A man acting suspiciously around parcels at a Glen Innes property has delivered himself a court summons.

On Wednesday morning, Police received information about the man hanging around a residential unit.

Both the homeowner and neighbours reported the man had no reason to be there, Auckland City East Area Prevention Manager Inspector Rachel Dolheguy says.

“He was allegedly examining courier packages left outside the property, and neighbours had challenged the unknown man about what he was doing,” she says.

“Our staff soon got on scene and spoke with this man further, who offered unfounded reasons for being there.”

The 44-year-old man has been summonsed to the Auckland District Court for unlawfully being in an enclosed yard.

Police applaud residents’ vigilance in reporting the activity straight away.

“Courier packages are irresistible for opportunistic offenders.

“It’s great to see residents keeping an eye out for their neighbours, and taking action by reporting what has happening straight away,” Inspector Dolheguy says.

ENDS.

NZ–UAE Trade Agreement enters into force today, unlocking billions in new opportunities

0

Source: New Zealand Government

The New Zealand–United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) has officially entered into force today, opening the door to one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, Agriculture, Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay announced.

“The NZ–UAE CEPA is New Zealand’s fastest-ever trade agreement. Negotiated in just over four months, it delivers up to an estimated $42 million in tariff savings per year for Kiwi exporters and the wider economy,” Mr McClay says. 

“From today, 98.5 per cent of New Zealand’s exports to the UAE will enter duty-free, rising to 99 per cent by the start of 2027. This is one of the best goods market access packages we have ever secured.”

Key goods such as dairy ($766m), red meat ($52.5m), apples ($34.9m), kiwifruit ($7.8m), seafood ($15.5m), forestry products ($9.4m), and honey ($5.2m) will all enter duty free from today. 

The UAE is one of New Zealand’s largest markets in the Middle East and a gateway into a US$500 billion economy that is growing and diversifying rapidly. With two-way trade already worth $1.44 billion a year the CEPA creates a platform to go much further.

The UAE imports 90 per cent of its food, meaning strong new opportunities for New Zealand’s world-class producers. 

“Beyond goods this agreement creates a platform for two-way investment, digital trade, and services opportunities that will generate jobs, lift incomes, and boost the economy for all New Zealanders,” Mr McClay says.

“The CEPA strengthens our relationship with a key Gulf partner and takes us a step closer to the Government’s goal of doubling the value of New Zealand’s exports in 10 years.”

Finding Stillness in a Chaotic World: “Peace in Solitude” a solo exhibition by Bongkojthip Bhirombhakdi

0

Source: Media Outreach

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 August 2025 – Artist Bongkojthip Bhirombhakdi (Bua) invites audiences to step into a sanctuary of calm with her latest solo exhibition, Peace in Solitude, on view at Mini Xspace Gallery from August 2 – September 27, 2025.

Following her previous series Journey to Tranquility, which explored a personal quest for inner peace through imagined natural landscapes from seas, skies and mountains to trees and various ecosystems, Bongkojthip now turns inward, focusing on the profound experience of arriving at a place of stillness – a state where the mind becomes quiet, calm and receptive. Through her new works, she captures the quiet clarity that emerges when solitude is embraced, and peace arises naturally from within.

In this series, Bongkojthip continues her use of the wet-on-wet technique but shifts her approach by working directly with her own hands rather than brushes. This tactile method allows pigments and water to flow more organically, mirroring the spontaneity and unpredictability of nature while embodying an act of mindfulness. The result is a body of work that feels both intimate and expansive, inviting viewers into the artist’s meditative process.

“For me, solitude is not emptiness. It is fullness. It is where the noise quiets down. You, then, begin to embrace the present moment and that’s when peace is no longer something to seek. It begins to gently surface. My hope is that viewers can feel this stillness through the work and carry a little of it with them,” says Bongkojthip Bhirombhakdi.

Peace in Solitude – A Solo Exhibition by Bongkojthip Bhirombhakdi (Bua)

Place: Mini Xspace Gallery, Fl. 1, Bangkok, Thailand

Date: August 2 – September 27, 2025

Time: Mon–Sat, 10.00–17.00

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 August 2025 – In celebration of French creativity and cultural exchange, the Alliance Française de Hong Kong (AFHK) and Tramplus, a sister company of Hong Kong Tramways, have partnered to launch the Tram Design Competition, transforming one of the city’s most iconic modes of transport into a moving canvas of French-inspired imagination.

