Minister for Trade and Investment, and Agriculture Todd McClay will lead a high-level delegation of 21 New Zealand businesses to Riyadh this coming week to promote and strengthen trade and investment ties with Saudi Arabia.
“This mission will raise the profile of New Zealand businesses in a market predicted to be the 6th largest global economy by 2050 with enormous long-term potential, building partnerships that can deliver growth, jobs, and prosperity on both sides,” Mr McClay says.
“Saudi Arabia is one of the most dynamic markets in the Middle East worth USD$2.8 trillion and is driving one of the largest global transformations and rebuild programmes through its Vision 2030 strategy,” Mr McClay says.
“This mission will showcase the very best of what New Zealand has to offer —safe, high-quality food and beverage, innovative agricultural expertise, world-leading construction and technology solutions, and a creative sector that is globally recognised.
The Government is ambitious about doubling the value of New Zealand’s exports in 10 years, unlocking new opportunities for Kiwi exporters, and supporting Saudi Arabia in their food security and development goals.
Saudi Arabia is already one of New Zealand’s largest and fastest-growing export destinations in the Middle East. Exports have more than doubled in four years, from $620 million in June 2021 to $1.35 billion in June 2025 bringing two-way trade to $1.58 billion.
Patients attending Whanganui Hospital’s onsite dental unit will now benefit from a modernised and upgraded facility following a refurbishment, Health Minister Simeon Brown says.
“The refurbished dental unit provides a brighter, more welcoming and accessible space for patients and families, ensuring the community can receive timely, quality oral healthcare in an appropriate environment,” Mr Brown says.
“The old space was outdated and cramped. The upgraded unit now has an enlarged waiting room to better accommodate a growing number of patients, along with a dedicated area for those receiving IV sedation.
“Access throughout the clinic has been improved for wheelchair users, while the reception area and front desk have been reconfigured to enhance both patient flow and safety from the moment patients arrive.
“A new recovery space has been created for patients who require sedation. This will support the growing number of patients being treated under IV sedation in the dental unit, which has reduced the need for general anaesthetic procedures and helped shorten that waitlist.
“Two dental rooms have also been modernised with new cabinetry and equipment, enabling staff to deliver care more efficiently and safely.”
To ensure treatment continued during the building works, a mobile dental unit was available on site for patients.
“With a new dentist now working regularly in the unit, more patients are now being seen. This refurbishment will ensure it can keep pace with the needs of the community.
“This Government is committed to delivering modern, fit-for-purpose health facilities that improve access to care. Whanganui’s dental unit upgrade is another example of our focus on ensuring patients receive care in the right setting.”
A Police operation is underway today to manage protest activity taking place in Auckland.
Protesters are arriving in the CBD and heading to Aotea Square.
It is expected that the protest will make its way to Victoria Park, down Queen Street, from 10am this morning.
Police have staff deployed throughout the city along the route and are monitoring the situation.
We are advising the public to expect delays across these areas today.
People coming into the city are advised to use the AT Mobile App or real time AT Journey Planner to check for any bus service changes of time or route.

12 September 2025 – AUCKLAND, New Zealand – The March for Humanity, organised by Aotearoa for Palestine, will proceed tomorrow as a powerful demonstration of public demand for New Zealand to impose immediate diplomatic and economic sanctions on Israel.
Despite a drastic change to the weather forecast in the last 24 hours, that now shows unsafe wind speeds on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, the march will go ahead with a changed route. The start time remains 9:30 AM, Saturday, but will now assemble at Aotea Square. The march will then proceed through the CBD, concluding at Victoria Park.
“People have travelled from across Aotearoa to join this historic protest, and tomorrow we will March for Humanity through the Auckland CBD – united in our call for the New Zealand Government to impose sanctions on Israel. Community safety is paramount, and so too is our collective voice for justice.” Said Aotearoa for Palestine spokesperson, Nadine Mortaja.
Bianca Ranson, spokesperson for Kaiāwhina marshals added, “Our foremost duty as Kaiāwhina is to protect and care for our communities. After reviewing multiple weather models, including a forecast commissioned twice from MetService specifically for the Harbour Bridge, it is clear that predicted winds of 75–85km/h make the crossing unsafe. Postponing the Harbour Bridge march is the only responsible course of action.”
