HONG KONG, Dec 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 25th Hong Kong Forum drew to a successful close today, facilitating exchange and creating cooperation opportunities among businesses from different regions. Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide (FHKBAW), the two-day event attracted more than 320 business leaders from 28 countries and regions, focusing on hot topics such as Hong Kong's business outlook, the development of the Northern Metropolis and youth entrepreneurship, providing participants with in-depth insights into different areas and actively promoting the advantages of Hong Kong's "eight centres".Promoting Hong Kong as a key international business platformGiving the opening remarks on the first day of the event, Margaret Fong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “We have held the Hong Kong Forum for 25 consecutive years. In the late 1990s, when the Asian financial crisis gripped much of the region and the long process of recovery had just begun, we launched this event to demonstrate to the world that, despite the crisis, our city remained a vital international business platform.”She also mentioned the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA). “With Hong Kong being the most international city in the GBA and a two-way gateway to Mainland China, our city is a ‘super-connector’ linking the mainland with the world. With our strengths in traditional industries and the strides we are making in newer sectors, Hong Kong is brimming with opportunities. Amid today’s digital and sustainability agendas, the city is accelerating its transition towards a more innovation-driven, digitally competitive and greener future.”Hans Poulis, Chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide, said: “We had some remarkable sessions lined up this year, including a discussion on the foundation of global competitiveness that emphasised the critical role of the rule of law and international cooperation in maintaining Hong Kong's status as a leading financial hub. We also explored the Northern Metropolis initiative, which aims to position Hong Kong as an international business and innovation hub, highlighting its strategic significance within the Greater Bay Area. We also delved into the efforts of local industries to drive sustainability, showcasing innovative practices that are shaping a greener future for Hong Kong.”John Lee, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, was Guest of Honour at the Hong Kong Forum’s keynote luncheon on the second day of the event (4 December). He said: “Hong Kong is the world's ‘super connector’. Hong Kong has long attracted businesses and investors, thanks to our clear and compelling advantages - from a free and open investment environment and simple and low tax system, to modern infrastructure and logistics networks and the unfettered flow of information, capital, goods and people.”He additionally mentioned: “To build on our strengths, the Hong Kong SAR Government has implemented a wide range of initiatives, over the past two years, promoting economic opportunities. We are pressing ahead with the development of the ‘eight centres’ of excellence, as set out in the 14th Five-Year Plan, as well as the Northern Metropolis, the new engine of Hong Kong's economic future. We've also set up Hong Kong Talent Engage and the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises, to boost our strategic value and drive for talent and enterprises.”Focusing on HK’s legal system, the Northern Metropolis and green transformationUpholding the rule of law and maintaining strong international cooperation are essential to the continued success of Hong Kong as a global financial and business hub. In a session titled “The Foundation of Global Competitiveness” on the first morning of the forum, Rimsky Yuen, Senior Counsel and former Secretary for Justice, examined how Hong Kong’s robust legal system, based on the principles of common law and the independence of the judiciary, has been instrumental in establishing the city as an open, transparent and trusted place for business.The latest Policy Address highlighted how Hong Kong is moving forward, with the Northern Metropolis becoming a new engine for the city’s future growth. Vic Yau, Director of the Northern Metropolis Co-ordination Office of the Development Bureau, provided participants with an overview of the key features and strategic significance of the Northern Metropolis initiative, highlighting its potential to strengthen Hong Kong's role as a leading finance-technology "dual engine" within the GBA. The Northern Metropolis will provide a new economic impetus for Hong Kong, underpinned by innovation and technology development that will help the city develop into an international business and innovation hub.Sustainability was also in focus at the forum, with local business leaders sharing their valuable experience in promoting green transformation in different industries and enterprises and providing participants with a comprehensive overview of their sustainability efforts and innovations. The speakers included Adriel Chan, Chair of the Hang Lung Group; Joseph Law, Managing Director of CLP Power; Poman Lo, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Regal Hotels International; and Heidi Yu Spurrell, Founder & CEO, Future Green.In the morning session on the second day of the forum, a group of young Hong Kong-based entrepreneurs, include Sidhant Gupta, Cofounder of Clear Robotics Limited; Carla Martinesi, CEO & Cofounder of CHOMP; and Christian Secci, CEO & Cofounder of alfred24, discussed their experiences running startups with a focus on innovation and transformation, exploring how innovation drives entrepreneurship and creates fresh ideas, new technologies and different models that can help to transform industries.The forum also announced the latest addition to the FHKBAW, with the Spain-Hong Kong Business Association joining its ranks this year. This signals the continued expansion of the federation and reflects the strong interest European countries have in establishing ties with Hong Kong.Global business representatives visit Hong Kong logistics facilitiesOver the two days of the forum, FHKBAW representatives visited key logistics facilities, including Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited, Hong Kong International Airport and Cainiao Smart Gateway, to gain a better understanding of the latest developments in Hong Kong's logistics and air cargo industry, and to experience the unique opportunities presented by city’s “eight centres".The Hong Kong Forum is the annual flagship event of the FHKBAW.

