26 September - 4 October

MONACO, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fresh from her campaign on the United States East Coast, including taking part in the 250th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence celebrations, Yacht Club de Monaco's flagship Tuiga (1909) returns to the Mediterranean race circuit.

The centenarian 15M IR yacht will be competing in the 28th Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez (28 September to 4 October), organised by the Soci?t? Nautique de Saint-Tropez, where 253 boats are expected, including 80 classic sailing yachts.

On the initiative of YCM Vice-President Pierre Casiraghi, the Monegasque crew brings together sailors from diverse competitive sailing backgrounds, all sharing a commitment to the highest standards of performance.

Complementary skill-sets on Tuiga

From Eric Tabarly to Paul Cayard and Dennis Connor, Tuiga has been helmed by some of the biggest names in international sailing, a long tradition perpetuated by this crew for the 2026 Voiles.

Skipper and tactician, Pierre will share the helm with two-time America's Cup winner Jimmy Spithill and Boris Herrmann, skipper of Malizia 4, both members of YCM, as is Baron Schroder who is returning to the crew.

Joining them as part of the crew are Dutch sailor Rosalin Kuiper, member of Team Malizia in The Ocean Race, British sailor Tom Dawson (from the Extreme Sailing Series) with whom Pierre Casiraghi won the Admiral's Cup in 2025, as well as Italian Moth and foiling specialist Lorenzo De Felice.

Arnaud Jerald, holder in 2025 for the constant weight with bi-fins freediving world record, after a dive to 126 metres, will be sailing on Tuiga for the first time. Also on board is 19-year-old YCM coached sailor Louise Debeaumont, who competes in ILCA 6, and is taking part in her first regatta on the gaff cutter.

This is a crew put together by Pierre Casiraghi to unite different sporting worlds and share the pleasures of traditional sailing with a new generation.

Reflexes honed on IMOCAs, dinghies or F50s do not directly translate to a 1909 Fife design, but it is precisely this diversity of experience that Pierre Casiraghi sought when assembling his crew. "The backgrounds are diverse yet complementary, involving different ways of reading the wind, trimming the boat and anticipating manoeuvres," explains YCM's Vice-President. "On Tuiga, all of that needs to be harnessed for a heavy powerful boat with a lot of inertia. For every manoeuvre, preparation and timing between the helm, rig management and crew movement is critical. It is this collective effort that interests me and which I believe can lead us to victory".

An agenda embracing heritage and competition

The classic yachts begin racing on Tuesday 29 September with the Rolex Trophy, partner of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez and YCM. A day will be dedicated to the Centenary Trophy for boats over a hundred years old on Thursday 1st October.

Tuiga will be returning to waters she knows well and to a fleet where century-old vessels are highly respected and valued. More than 20 of these historic sailing boats are expected this year.

This edition also coincides with 100 years of the International Committee for the Mediterranean (CIM), whose international rating system for classic boats, developed at YCM's instigation, provides the framework for classic regattas. This is a form of living maritime heritage that the Yacht Club de Monaco has been celebrating every two years since 1994 with Monaco Classic Week-La Belle Classe (18th edition: 8-11 September 2027).

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 21 September 2026 - Enhancing the city's appeal as a destination for tourism and major sports and cultural events was a strong focus of the First Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) (2026-2030) and the 2026 Policy Address, announced by Hong Kong's Chief Executive John Lee last week (September 16).

Mr Lee unveiled measures to support the integrated development of culture, sports and tourism which will help develop Hong Kong as an East-meets-West Centre for International Cultural Exchange. These included enriching the supply of high-quality tourism products, while bolstering infrastructure and ancillary facilities as well as deepening engagement with markets in the Chinese Mainland and around the world.

"Hong Kong is blessed with a unique cultural vision, shaped by both Chinese and foreign influences," Mr Lee said. "We will continue to engage and collaborate with Mainland and overseas culture, arts and creative sectors to consolidate Hong Kong's role as a hub for the exchange, collaboration and promotion of culture, arts and creativity. We will also host international cultural and arts exhibitions and performances to attract visitors to Hong Kong."

To support Hong Kong's film industry and promote "Film + Tourism", the Support Unit for Non‑local Film Productions will be set up to provide one‑stop services for Mainland and overseas film crews filming in Hong Kong, attracting the production of more quality films to promote Hong Kong.

Mr Lee noted that the Kai Tak Sports Park has substantially expanded Hong Kong's capacity to host international mega events, with more than 170 sessions of international and local sports and cultural entertainment mega events having been held there so far, attracting over 2.6 million spectators.

Meanwhile, the HKSAR Government will explore the redevelopment of Victoria Park Centre Court and other ancillary facilities into an iconic all‑weather, multi‑purpose venue for holding larger‑scale and higher‑level sports events, as well as performance activities.

Hong Kong's Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Rosanna Law, highlighted the growing trend of multi-destination tourism. Ms Law said that Hong Kong welcomed around 36.67 million visitor arrivals in the first eight months of 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of about 11 per cent.

"The proportion of overseas visitors travelling onwards to the Chinese Mainland via Hong Kong has continued to rise, exceeding 20% in the first half of 2026," Ms Law said.

The HKSAR Government will continue to capitalise on measures introduced by the Central Government to facilitate visits by foreign travellers to the Chinese Mainland, deepen collaboration with Mainland provinces and municipalities, and explore with the country additional immigration facilitation arrangements for international visitors. The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) will promote multi destination travel itineraries to overseas visitors, partner with airlines to roll out relevant tourism products and promotional offers, and intensify publicity overseas.

It will take forward "+ Tourism" joint initiatives, integrating various events with tourism to raise their appeal, aiming to extend visitor stays in Hong Kong and generate value‑adding momentum. Such joint initiatives would integrate tourism with mega events, ecology, heritage, finance and industrial brands.

