Centered on the permanent theme of “Dialogue with the World for Common Development,” the forum featured one opening ceremony (including the 2025 Beijing CBD Multinational Corporation Summit), four flagship international events, and multiple parallel forums.
During the opening ceremony’s achievements release session, Chaoyang District unveiled several high-quality development projects and outcomes.

Additionally, the “Belt and Road” Express Service Platform’s “CBD Lounge” was inaugurated.

Since 2000, the Beijing CBD Forum has evolved into a frontline platform for China’s global dialogue and a robust pillar for Beijing’s role as an international exchange hub.
UNDP Asia Mayors Forum Held Concurrently, Four Flagship Events to Boost Economic Cooperation
Beijing CBD is the most concentrated area for foreign-funded enterprises in the capital. The forum aims to foster international economic collaboration and attract investment. During the event, Beijing CBD will host four flagship international activities: the Beijing CBD Global Board Meeting Series, Government-Business Dialogue, Global Business Districts “Experience Beijing” Event, and Sino-Foreign Automakers Roundtable.
On June 12, the Beijing Municipal Commerce Bureau and the CBD Administrative Committee will co-host a policy-focused government-business dialogue on stabilizing foreign investment. The session will interpret the latest policies, address corporate needs, and facilitate exchanges to support foreign enterprises in China.
Held concurrently, the UNDP Asia Mayors Forum, themed “Collaborative Innovation: Co-Creating Low-Carbon and Sustainable Future Cities,” brings together global urban leaders, multinational executives, international organization representatives, and academic experts. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the forum emphasizes international cooperation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and financial and technological innovation to drive urban sustainability.
Beijing is accelerating its development as a global green economy leader. As a high-density economic hub, the CBD plays a critical role in energy conservation, renewable energy adoption, and efficiency improvements.
In recent years, Beijing CBD has implemented policies like the “Measures to Promote High-Quality Development of Beijing CBD” and the “CBD Building Quality Grading Standards” to support green industries and enhance smart, eco-friendly services. Currently, LEED Gold or higher-certified buildings in the area span 4.9 million square meters.

The CBD Administrative Committee continues to refine its business-friendly environment.
Initiatives like the “CBD Investment Service Center” streamline administrative processes, while the “Headquarters Growth Plan” assists companies like BMW China and Toyota Financial Services in obtaining regional headquarters status. In May 2025, the “Beijing CBD Foreign Investment Service Center” launched, positioning itself as the “first stop for foreign enterprises entering China.”
Through institutional innovation, Beijing CBD advances the integrated business environment of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

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.”