SINGAPORE, Dec 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - How much sugar does a Singaporean typically take in a day? In a recent speech by Health Minister Mr. Ong Ye Kung, Singapore is too sweet. While the average daily sugar intake of Singaporeans has fallen from 60g in 2018 to 56g in 2022, this number still works out to about 11 teaspoons of daily sugar consumption, about 10% higher than the ideal intake of less than 50g.Amid an ageing population, the younger generation in Singapore is also increasingly affected by this chronic condition, highlighting a growing national health concern related to sugar consumption.Sugar, a common mis-solution to anxiety, often provides a sense of fleeting comfort. The instant boost in dopamine from sugar can create a cycle of dependency, giving temporary relief from stress or anxiety but contributing to harmful physical effects, such as inflammation, weight gain, and insulin resistance.The overconsumption of sugar, combined with sedentary lifestyles and other unhealthy dietary habits have contributed to diabetes becoming a major global health crisis today – Alarmingly, diabetes rates are rising among the younger generation, including both teenagers and young adults, contributing to nearly half a million cases in Singapore. Astonishingly, 40% of Singaporeans remain unaware of their pre-diabetic status, an often silent condition that could lead to type 2 diabetes.Diabetes is a chronic condition that if left unmanaged, can lead to serious health complications, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, nerve damage or even vision loss. However, type 2 diabetes can be prevented through proactive lifestyle changes, including healthy eating, regular physical activity, so as to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.In line with World Diabetes Day on 14 November, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C) is dedicated to highlight the importance of taking preventative measures against diabetes. By incorporating supplements that support blood sugar regulation and reduce carbohydrate absorption, along with a healthy diet and increased physical activity, individuals can maintain their glucose levels and maintain their metabolic health.LAC GlucoX is designed to support healthy glucose levels. Formulated with bitter melon and Fibersol-2, Banaba leaf, Gymnema, Chromium and Brown Seaweed, GlucoX helps slow down carbohydrate absorption and optimises glucose utilisation, supporting individuals in managing their blood sugar levels effectively.LAC Bitter Melon Formula, is formulated with Momordica Charantia Polysaccharide (MCP), a key compound from bitter melon known for its ability to support healthy blood glucose levels. It enhances the body’s ability to regulate insulin production and supports the overall metabolic health of individuals. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SAN JOSE, CA, Dec 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In an era where 75% of security breaches are attributed to weak authentication, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures has never been greater.

- Patients in the low-dose cohort who have completed 36 weeks of treatment, 9 out of 11 (81.8%) achieved overall clinical remission and 10 out of 11 (91%) achieved immunological complete remission.- In the high dose cohort, 6 out of 7 (85.7%) patients achieved overall clinical remission and all patients achieved immunological complete remission by week 24.- EVER001 was generally safe and well tolerated. No clinically significant adverse events typically associated with earlier-generation BTK inhibitors, such as bleeding, arrhythmia, severe infection, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or severe liver function impairment, were reported.SHANGHAI, Dec 4,  2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK,“Everest”, or the "Company"),  a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced positive results in the ongoing Phase 1b/2a clinical trial for the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) with EVER001 (previously known as XNW1011), a next-generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. In an analysis of the data available as of September 13th, 2024, results from the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial showed that for patients in the low-dose cohort who have completed 36 weeks of treatment, 9 out of 11 (81.8%) achieved overall clinical remission1 and 10 out of 11 (91%) achieved immunological complete remission (ICR)2. In the high dose cohort, 6 out of 7 (85.7%) patients achieved overall clinical remission and all patients achieved ICR by week 24.EVER001 is a covalent reversible BTK inhibitor with potentially best-in-class characteristics for the treatment of autoimmune renal diseases. Compared to covalent irreversible BTK inhibitors, EVER001 offers improved selectivity while maintaining high potency, thereby potentially avoiding many of the side effects associated with earlier-generation BTK inhibitors. Everest Medicines holds global rights to EVER001 for the treatment of renal diseases.The Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of EVER001 for the treatment of pMN is an ongoing trial conducted in China. A total of 31 patients with biopsy-proven pMN who tested positive for anti-PLA2R autoantibodies were enrolled into two cohorts. The total treatment duration was 36 weeks. Based on the patient data collected by September 13th, 2024, in the low-dose cohort, the geometric least squares mean 24-hour proteinuria decreased by 78.3% at week 36 compared to baseline, while the high-dose cohort achieved a 73.8% reduction by week 24. EVER001 treatment induced greater than 90% reductions in anti-PLA2R antibody as early as week 24 in the low-dose cohort and week 12 in the high-dose cohort. EVER001 was generally safe and well tolerated. No clinically significant adverse events typically associated with earlier-generation BTK inhibitors, such as bleeding, arrhythmia, severe infection, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or severe liver function impairment, were reported."We are excited to see the encouraging results in this preliminary analysis of our Phase 1b/2a clinical proof-of-concept trial of EVER001. This demonstrates the potential of EVER001 as a next-generation BTK inhibitor for the treatment of various autoimmune renal diseases, including pMN. "Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines, said："This data release marks the first time Everest Medicines has disclosed