On developing the yacht economy, Mr Lee said that a variety of new yacht berth projects are now moving ahead, including the tender for the composite development project in Aberdeen comprising a marina, recreational facilities and residential development scheduled for the first half of 2027, and the yacht bay project under the Airport City "SKYTOPIA".

"In addition, starting from May, Hong Kong and Macao yachts may navigate in nine Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area cities, with the requirement for guarantee exempted and under temporary ship nationality registration," Mr Lee said. "The first northbound travel of yachts from Hong Kong set sail in June. The Marine Department will soon sign a memorandum of understanding with the Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration for the implementation of southbound travel for yachts from Guangdong, adding impetus to cross‑boundary leisure consumption."

To further enhance the city's appeal as a Muslim‑friendly destination, the HKTB will extend the Hong Kong Restaurants Halal Certification Funding Scheme to the end of 2027, encouraging the industry to provide more Muslim‑friendly food options.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KAYTUS, a leading provider of AI infrastructure solutions, today announced a major upgrade to MotusAI, its enterprise AI platform. The release empowers enterprises to custom-build, govern, and scale on-premises "Token Factories," deploy AI agents into production, and keep sensitive data within their own infrastructure, all while reducing annual token-related operating costs by 30%-50%.

The Challenge: Scaling AI Agents While Maintaining Control

As enterprise AI advances from simple LLM queries to autonomous multi-agent systems, tokens are becoming the computing currency powering core business workflows. Deploying agentic AI across the enterprise, at scale, brings three critical infrastructure challenges into focus:

Security & Compliance Risks: Sending proprietary source code, customer records, and core business logic through public clouds, LLM APIs can expose sensitive data and create regulatory compliance risks. 

Latency & Service Reliability: Multi-step agent reasoning and tool orchestration trigger unpredictable traffic spikes. Without elastic scheduling, compute resource bottlenecks delay Time to First Token (TTFT) and cause failed requests, compromising service-level agreements and user experience. 

Uncontrolled Token Costs: Unmonitored model usage and missing departmental quotas drive escalating API costs, leaving enterprises without clear spending accountability across business units.

MotusAI: A Solid Foundation for End-to-End Token Lifecycle Management

MotusAI addresses these challenges with a secure, on-premises foundation unifying token production, distribution, and operations.

1. Enterprise Data Sovereignty

MotusAI keeps inference processing, model weights, and context within the enterprise security perimeter, eliminating reliance on public cloud implications. Organizations in financial services, healthcare, and government can scale AI while retaining control over sensitive data and compliance policies.

2. Reliable Service Quality

MotusAI transforms on-premises GPU clusters into a resilient token production engine, sustaining sub-second responsiveness even during peak demand:

High-Speed Multi-Turn Inference: Prefill-Decode (PD) Disaggregation, dynamic KV caching, and dynamic batching reduce TTFT and end-to-end latency, enabling instant-fast and responsive multi-turn interactions. 

Peak-Traffic Resilience: Integrated with inference runtimes such as vLLM and SGLang, MotusAI dynamically scales compute resources based on real-time telemetry of TTFT, Tokens per Second (TPS), and GPU utilization metrics. In production testing, autoscaling activated within 21 seconds of peak traffic, successfully expanded capacity to 16 instances within two minutes, automatically restoring SLA compliance. 

Self-Healing Availability: Real-time cluster monitoring triggers automatic failover when node anomalies occur, maintaining round-the-clock availability for mission-critical agentic AI workflows.

3. Unified API Gateway for Faster AI Development

MotusAI enterprise-grade API gateway streamlines model deployment and access for internal development teams:

Zero-Code Seamless Model Switching: OpenAI-compatible APIs let developers connect, test, and switch between open-source and commercial models without rewriting application code, preserving flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in.

 

Million-Token Context Support: Native long-context processing enables complex document analysis, advanced reasoning, and automated code generation.

4. Precise Governance & Lower Cost

MotusAI delivers end-to-end operational visibility to eliminate waste compute resources.

Real-Time Performance Insights: Interactive dashboards provide tracking of latency, token throughput, and cache efficiency through live TTFT, TPS, and cache hit metrics, helping teams assess service level quality and optimize compute utilization. 

Dynamic Resource Pooling: Fine-grained GPU partitioning and intelligent scheduling across workloads, maximize hardware efficiency, increasing utilization from 68.9% to 95.7% in benchmark tests. 

Multi-Tenant Isolation & Chargeback: Administrators enforce departmental quotas, control access, and set internal billing rates to strengthen spending accountability. Filtering redundant requests enables enterprises to reduce annual token operating costs by 30%?50%.

Proven Successfully in Production Worldwide

MotusAI runs AI workloads in enterprise and commercial production environments across global markets:

Financial Services: An overseas fintech firm replaced its existing platform with MotusAI across eight GPU servers, enabling metered token services with centralized governance for internal risk analysis and security compliance. 

GPU Cloud Providers: A Japanese cloud provider runs its core platform on MotusAI, offering shared GPU resources and end-to-end training and inference workflows to more than 30 enterprise clients. 

NeoCloud Operators: A Southeast Asian provider chose KAYTUS's integrated hardware and software solution over an international competitor, using MotusAI's built-in multi-tenancy and billing capabilities.

"Enterprises don't just need more GPUs-they need the ability to govern, settle, and scale token services reliably," said Darren Cox, GM of KAYTUS Europe. "MotusAI bridges the gap between hardware and token operations, empowering organizations to run AI agents securely within their own data centers."

Advancing the Future of Enterprise AI at Scale

With MotusAI, KAYTUS brings secure, high-throughput production on premises, helping enterprises protect sensitive data, operate independently of cloud APIs, and further increase the GPU utilization. The upgraded MotusA platform enables organizations worldwide to deploy and scale agentic AI securely and efficiently.

New hybrid trading model aims to tackle one of the CFD industry's biggest challenges: trust

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 21 September 2026 - New global trading infrastructure company BDX Markets has officially launched, unveiling a blockchain-powered trading ecosystem designed to bring greater transparency, visibility and participation to the rapidly growing global CFD trading industry.

