analysis.
“AI large-model technology has reached a stage focusing on deep integration with specific sectors, and healthcare is an ideal field for AI application,” said Xue.
Xue said they are also developing an AI terminal for home use, paving the way for home-based AI medical services.
The environmental services section also featured its own AI innovation. The company He Mu Ecology presented an eco-dredging robot, capable of performing remote-controlled dredging in urban rivers and underwater environments, as well as cleaning hazardous material from enclosed chemical tanks.
QuantaEye Technologies Co., Ltd. exhibited its “water environment scout,” a floating monitoring device that collects over 10 real-time water quality parameters. Integrated with Internet of Things and big data analysis, it enables dynamic water monitoring and early pollution alerts. The company said that the system is already deployed in several rivers and lakes across Beijing.
Throughout the CIFTIS exhibition halls, a dazzling array of AI applications has drawn large crowds of visitors, all eager to stop and experience the innovations firsthand. Experts across various fields are actively seeking ways to integrate the cutting-edge technology into their respective fields, turning innovative concepts into tangible productivity gains.
In the culture and tourism services zone, visitors lined up to try mixed reality (MR) experiences through wearable devices, immersing themselves in interactive virtual environments or embarking on digital tours of famous landmarks and heritage sites.
Meanwhile, over in the education services zone, exhibitors presented AI-powered support systems tailored for child development. These tools combine health monitoring, personalized tutoring, and physical activity tracking to create a complete growth solution for kids.
Ouyang Rihui, deputy director of the China Center for Internet Economy Research at the Central University of Finance and Economics, noted that in recent years, China’s application and promotion of digital intelligent technologies have led to a surge of new AI products, application scenarios, and service formats.
“These have greatly stimulated and expanded new potential in service consumption,” he added.
Liang Zheng, vice dean of the Institute for AI International Governance at Tsinghua University, said that AI innovation not only reduces the cost and barriers to trade in services through automation and digitalization, but also creates entirely new service formats and business models through intelligence and personalization.
“It is reshaping the present and future of global trade in services,” Liang said.
The theme of this year’s CIFTIS is “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services.” With participation from 85 countries and international organizations, along with nearly 2,000 companies exhibiting on-site, the event will run for five days until Sept. 14.
Since its inception in 2012, CIFTIS has brought together enterprises from around the world to share opportunities stemming from China’s opening up and development of trade in services.