results from its global pipeline. We look forward to completing this trial and sharing detailed data in future conferences and publications. Moving forward, we will continue to drive the global clinical development of EVER001, to meet patients' urgent clinical needs.”Membranous nephropathy is a common pathological type of nephrotic syndrome in adults, and its prevalence in China has been increasing, ranking second only to IgA nephropathy3. There are about 2 million patients with pMN in China, with an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 patients in the United States, 80,000 in Europe, and 40,000 in Japan. There are no approved drugs for this indication worldwide. The current treatment goal is to improve remission rates, reduce high relapse rates, and minimize the risk of chronic toxicity caused by currently available treatments. More than one-third of pMN patients still progress to end-stage renal disease under current standards of care.This Phase 1b/2a clinical trial was approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration in September 2022 to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVER001 in Chinese patients with glomerular diseases characterized by proteinuria. The previously published results of a Phase 1 study conducted in healthy Chinese and Australian subjects conducted by SinoMab BioScience indicate that EVER001 has high selectivity, excellent pharmacokinetic properties, a good safety profile, and strong target binding.About EVER001EVER001 (previously known as XNW1011) is a next-generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor in development globally for the treatment of renal diseases. BTK is an essential component of the B-cell receptor signaling pathways that regulate the survival, activation, proliferation, and differentiation of B lymphocytes. Targeting BTK with small molecule inhibitors has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment option for B-cell lymphomas and autoimmune diseases. Based in part on results from a completed phase 1 trial with healthy subjects conducted by SinoMab in China, EVER001 exhibited high selectivity, excellent pharmacokinetics properties, strong target binding and a safety profile that supports continued clinical development.Under an exclusive licensing agreement with Sinovent Pharmaceuticals and SinoMab BioScience, Everest owns global rights to develop, produce and commercialize EVER001 for the treatment of renal diseases.Investor Calls InformationEverest Medicines will hold investor calls on the data results from EVER001 Phase 1b/2a clinical study in primary membranous nephropathy. EVER001 is a next-generation covalent reversible Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, and Everest owns the global rights to develop EVER001 for the treatment of renal diseases.The English session of the conference call will be held at 9:00 AM on Dec. 4, 2024, Beijing Time (8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time on Dec. 3, 2024) and the Mandarin session of the conference call will be held at 10:30 AM Beijing Time on the same day (9:30 PM U.S. Eastern Time on Dec. 3, 2024).The conference calls can be accessed by the following links:For English Session:Time: 9:00 AM Beijing Time, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024 (8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time on Dec. 3, 2024)Pre-Registration Link: https://www.acecamptech.com/eventDetail/60510700Webcast Link:https://www.acecamptech.com/meeting_live/70512679/774680?event_id=60510700Alternatively, participants may dial in to the conference call using below dial-in information:United States: +1-646-2543594 (EN)Chinese Mainland: +86-10-58084166 (EN), +86-10-58084199 (CN)Hong Kong, China: +852-30051313 (EN), +852-30051355 (CN)United Kingdom: +44-12-1368-0466 (EN)International: +1-866-6363243 (EN)Password: 842080For Mandarin Session:Time: 10:30 AM Beijing Time, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024 (9:30 PM U.S. Eastern Time on Dec. 3, 2024)Webcast Link: https://s.comein.cn/n3arj55sAlternatively, participants may dial into the conference call using below dial-in information:United States: +1-646-3578788, +1-408-7093255Chinese Mainland: 400-969-8928, 400-806-3263Hong Kong, China: +852-301-83602Taiwan, China: +886-226563394, +886-277417882Singapore: +65-64075649, +65-66220840United Kingdom: +44-2070970018 International: +86-2362737123Password: 377570The replay of English session will be available shortly after the call and can be accessed by visiting the Company’s website at http://www.everestmedicines.com.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets.

(CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") a leading North American exploration company focused on critical minerals, acknowledges today's announcement by China banning exports of gallium, germanium, and antimony to the United States. This move underscores the urgent need for Western nations to secure reliable long-term sources of these essential materials.Antimony, a critical component in military applications, energy storage, and advanced manufacturing, is now at the forefront of the global supply chain crisis. China's ban, coupled with existing restrictions that came into effect September 15, 2024, has already sent antimony prices soaring by over 228% this year(1). The Western world faces mounting pressure to address its reliance on China for strategic resources critical to national defense and technological innovation. This ban comes at a time when defense sector inventories are at already concerningly low levels.(2)Military Metals recent antimony mineral project acquisitions in Slovakia, Nova Scotia, and Nevada provide shareholders with a pure antimony play with a diverse portfolio in top jurisdictions."This announcement from China reinforces the importance of Military Metals' mission to secure a sustainable, independent future supply chain for critical minerals," said Scott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals Corp. "The West can no longer afford to rely on adversarial nations for resources essential to our security and economic stability. We are taking proactive steps to meet this growing demand with future domestic and allied sources of antimony."As geopolitical tensions escalate and the trade war intensifies, Military Metals will continue to prioritize the development of critical mineral resources and work closely with governments and industry partners to ensure the West remains resilient and self-sufficient.About Military Metals Corp.