Targeting key Asian and European markets, BDX Markets is positioning itself at the intersection of traditional online trading infrastructure and next-generation Web3-enabled financial systems.

The launch comes amid explosive growth in retail online trading across Asia, where millions of traders continue to use MT4 and MT5 trading platforms as their primary gateway into global financial markets. Industry analysts estimate the global online trading platform market is expected to exceed US$15 billion in coming years, driven by rising mobile trading participation and digital finance adoption across emerging economies.

BDX, short for Blockchain-Driven eXchange, was founded by traders and blockchain specialists seeking to solve what they believe is one of the industry's oldest and most persistent problems: a lack of transparency around how trading infrastructure operates behind the scenes.

BDX Markets investor Andy Ting said the idea for the platform emerged after years of firsthand experience within the trading industry.

"After years as a trader, I kept seeing the same issue emerge again and again. Traders often had very little visibility into what was happening once orders were placed," Ting said.

"In many parts of the industry, the infrastructure still operates like a black box. Traders can see the front-end experience, but very little of what happens behind it."

"The industry has grown enormously, but trust and transparency have not always evolved at the same pace."

Rather than attempting to replace traditional trading systems entirely, BDX Markets has adopted what it describes as a hybrid infrastructure model.

The platform continues to support the globally dominant MT5 trading environment familiar to millions of traders worldwide, while integrating blockchain-powered transparency and liquidity architecture around the existing trading experience.

The company believes this approach significantly reduces onboarding friction compared with fully decentralised trading platforms that require users to abandon conventional systems altogether.

"We are not trying to force traders to completely change the way they trade," Ting said.

"MT4 and MT5 remain deeply embedded across the global trading industry, particularly throughout Asia. Traders know these systems, they trust them and they are comfortable using them."

"Our approach is evolutionary rather than disruptive. We believe the future is about combining the familiarity and speed of traditional trading infrastructure with the transparency blockchain technology can provide."

At the centre of the BDX ecosystem is what the company calls its "on-chain transparency layer", designed to allow elements of trading activity and liquidity infrastructure to be recorded and referenced through blockchain systems.

The company says this infrastructure is intended to provide greater visibility around execution records and broader ecosystem activity.

BDX Markets has also launched the "BDX Vault", a blockchain-connected liquidity participation ecosystem allowing eligible participants to contribute to the platform's broader liquidity infrastructure.

The company believes this creates a new category within the trading ecosystem, where participants are no longer limited to simply being traders, but can also become stakeholders in the broader infrastructure environment.

"We believe the future trading ecosystem will be more transparent, more connected and more community-driven," Ting said.

"Blockchain infrastructure creates opportunities for greater accountability and visibility while still maintaining the efficiency traders expect from modern platforms."

The launch also comes as Southeast Asia rapidly emerges as one of the world's fastest-growing regions for digital finance adoption, mobile trading participation and blockchain engagement, particularly among younger, digitally-native investors and traders. Southeast Asian countries have become global leaders in crypto and blockchain adoption metrics in recent years.

BDX Markets says its long-term focus is on infrastructure innovation rather than competing purely on spreads, rebates or short-term trading incentives.

Its roadmap includes continued development of blockchain verification systems, internal liquidity infrastructure and scalable trading architecture designed to support global growth.

"We do not believe the future will be purely traditional finance or purely decentralised finance," Ting said.

"We believe the next generation of financial infrastructure will combine the best elements of both worlds."

"That is the future BDX is building toward."

The forum closely follows the differentiated development path of "R&D in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou + Integration in Guangxi + Application in ASEAN", solving problems through technological breakthroughs, gathering momentum through industry-finance linkage, and promoting effectiveness through scenario implementation, to deepen and solidify China-ASEAN AI cooperation.

Technology empowers the opening, creating a new paradigm of human-machine collaboration

The forum kicked off with Guangxi's classic ethnic song "Folk Songs like the Spring River", where human dancers, dancing robots, accompaniment robots, and a digital crowd performing the folk song collaborated across disciplines to perform group collaborations. Relying on millisecond-level cluster scheduling technology, ethnic culture and embodied intelligence were deeply integrated to create an immersive technological audiovisual feast. This forum innovatively adopted a three-party collaborative hosting model of "human host + digital human avatar + intelligent robot". Yang Yanqing, Professor of ShanghaiTech University, coordinated with her digital human avatar and AGIBOT Lingxi X2 to jointly host the forum, empowering the forum scene through technology, which became a major highlight of the event.

BANGKOK, THAIALND - Media OutReach Newswire - 20 September 2026 - ANGEL has been honored with the Sustainable Tech - Food & Beverage award at the Asian Technology Excellence Awards 2026. The award recognizes ANGEL's nationwide commercial water purification deployment for KFC Indonesia, which delivers localized, sustainable water treatment solutions across the archipelago's complex and diverse water conditions.

The Asian Technology Excellence Awards recognise groundbreaking technological projects and innovations across Asia. Presented by Asian Business Review, the programme selects one winner per technology category and industry in each market, with entries judged on uniqueness and innovation, effectiveness and impact, and dynamism.

For ANGEL, the KFC Indonesia project demonstrates a capability that matters across the food and beverage sector. The company begins with on-site water quality testing and assessment, then designs the configuration around actual inlet conditions. That approach is backed by a commercial portfolio that includes microfiltration and UV sterilization, and by local delivery and service teams. It is this combination-not a standard product alone-that allows ANGEL to serve restaurant chains operating across diverse markets.

Sustainability is built into that model in practical ways. ANGEL integrates with existing pre-filtration systems, reducing the need for equipment replacement, water supply modifications and installation waste. Treatment is selected according to actual water quality, so sites receive the configuration they need. The modular design also limits maintenance complexity and supports long-term operating efficiency. For KFC Indonesia, this meant upgrading water quality without interrupting daily operations, while keeping existing infrastructure in service.

