HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 November 2025 – The Hong Kong International Communications Electronic Chamber (HKICEC), jointly initiated by industry leaders, was officially established on 13 November, 2025. The inaugural ceremony and banquet were held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (New Wing), marking a new milestone for Hong Kong’s communications and electronics trade industry. The event brought together more than 200 member enterprises, along with representatives from the world’s Top 100 companies, policymakers, and business leaders from Hong Kong, Mainland China, and overseas. The grand occasion was filled to capacity, creating a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere.
As a major trade organization for the communications and electronics sector, HKICEC is committed to promoting the efficient global circulation and rational allocation of communications equipment, advancing industry standardization and transparency, and strengthening Hong Kong’s position as an international hub for communications and electronics trade. The Chamber will serve as a vital bridge connecting suppliers, platforms, wholesalers, and policymakers, offering a platform for resource integration, technical exchange, and policy advocacy.
Mr. Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR, remarked in his speech earlier that afternoon, “We are committed to strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a premier international trade and business center, as well as a leading telecommunications hub. In particular, we remain dedicated to fostering favourable business environment that unlocks the potential of high-value-added industries by leveraging Hong Kong’s unique advantages under the “one country, two systems” principle. I am confident that the HKICEC will play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the communications electronic industry by fostering innovation and strengthening collaboration, enabling the industry to meet the challenges of an evolving and dynamic landscape.”
At the banquet, Dr. Lawrence Cheung, Deputy Secretary for Justice of the HKSAR, highlighted Hong Kong’s strengths, “Hong Kong is an international hub for logistics and professional services, with a well-developed logistics system, rule of law, and financial services that provide an excellent business environment. We are well-positioned to play a leading role in communications equipment and electronics recycling, with vast development potential. The HKSAR Government attaches great importance to innovation and technology as well as the communications and electronics industry. Through policy support and international cooperation, we actively promote regional economic collaboration and low-carbon transformation, striving to build Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology center. The establishment of HKICEC not only demonstrates its strength but also reflects the cohesion of Hong Kong’s industry.”
The inauguration ceremony was officiated by Dr. Lawrence Cheung, Deputy Secretary for Justice of the HKSAR; Mr. Li Wenbin, Deputy Director of the Kowloon Work Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government; Mr. Ho Lap-kee, District Officer of Kwun Tong; and leaders of HKICEC, who together witnessed this historic moment. The first council members of HKICEC were formally introduced (*see list below). Nearly 180 banquet tables were fully booked, underscoring the industry’s strong recognition and support for the Chamber.
Mr. Jacky Tse, Chairman of HKICEC, also addressed the dinner, “Our vision in founding HKICEC is to ‘gather wisdom and strength, connect globally, empower the industry, and give back to society.’ We are committed to building an innovative, internationally minded platform for industry exchange. By pooling collective expertise, seizing opportunities in the Greater Bay Area, and driving the industry and new technologies onto the global stage, we aim to open a brighter future for Hong Kong’s communications and electronics sector and write an exciting new chapter together.”
Prior to the banquet, HKICEC hosted the Hong Kong International Communications Electronic Trade Forum 2025, featuring heavyweight speakers from international and Mainland enterprises. Leaders from Asurion, Sunstrike, PCS Wireless, AiFengPai, ATRenew (AiHuiShou), Zhuanzhuan, and HKICEC Chief Secretary Mr. Jacky Chan joined the discussions. The forum was moderated by Ms. Elizabeth Chen, ICEC International President, under the theme “Global Smart Mobile Device – New Engine · New Wave · New Opportunities.” Discussions focused on global market trends, platform development, technological innovation, and policy environments for refurbished mobile devices. Participants agreed that as the smart device market enters a stage of stock competition, circulation of refurbished devices not only extends product lifecycles but also enhances resource recycling and environmental benefits, becoming a new growth engine for the industry. The forum also explored Hong Kong’s unique role in global refurbished device trade, as a center for price discovery, logistics, and policy coordination.
Looking ahead, HKICEC will continue to foster industry collaboration, technological innovation, and international expansion, helping Hong Kong exert greater influence in the global communications and electronics trade arena. The Chamber will promote the global circulation and rational allocation of communications equipment, advance industry standardization and transaction transparency, encourage enterprises to adopt smart technologies to enhance efficiency, expand overseas markets, and deepen international cooperation – at the same time, HKICEC will advocate green recycling and ESG practices, driving the industry toward high-quality, sustainable, and digital development. Connecting the world, going global.

VinFast Officially Enters Indonesia’s E-Scooter Market, Partners with Strategic Dealers
Accordingly, VinFast has signed strategic MoUs with its first partners in Indonesia, including K3, Citra Abadi Sedaya, PT Bevos Auto Mandiri, PT Sapta Jaya, MotorArt, PT Sinergies Dua Kawan, and PT HINU. These partners have long-standing experience in the distribution of automobiles and motorcycles, strong professional operational capabilities, deep market understanding, and the ability to rapidly deploy operations in line with VinFast’s standards.
VinFast will begin rolling out its distribution network in the Jabodetabek area — Indonesia’s largest economic and urban center — from the second quarter of 2026, with plans to expand to other regions nationwide.