This initiative marks a new chapter in a long-standing partnership between AFHK and Hong Kong Tramways, who have collaborated for years to bring French cultural events to the streets of Hong Kong—most notably the Hong Kong French Film Festival, which has become a beloved annual tradition of many cinephiles. The Tram Design Competition builds on this legacy, inviting secondary school students to engage with French aesthetics through art and design.

The collaboration between AFHK and Tramplus reflects a shared commitment to enriching the learning experience of Hong Kong’s youth through creativity, language, and cultural immersion. By combining AFHK’s 70+ years of expertise in French education and cultural promotion with Tramplus’s innovative approach to community placemaking, the project offers students a unique opportunity to explore French culture in a dynamic and creative format.

The competition, themed “Découverte de la Beauté Française” (Discovering French Beauty), invited secondary school students to design tram exteriors inspired by French art, fashion, innovation, and heritage. The winning design, created by Li Pui Hiu from St. Mark’s School, will be unveiled on September 8 at 10:00 am at the Whitty Street Tram Depot, in the presence of Ms. Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau. The tram will circulate through the city for four weeks, showcasing the student’s creative artwork to the public.

Tramcar Launch Ceremony:
Date: September 8, 2025,
Time: 10:00 am
Venue: Whitty Street Tram Depot
Guest of honour: Mrs. Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau

Forty finalists were selected for their originality and insight, and were invited to participate in AFHK’s French Taster Program on August 14. This initiative complements AFHK’s broader mission to promote French language learning in Hong Kong, especially as the DELF Junior exam becomes the stipulated assessment for French under HKDSE Category C subjects starting in 2025. As the only DELF DALF accredited examination center in Hong Kong, AFHK plays a pivotal role in preparing students for internationally recognized qualifications.

This September, AFHK is introducing an exclusive Yearly Beginner Adults Membership offer designed for beginner learners. Students can now access all four sub-levels of the A1 French curriculum for only HK$7,000—less than half the regular price of HK$14,000. The initiative underscores AFHK’s dedication to making French language education more affordable and inclusive for the broader community. Registration is now open, register to enjoy up to 50% off with the Yearly Beginner Adults Membership!

Source: Media Outreach

  • First forwarder with dual-certified facility within Kuala Lumpur International Airport Free Commercial Zone for 15–25°C and 2–8°C storage, with Good Distribution Practice qualifications
  • Sets new benchmark in pharmaceutical logistics with reefer truck transfers, secure cages, and eco-friendly infrastructure.
  • Strengthens DHL’s network of 37 Air GxP and 12 IATA CEIV Pharma-certified stations across Asia-Pacific, reinforcing its leadership in providing compliant and sustainable healthcare logistics.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 August 2025 – To meet the growing demand for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical logistics, DHL Global Forwarding continues to enhance its cold chain capabilities in Malaysia, being the first forwarder to offer a cold chain facility certified for both 15–25°C and 2–8°C storage within the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Free Commercial Zone. Spanning over 38,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art facility is accorded both the DHL Air GxP certification and the IATA CEIV Pharma certification, delivering unmatched flexibility and regulatory compliance for Life Science and Healthcare customers.

DHL Global Forwarding Malaysia Facility

Based on the World Health Organization’s Good Distribution and Storage Practices, the DHL Air GxP certification is a baseline requirement across all DHL pharma stations to ensure upholding of stringent quality and compliance standards. Complementing this is the IATA CEIV Pharma certification, a globally recognized standard that validates DHL’s capabilities in handling high-value, time- and temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments.

“Malaysia is strategically located to serve as a regional hub for global medical technology companies, and the fast-growing market is expected to increase at a CAGR of 8.5 per cent from 2023 to 2028, reaching a market volume of US$4.5 billion by 2028,” said Praveen Gregory, Managing Director, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei, DHL Global Forwarding. “Our cold chain infrastructure in KLIA has consistently delivered high standards in pharmaceutical logistics since its launch in 2023, and as demand across Asia Pacific accelerates, we are ready to lead with best-in-class facilities and expertise to support our customers.”