The deployment itself follows the same logic. Restaurants with more complex water conditions receive the C11 Microfiltration System together with UV sterilization, while sites with relatively stable inlet water can use UV sterilization alone. This scenario-based approach helps KFC Indonesia maintain consistent water quality across different cities and islands, and reflects how ANGEL works with food and beverage customers more broadly.

Accepting the award, ANGEL's Assistant Vice President Annie Guo said, "This award recognizes the work of our teams and local partners in turning technology into practical value for customers. It reinforces our approach to international growth: understand local needs, deliver the right solution, and support it properly over time. For ANGEL, the responsibility continues after installation."

The KFC project reflects ANGEL's broader commercial strategy. For its global food and beverage business, the project shows that water purification can move beyond a functional utility to become a strategic asset for operators. ANGEL has built a commercial portfolio spanning microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis, enabling tailored solutions for local conditions and customer needs. In markets where complex water conditions could otherwise constrain expansion, these capabilities support safer operations, greater resource efficiency, and more sustainable growth.

About ANGEL

Founded in 1987, ANGEL has become a global leader in water purification. For nearly four decades, the company has dedicated itself to improving drinking water quality through innovation, delivering safe, healthy, and stylish water solutions. ANGEL has earned 11 internationally recognized certifications, including NSF, UL, TUV, SGS, CSA, and HALAL, ensuring compliance with high standards of quality, safety, and environmental responsibility.

In Indonesia, Green SM continues to expand its all-electric mobility options, increase its coverage and enhance service quality, in line with its "5 Green Promises" commitment, contributing to greener transportation and creating positive value for local communities, the environment and the local economy./.

LEPAS ingin menunjukkan bahwa keanggunan tidak hanya tercermin pada kendaraan, tetapi juga pada cara masyarakat terhubung dengan mobilitas dan gaya hidup.

Menjelang acara itu, LEPAS telah memperluas kehadirannya dalam berbagai ajang budaya dan gaya hidup di seluruh dunia sepanjang musim panas ini. Rangkaian kegiatan itu berlangsung di beragam lokasi, mulai dari bioskop bersejarah di Eropa dan ajang berkuda di Asia Tenggara hingga perhelatan fesyen di Afrika Selatan serta ruang seni di London.

Melalui berbagai keterlibatan itu, LEPAS mengeksplorasi bagaimana konsep "mobilitas elegan" dapat menyatu dengan beragam budaya dan gaya hidup.

Satu Visi Keanggunan, Diekspresikan dalam Beragam Budaya

Dalam berbagai ajang itu, LEPAS melampaui perannya sebagai sarana transportasi dan menjadi bagian dari pengalaman estetika serta budaya setempat.

Di ajang berkuda di Malaysia, LEPAS berbagi arena dengan para penunggang muda; di Transilvania International Film Festival, merayakan orisinalitas bersama komunitas kreatif; di Venice International Film Festival, hadir bersama para sineas dari berbagai belahan dunia; serta di London Design Festival, menggali makna keanggunan bersama para desainer.

Masing-masing menghadirkan ekspresi tersendiri dari gaya hidup elegan yang dibentuk oleh konteks budayanya.

Desain mendorong ekspresi diri, teknologi mendukung pengalaman yang tenang, dan ruang mengakomodasi kehidupan sehari-hari. Menerapkan nilai-nilai itu dalam kehidupan nyata membuat pendekatan LEPAS terhadap keanggunan dapat dirasakan langsung oleh pelanggan global.

Mewujudkan Keanggunan di Berbagai Pasar Global

Bagi LEPAS, globalisasi berarti menjaga konsistensi nilai merek, sekaligus memahami budaya lokal, merespons kebutuhan pengguna, serta membangun kepercayaan melalui keterlibatan berkelanjutan.

Di Afrika Selatan, LEPAS mulai menjalin kedekatan dengan masyarakat bahkan sebelum produknya resmi dipasarkan. Melalui ajang olahraga, peragaan busana, kegiatan budaya, dan inisiatif komunitas, LEPAS semakin memperjelas konsep keanggunannya sekaligus membangun kehadiran dan kedekatan dengan masyarakat setempat.

Mulai dari partisipasi dalam kegiatan budaya hingga pengembangan pasar, LEPAS membangun kesadaran akan keanggunan melalui pengalaman gaya hidup, memasuki berbagai pasar melalui peluncuran merek dan produk, serta mendukung mobilitas elegan melalui layanan. Secara keseluruhan, berbagai upaya ini menjadikan gaya hidup elegan semakin relevan di berbagai pasar.

Dari berbagai acara individual hingga keterlibatan di tingkat kota, serta dari kendaraan hingga kehidupan sehari-hari, LEPAS secara bertahap memperluas perannya dari merek otomotif menjadi merek gaya hidup. Tidak hanya berfokus pada cara orang bepergian, LEPAS juga mengeksplorasi bagaimana mobilitas dapat menjadi bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari, dengan teknologi bekerja di balik layar dan keanggunan menjadi pusat perhatian.

Pada Oktober ini, LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week akan menyatukan berbagai eksplorasi itu dalam satu ajang. Acara ini juga akan semakin mempererat hubungan antara pengguna global, mitra, dan tamu lintas industri melalui mobilitas dan gaya hidup.

Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa 74,6% responden meyakini SCO menawarkan jalur kerja sama yang pragmatis di antara negara-negara dengan sistem yang berbeda. Selain itu, SCO dinilai berperan sebagai kekuatan penting dalam memajukan jenis baru hubungan internasional dan komunitas dengan masa depan bersama bagi umat manusia.

Tahun ini menandai peringatan ke-25 berdirinya SCO. Selama 25 tahun terakhir, volume perdagangan antara Tiongkok dan negara-negara anggota SCO lainnya meningkat dari USD 12,1 miliar pada 2001 menjadi USD 523,5 miliar pada 2025. Sejumlah proyek besar terus menunjukkan kemajuan, di antaranya Jalur Kereta Api TiongkokKirgizstanUzbekistan, Bank Pembangunan SCO, dan Pipa Gas TiongkokAsia Tengah.