This route change is not expected to dampen overwhelming public support. Mortaja confirmed, “Despite the route change, The March for Humanity will be the largest march for Palestine in New Zealand’s history. And if the government fails to listen to the people tomorrow, and uphold its duty to prevent and punish Israel’s genocide on Gaza, we are still committed to marching over the Auckland Harbour Bridge – that just wont be tomorrow.”
The organisers urge all attendees to dress appropriately for the weather and prepare for a historic and impactful day.
“Tomorrow, 140 Kaiāwhina marshals will be on the ground in the Auckland CBD to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities. We encourage everyone to remain steadfast and committed to the March for Humanity. We still expect thousands to turn out and make their voices heard. For those needing assistance, medics will be clearly identifiable in pink vests, and Kaiāwhina marshals in green vests will be present throughout the march to provide care and support,” Ranson added.
Event Details:
What: March for Humanity
When: Saturday, 9:30 AM
Where: NEW ROUTE – Assembling at Aotea Square, proceeding through CBD, ending at Victoria Park.

For the first time Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) helicopters have flown between two countries, crossing a large swathe of ocean.
Two No. 3 Squadron NH90 helicopters recently flew from Cairns, in Australia, to Papua New Guinea.
The aircrews flew 453 nautical miles across the Coral Sea Basin to PNG’s capital, Port Moresby, the furthest the New Zealand NH90s have ever flown over water.
The trip took just under four hours.
The flight followed a successful deployment to Exercise Talisman Sabre in Australia and the NH90s were than able to take part in PNG’s independence celebrations.
“It was an honour to be invited to take part in the PNG 50th Anniversary celebrations,” said Air Component Commander Air Commodore Andy Scott.
“The timing of the event after Ex Talisman Sabre provided a fantastic opportunity for our Rotary Wing team to take part both in the celebrations and in supporting the transport of critical equipment out into the provinces.”
One of the pilots who flew the journey, Flight Lieutenant Hayley Vincent, said two 500kg external gas tanks were fitted, making for a “different silhouette”.
An extra internal gas tank was also fitted, but that fuel was not required.
The unique flight was given an international Kiwi call-sign instead of the Warrior call-sign used for national flights.
Beforehand, a long-range flight from RNZAF Base Ohakea to Invercargill was carried out.
“A fuel graph was generated predicting the amount of fuel burned at various waypoints, taking into account aircraft weights and details, helping us keep an accurate track of fuel burn during the flight, with trends to help with decision making,” Flight Lieutenant Vincent said.
“It showed the expected departure fuel, the expected arrival fuel, and the minimum departure and arrival fuels, helping to calculate safe points for the aircraft to continue or turn around if necessary. Factors such as aircraft weight and extreme weather make a difference to safe decision points.”
Those calculations were essential for the Australia-to-PNG flight, where storms often gather in the afternoons around Port Moresby.
Flight Lieutenant Vincent said she felt “nervous excitement” at the start of the flight, but said there were detailed preparations.
“When we got to Papua New Guinea, there were a lot of happy faces. People were very excited to be the first Kiwi NH90 aircrew to fly from one country to another.”
“There was a celebration in the helicopter when the crew saw PNG for the first time,’’ she said.
“We saw land sooner than we thought we would, but the mountains there are massive.
“The success of the mission highlights the utility of the aircraft with long-range tanks which provided further deployment options for moving around the region when Navy ships or partner aircraft like the C-17 Globemaster are unavailable,” Flight Lieutenant Vincent said.
The crews have since returned to Australia and will continue to be based out of RAAF Townsville. Plans for the return of the aircraft to New Zealand are being finalised.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 September 2025 – The 10th edition of the Belt and Road Summit in Hong Kong (September 10-11) gathered about 6 200 high-profile participants from governments, international organisations, companies and the global media to celebrate a decade of achievements in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI).
Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), this year’s flagship Summit adopted “Collaborate for Change – Shape a Shared Future” as its theme.
In his welcoming speech, HKSAR’s Chief Executive John Lee said, “Over the past 10 years, more than 45 000 people from over 120 countries and regions have participated in the Summit.”
HKSAR’s Chief Executive John Lee says that Hong Kong is the ideal Belt and Road hub.