Comprehensive solutions to cater to diverse needs and maintain cold chain integrity

The facility comprises:

  • Dedicated cold rooms: 1,040 square feet for 15–25°C storage and 504 square feet for 2–8°C storage, supporting up to 105 EU pallets
  • Dual secure cages: Over 2,400 square feet of high-security storage with 24/7 CCTV surveillance and restricted access.
  • Advanced Environment Monitoring System (EMS): 100% automated real-time storage temperature monitoring via a dual system (Testo Saveris and UniBot), with data stored for one year.
  • Eco-friendly infrastructure: R448A refrigerant, food-grade epoxy flooring, airtight doors, and energy-efficient compressors.
  • Operational excellence: 24/7 operations with dedicated customs brokerage and value-added services such as buyer consolidation, cross-docking, and LD3 container charging.
  • Fully temperature-mapped carve-out site: Designated area that has undergone a thorough temperature mapping process, specifically designed to store or handle temperature-sensitive products
  • Dehumidification system: Tailored for pharmaceutical application between the range of 55% to 70%Rh

DHL is also the only forwarder in KLIA offering reefer truck transfers from pick-up to terminal arrival and delivery. This service ensures cold chain integrity is maintained throughout the journey and minimizes third-party handling, which in turn reduces turnaround time. It also enhances cargo security and ensures compliance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards.

To ensure all shipments are handled with utmost care and in compliance with the highest industry standards, all cold-chain shipments are handled by a dedicated team of Life Sciences Specialists who have completed the training and are certified. These staff undergo annual training to stay ahead of evolving industry requirements, armed with vital tools and knowledge needed to understand and meet both customer and regulatory expectations. In addition to implementing a specialized training program aligned with IATA regulatory standards across its key GxP facilities, DHL’s CIF Certified Life Sciences Specialist (CLSS) program equally provides a comprehensive curriculum of mandatory training sessions, functional courses, and material to build deep expertise in this highly specialized industry.

DHL’s commitment to green logistics is also evident in the KLIA facility’s design. The facility is built using CFC- and HCFC-free materials and is fitted with energy-saving compressors and low-noise, low-emission generators. The company is also exploring mobile freezer units capable of operating at -20°C, as well as expanding its service portfolio to include frozen commodities such as vaccines, meat, and industrial chemicals.

Asia Pacific: Fast-Growing Strategic Hub for Healthcare Logistics

Asia Pacific is rapidly emerging as a global center for pharmaceutical innovation, manufacturing, and distribution. According to an industry trend report by Data Bridge Market Research, the region’s healthcare logistics market is forecasted to grow from USD 17.6 billion in 2022 to USD 29.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.1%. This growth is driven by aging populations, rising chronic disease prevalence, and increasing demand for biologics, vaccines, and clinical trials.

DHL is uniquely positioned to support this growth, with a robust and strategically distributed cold chain network across Asia Pacific. As part of its Strategy 2030: Accelerating Sustainable Growth, DHL Group has identified Life Sciences and Healthcare (LSH) as a key growth sector and introduced a new “DHL Health Logistics” sector brand to drive cross-divisional growth. This reflects a broader global trend in which logistics is increasingly recognized as a critical enabler of healthcare access and patient outcomes. Earlier this year, DHL Group also announced a €500 million investment in Life Sciences infrastructure across Asia Pacific, including 300,000 square meters of fully compliant storage in 15 countries – a move that reinforces its regional logistics leadership.

Currently, DHL operates 37 Air GxP-certified stations and 12 IATA CEIV Pharma-certified stations in the region, including key hubs in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney, and Shanghai. These facilities are meticulously set up to meet the highest standards of pharmaceutical logistics, ensuring temperature integrity, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence. Each certified station is staffed by trained Life Sciences Specialists and supported by integrated supply chain capabilities, including temperature-controlled transportation, customs brokerage, real-time shipment monitoring, and post-shipment investigations.

As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, DHL remains steadfast in its mission to deliver resilient, compliant, and future-ready logistics solutions. With its expanding footprint, certified expertise, and commitment to innovation, it is well-positioned to be the logistics partner of choice for life sciences companies across Asia Pacific—ensuring that critical healthcare products reach patients safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