Selain itu, 76,2% responden berpendapat bahwa Inisiatif Sabuk dan Jalan (Belt and Road Initiative) yang digagas Tiongkok telah membentuk lanskap baru pembangunan global yang saling terhubung dan terintegrasi.

Adapun 73,5% responden mencatat bahwa Inisiatif Tata Kelola Global menunjukkan arah bagi negara-negara Kawasan Selatan (Global South) untuk turut serta dalam reformasi sistem tata kelola global.

Kini, SCO telah tumbuh menjadi organisasi kerja sama kawasan yang komprehensif dengan cakupan wilayah terluas, populasi terbesar, dan potensi pembangunan yang sangat besar di dunia. Sebagai kekuatan utama yang mendorong transformasi sistem tata kelola global, SCO memainkan peran yang kian penting dalam mengamalkan multilateralisme sejati, memperjuangkan dunia multipolar yang setara dantertata, serta globalisasi ekonomi yang inklusifbagisemua pihak, dan telah menarik perhatian internasional yang luas.

Menurut survei tersebut, 89,6% responden menyerukan agar semua negara berpartisipasi dalam urusan global atas dasar kesetaraan dan bersama-sama membentuk aturan serta tatanan internasional. Mereka berharap SCO dapat memberikan pengaruh yang lebih besar di tiga bidang utama: infrastruktur dan energi, kerja sama keamanan kawasan, serta lingkungan dan perubahan iklim.

Survei ini, yang mencakup negara-negara maju utama dan negara-negara di Global Selatan, menyasar masyarakat umum berusia 18 tahun ke atas, dengan sampel yang disesuaikan dengan sensus nasionalberdasarkan distribusi usiadangender di masing-masing negara.

WUHU, China, Sept. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2026 marks LEPAS's "Year of Delivery." Following its European debut during Milan Design Week in April this year, the LEPAS L8 is available for pre-order in the UK, Italy, Spain and other European markets, while LEPAS L6 and LEPAS L4 deliveries progress in Southeast Asia.

SHANGHAI, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 September 2026 - Huawei today announced the Peerium Computing Architecture, a new computing architecture for the AI era. The architecture enables processors at the million scale to work as one computer, meeting the ever-growing demand for AI compute.

The Peerium Computing Architecture achieves strong scaling to the million-processor level through nested parallelism, unified memory addressing, and peer interconnect.

It breaks through the Turing paradigm with the introduction of Nested BSP (Nested Bulk Synchronous Parallel), extends the von Neumann single-machine architecture, and overturns the master?slave architecture that has prevailed for decades, so that a million processors truly become one larger computer.

UnifiedBus (UB) is the key interconnect technology that makes the Peerium Computing Architecture possible. Built on a single open protocol, UB is a high-speed bus that scales without limit to connect CPUs, NPUs, memory, SSDs, network interface cards (NICs), and switches. With UB, peer interconnect is achieved across compute, storage, and networking.

The Atlas 950 SuperPoD and SuperPoD-based SuperClusters are the first-generation product built on the Peerium Computing Architecture. An Atlas 950 SuperCluster with 256,000 cards is already being deployed, and the Atlas 960 system based on near-packaged optics (NPO) is currently under testing.

Eric Xu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, said, "In the AI era, Huawei is drawing on the Peerium Computing Architecture we pioneered to continuously build the SuperPoDs and SuperPod-based SuperClusters that meet customer needs for training and inference, making computing power available everywhere and intelligence accessible to all."

CANN has moved to sustained, community-driven open-source development. Ascend now spans over 90 leading third-party open-source projects and is officially supported as a PyTorch accelerator backend.

SHANGHAI, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 September 2026 - HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 kicked off today in Shanghai. The first keynote of the date was by David Wang, the Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman at Huawei.

In his speech (Advancing the Agentic World, Building a Solid Silicon Foundation), Wang highlighted the work the company is doing alongside industry stakeholders to build powerful AI infrastructure, lay a solid computing foundation, and address the challenges and opportunities in the intelligent world to come.

AI is sweeping the world faster than any previous technological revolution. Today, foundation model parameters are rapidly approaching 10 trillion, and are projected to exceed 100 trillion by 2030. AI agents can now work on the same task continuously, for hours on end. By 2030, they will be able to handle tasks that span months.

In China alone, the average number of inference tokens consumed every day has surged to around 500 trillion, and is expected to reach quintillions (1018) by 2030.

On-device AI is also advancing rapidly. On-device models for smartphones have expanded from three billion parameters in 2024 to 30 billion today, and will push toward hundreds of billions in the near future.

These trends will set a much higher bar for the scale, performance, and reliability of underlying technical systems. Only by building powerful AI infrastructure can the industry lay a solid foundation for the future intelligent world.

An intelligent world is approaching - and faster than ever. To lead the charge into this new world, Huawei is laser-focused on building out AI infrastructure - the silicon foundation for the future to come.

In particular, Huawei's AI strategy is centered on computing power, with a focus on monetizing hardware. The company is also sharpening its competitive edge through systems and architectural innovation. Centering these efforts on SuperPoDs and SuperClusters, the company aims to build a solid computing foundation and offer a new option for the world.

Huawei is a major contributor to open computing ecosystems, and will continue to support native training for mainstream foundation models on its systems, as well as supporting a vast range of models and applications.

For customers, Huawei provides flexible on-premises and cloud compute solutions for its customers to accelerate intelligent transformation across industries.

With diverse forms of compute, including solutions for micro-, low-tier, mid-range, and massive computing power - Huawei is driving the expansion of on-device and in-vehicle AI, making intelligence truly ubiquitous.

Additionally, Huawei is dedicated to building next-generation communications networks to bring readily available compute and intelligence to every person, home, and organization.