In Indonesia, VinFast plans to introduce a portfolio of battery-swapping e-scooters, including VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, VinFast Flazz and VinFast Viper, alongside additional new models to be launched in due course. The product lineup has been carefully engineered and calibrated to suit Indonesia’s tropical climate, dense urban traffic conditions, and everyday commuting patterns.
Throughout 2026, VinFast aims to further expand its footprint to hundreds of authorized dealerships and service workshops nationwide. The Company’s development strategy in Indonesia is designed as an integrated ecosystem, combining retail and after-sales networks, financing solutions, charging and battery-swapping infrastructure through cooperation with V-Green, and partnerships with leading financial institutions.
Prior to this announcement, VinFast had unveiled its strategy to internationalize its electric two-wheeler business and signed agreements with dealers in the Philippines. According to its roadmap, the Company will accelerate expansion across five priority markets in 2026, namely the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia. These countries represent high-growth economies with substantial urban mobility demand and a clear transition toward sustainable transportation solutions.
Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Scooters Overseas Market, stated: “Indonesia is a strategic market in VinFast’s global e-scooter expansion journey. Partnering with leading local dealers underscores our partners’ confidence in VinFast’s product quality, service standards, flexible battery-swapping model, and long-term vision. We are committed to accompanying Indonesian consumers on their transition toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future of mobility.”
Indonesia stands among the world’s largest motorcycle markets, characterized by rapid urbanization, high population density in major cities, and increasing policy and consumer momentum toward environmentally friendly transportation. These structural factors create substantial headroom for the growth of the e-scooter segment. Indonesian dealers have expressed strong confidence in VinFast’s long-term potential in the country, citing its comprehensive green mobility ecosystem, large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and proven ability to execute swiftly across multiple international markets.
After two years of presence in Indonesia, VinFast has introduced a broad range of electric vehicles, from electric SUVs to models optimized for transportation services, and has commenced operations at its Subang facility. Concurrently, the Company has expanded its integrated ecosystem, including dealership and after-sales networks, charging infrastructure in collaboration with V-Green, and partnerships with leading banks and financial institutions. Through pioneering and customer-centric policies, VinFast continues to lower barriers to EV adoption and enable Indonesian consumers to participate in the global green mobility revolution.

Pacific Century Premium Developments Limited (“PCPD”, SEHK: 00432) has announced its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The consolidated revenue of PCPD and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) amounted to HK$ 1,046 million, representing an increase of 51% compared to the revenue of HK$ 695 million in 2024.
The consolidated net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year of 2025 was HK$ 69 million, compared to the net loss of HK$ 230 million in 2024.
Basic loss per share for 2025 was 3.38 Hong Kong cents compared to the loss per share of 11.29 Hong Kong cents for the previous year.
The Board of Directors has not recommended the payment of a final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In 2025, PCPD achieved robust full-year results, driven by the sustained surge in international travel across our key Asian markets, our operational strengths, and the continued recognition of our high-quality portfolio. This performance was underpinned predominantly by contributions from two segments: Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, our hospitality business in Hokkaido, which delivered a notable rise in occupancy and revenue, and our ski and recreation operations in Niseko, Hokkaido, which also saw a surge in demand and revenue.
Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, our hotel operations in Hokkaido, delivered a robust performance in 2025, as the boom in Japan‘s tourism sector continued throughout the year, again with record-breaking tourist arrivals. The average occupancy rate of Park Hyatt Niseko increased by 4 percentage points.
During the winter season of 2024/2025, total ski-lift and gondola rides increased 9% year-on-year. The travel surge continued to drive robust demand for our recreational business in Niseko well beyond the cold months.
In Phang Nga, Thailand, the Group has sold or reserved 40% of Phase 1A villas. The Group’s revenue from its property development in Thailand totalled HK$14 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to no revenue in 2024.
We formed a strategic alliance with Hotel Properties Limited in Singapore to bring a Four Seasons Resort and Branded Residences to the prestigious integrated resort community of Aquella in Phang Nga. The move represents a significant milestone in PCPD‘s long-term vision of transforming Aquella into a visionary integrated resort destination that effortlessly blends luxury living, recreation and exceptional service.
In Jakarta, Indonesia, the occupancy of our premium commercial building, Pacific Century Place, Jakarta (“PCP Jakarta”), was stable throughout the year, and the project remained a consistent revenue contributor to the Group. As of December 31, 2025, the office space committed occupancy was 87%, compared to 85% in the previous year.
Development of the superstructure of the Group‘s project at 3–6 Glenealy, Central, Hong Kong, has been progressing well. We have reached a key structural milestone, with the superstructural work now completed and installation of the curtain walls progressing at pace. The name of the development has also been unveiled as “Central Residence by the Park”, and its completion is scheduled for the first half of 2026.
In the long run, we remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term outlook for property sectors in Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. With PCPD‘s disciplined execution and proactive risk management, we have confidence in our ability to drive continued growth and deliver sustained value.
Mr. Benjamin Lam, PCPD’s Deputy Chairman and Group Managing Director, said: “We will maintain our prudent yet proactive approach, allocating resources carefully and pursuing value-enhancing initiatives. Our priority remains to drive sustainable growth, improve profitability, and deliver solid returns to shareholders and stakeholders.”
