CGTN: Dialogue, development and shared prosperity Tian Wei, CGTN host, and experts at the panel discussion under the theme “Dialogue on Global Governance and Asia-Pacific Shared Prosperity,” Beijing, capital of China, October 25. /CMG BEIJING, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As geopolitical tensions continue to escalate worldwide, leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) are gathering in South Korea for the 2025 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, a pivotal moment as the region navigates deepening global economic uncertainty. Ahead of the meeting, China Media Group (CMG), together with Yonsei University and YTN, held a panel discussion in Beijing on October 25 under the theme “Dialogue on Global Governance and Asia-Pacific Shared Prosperity.” Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said countries’ interests are increasingly intertwined, requiring stronger shared governance, with cooperation and mutual benefit as essential. He noted China’s Global Governance Initiative (GGI) offers Chinese solutions for a fairer global system. Tengku Zafrul Aziz, Malaysia’s minister of investment, trade and industry, stressed that rules, trust and inclusiveness underpin growth for all nations. Ruben Oyarzo, member of Chile’s Chamber of Deputies, affirmed Chile’s commitment to Asia-Pacific development and building mutual trust. Yoon Dong-sup, president of Yonsei University, added that addressing climate change, innovation, aging populations, and economic uncertainty depends on dialogue, cooperation, and collective planning for a sustainable future. As multilateralism faces unprecedented challenges, China has continued to act, notably through its Global Governance Initiative, one of four major global initiatives it has proposed for the world. Panelists praised this approach and underscored the importance of cooperation, engagement and mutual trust, pointing to China’s economic resilience as a stabilizing force for global growth. All participants agreed that, amid today’s fragile global economy, cooperation, trust, transparency and innovation are key to sustaining Asia-Pacific growth. David Perez

SIAD Macchine Impianti Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics Center SIAD’s advanced control technology enables continuous performance analysis, optimization, and remote troubleshooting. THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SIAD Americas LLC, announced today that SIAD has been selected to provide an air separation unit (ASU) for the Pacifico Mexinol ultra-low carbon Methanol project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The project, led by SIAD Macchine Impianti, will leverage SIAD’s global execution model, with engineering support from its centers in Bergamo, Italy; The Woodlands, Texas; and Hangzhou, China. Equipment will be sourced from the United States, China, and Europe, with fabrication carried out at SIAD facilities in Hangzhou, China and at the new facility in Porto Marghera (Venice), Italy. The ASU will have a production capacity of approximately 3,500 metric tons per day (MTPD) of high-purity oxygen, making it a critical component for the production of ultra-low carbon methanol. It will supply the large volumes of oxygen required for the project’s gasification and carbon capture processes. “We are proud to partner with Transition Industries and contribute our expertise to what will be one of the world’s most sustainable chemical facilities,” said Ed Hotard, Chairman and CEO of SIAD Americas. “Our selection reflects the strength of SIAD’s global engineering team and our commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers.” Paolo Ferrario, General Manager of SIAD Macchine Impianti, added, “Being chosen for this landmark project is a testament to SIAD’s global engineering capabilities and our proven technology in large-scale air separation.” Once operational in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is expected to be the largest standalone ultra-low-carbon chemical production facility in the world and one of the world’s largest producers of green hydrogen and green methanol. Transition Industries is jointly developing Pacifico Mexinol with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. Rommel

ALBANY, N.Y., Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Curia Global, Inc. (Curia), a leading global research, development and manufacturing organization, today announced the completion of a $4 million investment to upgrade its two API aseptic suites in Valladolid, Spain. The investment aligns with the latest EU GMP Annex 1 standards and reinforces Curia’s longstanding commitment to regulatory excellence and product quality. Annex 1 provides general guidance for the design and control of facilities, equipment, systems and procedures used for the manufacture of all sterile products, applying the principles of Quality Risk Management (QRM) to prevent microbial, particulate and endotoxin contamination in the final product. The enhancements support upgrades to Valladolid’s infrastructure and technology. Curia used innovative tools to take advantage of new possibilities derived from the application of an enhanced process understanding. The bulk of the investment was dedicated to updating the site’s equipment, including the installation of new isolators, along with modernizations to HVAC, pharmaceutical panels, automation, sterilization in place and general utilities. Transitioning to a fully closed system was the primary driver of these upgrades, with the goal of supporting process and product safety and preventing microbiological contamination at every step of production. Additionally, ergonomic improvements for operators were key to increasing operational safety, along with the implementation of additional automatic controls in line with stricter data integrity policies, as described in 21 CFR Part 11. “Quality and compliance are integral to how we operate,” said Philip Macnabb, CEO of Curia. “The new Annex 1 requirements align with our proactive approach to quality control. We always strive to offer our customers the highest level of assurance when it comes to compliance and our ability to deliver high-quality sterile APIs at scale. Customers depend on us for reliability, precision and trust. With these improvements at Valladolid, they can feel

MADRID, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Neinor successfully raised €140mn through an accelerated bookbuild offering (ABB) through the issuance of 8,900,190 new shares at €15.73/sh. Orion, Neinor’s largest shareholder, subscribed €100mn, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the company and confidence on its equity efficient growth strategy. An additional €40mn was subscribed by existing shareholders who continue to support the company following the €229mn ABB successfully executed in June. Spain remains one of the safest residential markets globally, being structurally undersupplied, underleveraged and offering compelling long-term growth opportunities in a highly fragmented market. Over the past 2.5 years Neinor, and its strategic partners, have closed land acquisitions worth more than +€2,700mn to develop c.31,000 housing units targeting opportunistic returns. With the acquisition of AEDAS fully funded, Neinor expects to use net proceeds to pursue further growth opportunities in Build-to-Sell and the emerging Alternative Living segments. Borja García-Egotxeaga, CEO of Neinor Homes, commented: “We are very pleased with the outcome of this transaction and the continued support from Orion, which once again demonstrates its confidence in Neinor’s long-term strategy and growth potential, as well as from institutional investors who have reaffirmed their backing. The proceeds will allow us to continue expanding in the most attractive segments of the Spanish market while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital deployment.” Jordi Argemí, Deputy CEO and CFO, stated: “This capital raise further strengthens Neinor’s balance sheet and enhances our capacity to execute on the pipeline currently under analysis. The participation of our cornerstone shareholder alongside other long-term institutional investors underscores the strong confidence in Neinor’s strategy, execution, and value creation potential. Following its €50mn equity investment in Neinor’s asset management business in 2023, Orion’s participation in this transaction represents a renewed show of commitment to the company and its long-term vision.” * For the