SuperPoDs gain broad consensus, with adoption growing in industries, academia, and research institutes

To date, over 1,000 Atlas 900 A3 SuperPoDs have been deployed, and Atlas 950 SuperPoD is seeing large-scale commercial use. While adoption continues to grow, SuperPoDs have gained broad acceptance across industry, academia, and research institutions as a key direction for AI infrastructure. Currently, a SuperPoD is explicitly defined as a computing system in which multiple computing nodes are tightly coupled through high-speed interconnect protocols, featuring unified memory addressing across physical nodes ? functioning like a single logical computer.

SuperPoDs are the go-to choice for AI infrastructure buildout. Right now, 100k-NPU computing clusters have become the baseline for training SOTA models. However, traditional server architectures result in intra-cluster communications that account for over 40% of total training time, severely constraining Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU). Simulation results from Huawei's Markov Lab show that a 100k-NPU cluster built with 4k-NPU SuperPoDs can deliver a 2.75x increase in MFU compared to a 100k-NPU cluster composed of 8-NPU servers.

11-chip UnifiedBus-powered portfolio for SuperPoDs and SuperClusters; the Atlas 960E SuperPoD ?the industry's first to use NPO

The Ascend series of chips is the most critical component in Huawei's 11-chip UnifiedBus-powered portfolio for SuperPoDs and SuperClusters. Development on Ascend 960 has exceeded the company's expectations, with performance doubling as planned. Ascend 960DT will be available in Q1 2027, three quarters ahead of the company's original roadmap. And the Ascend 960PR will be ready in Q3 2027, one quarter ahead of schedule.

"We're evolving our Ascend chip series on a one-generation-a-year cycle," said Wang in his keynote. "In 2028 and 2029, we will roll out the Ascend 970 and 980 chips, respectively. Thanks to the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, not only will their compute specifications continue to double, but you can also expect to see huge improvements across the board in terms of memory bandwidth, memory capacity, interconnect bandwidth, and more."

In addition to Ascend chips, Huawei has also developed a complete portfolio of chips for AI infrastructure, based on UnifiedBus, delivering key capabilities that cover computing, interconnect, storage, and management.

"SuperPoDs are designed to coordinate multiple NPUs through interconnect," continued Wang. "We have developed a next-generation optical interconnect product based on near-packaged optics (NPO): the High-density Optical-interconnect-Node Engine (Hi-ONE)." Built on Huawei's proprietary technologies, Hi-ONE has a multi-physics design for balancing optical, mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, and thermal performance, realizing a transmission capacity of 7.2 Tbit/s per single engine.

"This is the industry's first NPO product ready for mass production, delivering the largest transmission capacity. It is also the industry's first NPO product with a built-in light source."

This product combines high bandwidth and high reliability with low latency and low power consumption. This, coupled with UnifiedBus, will make it far easier to scale up SuperPoD interconnect systems.

Recently, Huawei submitted an implementation agreement (IA) on NPO to the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF), a standards organization. The response from numerous industry partners has been widely positive. Huawei will continue its efforts to further refine the NPO industry ecosystem.

Using Ascend 960 chips and Hi-ONE, Huawei has developed the industry's first NPO-based SuperPoDs: the Atlas 960E SuperPoDs. A single Atlas 960E SuperPoD can scale up to 4,096 NPUs, delivering 8 EFLOPS of FP8 compute performance, with up to 1 petabyte of HBM capacity. With 5,500 Hi-ONE units, this SuperPoD doesn't need the 48,000 800G optical modules that would traditionally be required to connect all the NPUs. This cuts power consumption by over 550 kilowatts, while doubling the system's fault-free operating time, achieving 99.8% system availability.

Combining the upgraded TaiShan 950 SuperPoD and context memory storage to power an ultrascale cluster with 1 million NPUs

As SOTA models scale to 10 trillion parameters, training and inference can no longer rely on a single AI server or AI SuperPoD ? they require a more complex computing system. This system includes AI SuperPoDs, general-purpose SuperPoDs, and an interconnect system that features peer-to-peer interconnect and zero protocol conversion. For inference, including a petabyte-scale KV cache cluster is also a must.

To meet these demands, Huawei has fully upgraded its TaiShan 950 SuperPoD. Powered by UnifiedBus all-optical networking, this new SuperPoD supports up to 4,096 nodes with a unified memory pool of up to 256 TB. This setup significantly improves agent performance. For sandbox-intensive workloads, startup speeds for 100,000 sandboxes are 30 times faster than traditional servers, and sandbox density can be improved by an additional 25%. For vector search across 10 billion x 1,000-dimensional vectors, this SuperPoD delivers twice the search efficiency of traditional servers.

Huawei has also launched OceanStor M900 ? a UnifiedBus-powered context memory storage cluster that delivers multi-tier KV caching for agent-heavy and longer-context workloads. Designed for agentic inference, this cluster supports one-hop direct access and provides a petabyte-scale KV cache for the L3.5 layer. OceanStor M900 also uses hybrid media and an optimized retention algorithm, extending SSD read/write lifespan by 16-fold. This ensures a higher KV cache hit rate alongside long-term stability and reliability from the ground up.

Combining its strengths in computing and communications, Huawei has built a brand-new agentic SuperCluster to accelerate training and inference for 10-trillion-parameter models. This SuperCluster uses UnifiedBus to consolidate multiple interconnect protocols into a single unified protocol, significantly reducing protocol conversion overhead. This delivers peer-to-peer interconnect between subsystems like Ascend SuperPoDs, Kunpeng SuperPoDs, and KV cache clusters. The SuperCluster also comes with a multi-tier, high-bandwidth, and large-capacity storage system that enables direct single-hop access for all KV cache tiers.

With a two-tier, four-plane Clos architecture, the SuperCluster can interconnect up to 512,000 NPUs. When combined with a multi-rail topology, this cluster can support up to one million NPUs.

One of Huawei's core strategies: Going open source and open system to build out computing ecosystems

The Kunpeng ecosystem is driving digital and intelligent innovation across a wide range of industries. To date, the Kunpeng ecosystem has attracted over 4.16 million developers and more than 7,200 ecosystem partners from around the globe. The community currently supports over 560 open-source projects worldwide. openEuler has seen more than 20 million installations, securing the largest share in China's server OS market.

The Ascend ecosystem has reached a new inflection point. The Compute Architecture for Neural Networks (CANN) is the foundation of the Ascend ecosystem. Today, CANN has moved to sustained, community-driven open-source development, which has brought the platform from usable to user-friendly.

External CANN developers now comprise 61% of all CANN developers, outnumbering internal developers for the first time. With over 5,200 monthly active developers, the CANN community has become the most vibrant open-source community in China. What's more, over 40 models have been natively pre-trained on Ascend and CANN, making it the only proven domestic stack capable of model pre-training.

Ascend now supports over 90 leading third-party open-source projects, including PyTorch, Triton, vLLM, and veRL. With strong support from the Linux Foundation, Ascend is the first official Chinese compute platform on PyTorch's website. This gives developers around the world ready access to new innovations in the Ascend ecosystem.

Diverse forms of compute for ubiquitous on-device and in-vehicle AI

AI is expanding faster into all kinds of devices. To deliver an unparalleled AI experience across all scenarios, Huawei will continue to strengthen capabilities in four key areas:

First, Huawei will combine Kirin and Ascend chips to drive self-reliance and autonomy in on-device compute.

Second, Huawei will bring together Pangu models and third-party models to make on-device intelligence better and easier to use.

Third, HarmonyOS, as an Agent OS for ubiquitous intelligence, will be completely redefined from the ground up ? spanning system architecture, how it operates, and interaction logic - to enable human-agent collaboration.

Fourth, Huawei will keep cultivating a diverse AI ecosystem, which is the foundation for its system agent Celia to thrive.

Huawei plans to build four on-device computing platforms: for AI phones, AI PCs, vehicles, and homes. Through cross-device and device-cloud compute synergy, Huawei will be able to provide distributed swarm intelligence, delivering integrated and continuous intelligent services across personal mobile, office, vehicle, and home spaces, ultimately bringing intelligence to every person and every space.

Building next-generation communications that prioritize readily available compute, because without networks, all compute is siloed

Next-generation communications networks are crucial for fully unleashing the value of AI compute. We are driving the upgrade to networks that, in addition to connecting people, will prioritize delivering readily available compute. These networks will be underpinned by 5G-A/6G, 10-gigabit optical networks, and multi-tier, low-latency bearer networks, delivering intelligent connectivity across data centers, the edge, and devices.

Concluding his keynote, Wang expressed that AI "may well be the final technological revolution in human history," noting that its impact is deeper and broader, and coming faster than anyone could have ever imagined. "No single company," he said, "can build an intelligent world alone."

He stressed Huawei's ongoing commitments moving forward:

Huawei will remain committed to building a solid silicon foundation to make computing power readily accessible to all.

The company will continue to open source its software, helping developers unleash their full potential.

It will continue to embrace a wide range of models and applications, unlocking value in every form.

"And we will continue to work together to drive shared success, growing together with our customers and partners around the world," Wang concluded. "Let's work together to build a fully connected, intelligent world."

Themed Advancing the Agentic World, HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 will delve into AI across three dimensions: strategy, technology, and ecosystems. You can expect an in-depth look at our latest strategic initiatives, and we'll also be unveiling our all-new digital and intelligent infrastructure products, scenario-specific solutions for industries, and development tools. The event will run from September 17 to 19 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center and Shanghai Expo Center.

*New data revealed that healthcare providers prioritize drowsiness risk, duration of available data demonstrating long-term response and drug-drug interaction profile when selecting a treatment for tardive dyskinesia (TD) in patients aged ≥55 years

*Across all four patient profiles, AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) was most closely related to the attributes most valued by healthcare providers

*These findings from Teva detail specific healthcare provider preferences around tolerability and efficacy, while reinforcing the importance of treatment for TD

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced new data from a discrete choice experiment highlighting preferred healthcare provider (HCP) treatment attributes when selecting a VMAT2 inhibitor for the treatment of TD in older patients (aged ≥55 years). The new findings were presented at Psych Congress, held September 15 - 19, 2026, in New Orleans, LA.

"At the heart of every treatment decision for tardive dyskinesia is a patient looking for improvement in their burdensome physical symptoms, and the impact those symptoms have on daily life," said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. "At Teva, we're committed to developing therapies and delivering clinical solutions for TD communities that help eliminate challenges to treat. Offering a treatment like AUSTEDO, with attributes healthcare providers value, is essential to delivering effective, patient-centered care."

HCP Preference Driven by Tolerability and Efficacy

In a discrete choice experiment (DCE), 489 HCPs representing a variety of specialties prioritized key attributes driving their TD treatment preferences for patients aged ≥55 years. Participants prioritized somnolence risk and short-term Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) improvement, followed by dose formulation, drug-drug interaction risk and demonstrated long-term response, as the key drivers for VMAT2 inhibitor selection across four different patient profiles.

Applying these preferences to the available VMAT2 inhibitor treatment options, AUSTEDO had the highest predicted choice probability across all patient profiles; this preference was mainly driven by somnolence risk, duration of available data demonstrating long-term response, and drug-drug interaction.

Data from the DCE revealed:

HCPs identified somnolence (drowsiness) risk (accounting for 26.8% - 36.2% of decision-making weight) and short-term symptom improvement (24.4% - 29.5%) as their top priorities when evaluating VMAT2 inhibitors for TD treatment, followed by dose formulation (16.7% - 20.2%) and drug-drug interaction risk (14.4% - 17.3%).

HCPs distinctly adapt their prescribing criteria based on patient presentation. The risk of somnolence was prioritized higher for outpatients (ex-long-term care) (up to 36.2% decision weight) than for those being treated in long-term care settings (up to 29.5%).

Driven directly by these clinical priorities, HCPs were predicted to prefer AUSTEDO across all four patient profiles.

"Selecting a treatment for those living with tardive dyskinesia involves weighing a range of factors, from symptom improvement and tolerability to practical considerations," said Gustavo Alva, MD, board-certified psychiatrist. "By shedding light on the attributes healthcare professionals prioritize, these findings may support more informed, individualized treatment discussions and provide healthcare providers with greater confidence in selecting a TD treatment that addresses immediate patient needs and supports long-term treatment success."

Persistent Burden of Untreated TD

Also presented at Psych Congress, a new interim analysis from the IMPACT-TD Registry examined changes in TD severity and quality of life for individuals with probable TD who remained untreated with any VMAT2 inhibitor for 24 months. TD burden persisted, with approximately 89%?96% of participants experiencing at least a mild global impact of TD, including 60%-74% who experienced moderate-to-severe impact. Most patients (55%-69%) reported stable or worsening TD severity relative to baseline, with no evidence of spontaneous resolution. Depression and anxiety scores also fluctuated over the two-year period without sustained improvement.

Together, these findings reinforce the critical need for proactive, effective management of TD. By understanding the enduring consequences of untreated TD in the real-world, as well as the specific treatment attributes HCPs value most, like early symptom control and tolerability, Teva remains deeply committed to advancing care, empowering HCPs and driving long-term adherence for patients managing this complex condition.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION?

Depression and Suicidality in Patients with Huntington's Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington's disease. Balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, and families of the risk of depression and suicidality and instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are contraindicated in patients who are suicidal, and in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression.?

Contraindications: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are contraindicated in patients with Huntington's disease who are suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are also contraindicated in: patients with hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI therapy; and patients taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine.? ?

Clinical Worsening and Adverse Events in Patients with Huntington's Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity. Prescribers should periodically re-evaluate the need for AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO in their patients by assessing the effect on chorea and possible adverse effects.?

QTc Prolongation: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may prolong the QT interval, but the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant when AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO is administered within the recommended dosage range. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.??

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex reported in association with drugs that reduce dopaminergic transmission, has been observed in patients receiving tetrabenazine. The risk may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. The management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO; intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring; and treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems.? ?

Akathisia, Agitation, and Restlessness: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, and restlessness. The risk of akathisia may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops akathisia, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy.?

Parkinsonism: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause parkinsonism in patients with Huntington's disease or tardive dyskinesia. Parkinsonism has also been observed with other VMAT2 inhibitors. The risk of parkinsonism may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops parkinsonism, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy.?

Sedation and Somnolence: Sedation is a common dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery, until they are on a maintenance dose of AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO and know how the drug affects them. Concomitant use of alcohol or other sedating drugs may have additive effects and worsen sedation and somnolence.?

BEIJING, Sept. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global governance has once again entered the "SCO moment". On the occasion of the 2026 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit, a public‑opinion survey conducted by CGTN in collaboration with Renmin University of China through the Institute for International Communication in the New Era, among 13,707 respondents across 48 countries worldwide shows that 74.6% of respondents believe the SCO offers a pragmatic path for cooperation among countries with different systems and serves as an important force for advancing a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of the SCO. Over the past 25 years, trade volume between China and other SCO member states has risen from USD 12.1 billion in 2001 to USD 523.5 billion in 2025. Projects including the China‑Kyrgyzstan‑Uzbekistan Railway, the SCO Development Bank and the China‑Central Asia Gas Pipeline keep moving forward. The survey indicates global respondents hold positive views on the SCO's pragmatic cooperation outcomes across various sectors over its 25‑year history.

They note that the organization's international influence has grown markedly in three priority areas: trade facilitation, investment and financing cooperation, as well as cultural exchanges and tourism. Among respondents from SCO member states and dialogue partners, 75.4% state that the "Shanghai Spirit" provides a cooperation framework rooted in mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations and pursuit of common development. Meanwhile, 71.7% of respondents believe the SCO has amplified the voice of Global South countries and advanced the building of a fairer and more reasonable global governance system.

As a founding member of the SCO, China has consistently linked its own development to that of the SCO, and to the aspiration of peoples of all member states for a better life. To date, China's investment in other member states has kept expanding. In 2025, China's direct investment across all industries stood at USD 3.3 billion, covering oil and gas, mineral resources, infrastructure, new energy, automobiles, chemicals and other sectors. China has also invested in building more than 30 economic and trade cooperation zones, helping recipient countries boost industrial capacity and driving local economic growth and employment.

Survey respondents spoke highly of China's philosophy and contributions to building an SCO community with a shared future, and widely recognized China's most remarkable contributions in three dimensions: advancing regional economic cooperation, promoting security cooperation among member states, and providing development assistance and financial support. In addition, 76.2% of respondents hold that China's Belt and Road Initiative has fostered a new landscape of interconnected and integrated global development; 73.5% note that the Global Governance Initiative points the way for Global South countries to participate in reform of the global governance system.

Today, the SCO has grown into a comprehensive regional cooperation organization boasting the world's largest territorial coverage, biggest population and enormous development potential. As a key force driving transformation of the global governance system, the SCO is playing an increasingly vital role in practicing true multilateralism, advocating equal‑ and‑orderly world multipolarization and inclusive‑for‑all economic globalization, and has drawn wide international attention. According to the survey, 89.6% of respondents call on all countries to participate in global affairs on an equal footing and jointly shape international rules and order. They expect the SCO to exert greater influence in three major fields: infrastructure and energy, regional security cooperation, and environment and climate change.

Covering major developed countries and Global South nations, this survey targeted ordinary people aged 18 and above, with samples aligned with national census‑based age‑and‑gender distributions in respective countries.