“Together, they have presented over 2 800 projects along the Belt and Road, shaping a shared vision through collaboration and connectivity, which are the fundamental values of the Belt and Road Initiative.”
This year’s Summit yielded a record high of 45 government and enterprise memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and commercial agreements, highlighting Hong Kong’s role as the functional platform for the B&RI. The total value of these MOUs and agreements, together with new projects and deals finalised before the Summit, is close to US$1 billion.
Hong Kong is also a leading fund-raising hub for Belt and Road economies. In fact, more than 100 Belt and Road companies are listed on the HKEX, with more to come.
“Hong Kong is the ideal Belt and Road hub,” said Mr Lee. “As the only world city that converges both the China advantage and the global advantage, Hong Kong stands as the premier gateway for co-operation, bridging people, trade, business, education, culture and values across the region, connecting Asia and the world.”
Mr Lee also introduced Hong Kong’s powerful advantages – the city’s status as a global financial centre, its trusted legal system, trade and investment, competitiveness, talent, connectivity, and sustainable development.
On talent, Mr Lee cited that under the HKSAR Government’s Belt and Road Scholarship and other programmes, more than 4 000 students from Belt and Road countries enroll in Hong Kong’s world-class tertiary programmes every year.
During the Summit, a number of thematic sessions covering areas such as legal services, trade and commerce, insurance, architecture, green finance and logistics were held to advance a more prosperous, green and interconnected future for Belt and Road countries and regions.
The Commissioner for Belt and Road of the HKSAR Government, Nicholas Ho (third left), speaks at one of the Summit’s thematic sessions which were held to foster a more prosperous, green and interconnected future for Belt and Road countries and regions.

They include the Future Investment Initiative PRIORITY Summit in 2023, the recent Saudi Super Cup football tournament, and LEAP – one of the Middle East’s largest tech expos, which chose Hong Kong for its first global edition, LEAP East, to be held next year.
Around the Summit period, more than 20 Belt and Road-related activities are also being held. They cover trade and business, arts and culture, music, sports and academia.
Among the events are “Wonders of Imperial Carpets: Masterpieces from the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha” exhibition at the Hong Kong Palace Museum until October 6, and Belt and Road – Long Yu & Behzod Abduraimov concert by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra on September 27.

HONG KONG SAR – EQS Newswire – 12 September 2025 – Uni-Bio Science Group (“the Group”) is pleased to announce the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Kexing Biopharm (Stock Code: 688136.SH), a leading biopharmaceutical company with extensive expertise in global commercialization. Under this landmark agreement, Beijing Genetech Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Genetech”), a subsidiary of the Group, has granted Kexing Biopharm exclusive rights to commercialize Bogutai® (Teriparatide Injection) in six international markets, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico (“Cooperation Regions”). Bogutai® is expected to complete registration and generate revenue in the Cooperation Regions as early as the end of 2026. The signing ceremony, held in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, marks a pivotal step in the Group’s international expansion and its commitment to advancing osteoporosis care worldwide.
Pioneering Osteoporosis Treatment with Proven Results
Bogutai® is a recombinant human parathyroid hormone analog (PTH1–34), an anabolic treatment for osteoporosis that has been widely recognized for its efficacy and safety. Recommended by numerous domestic and international clinical guidelines, Teriparatide is particularly effective in improving bone microarchitecture and reducing fracture risk in postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures.
Since its launch in China in March 2024, Bogutai® has demonstrated rapid market adoption, achieving a remarkable revenue growth of 248.9% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, reaching approximately HK$65.6 million. This impressive performance underscores the strong demand for innovative osteoporosis therapies and highlights the untapped potential of Bogutai® in global markets.
Addressing the Global Osteoporosis Epidemic
Osteoporosis, often referred to as a “silent killer,” affects over 200 million people globally, with the aging population exacerbating its prevalence. Early-stage osteoporosis is typically asymptomatic, leading to delayed diagnoses and severe complications such as fractures. In China, for example, only 6.5% of individuals receive osteoporosis treatment within six months of a fracture. Similarly, emerging markets across the Middle East and North Africa face low diagnosis and treatment rates despite growing awareness and significant patient populations.
Injectable therapies like Teriparatide have been recommended by the Guidelines for Rational Drug Use of Osteoporosis in Primary Care (2021) for patients unable to tolerate oral medications, those with poor adherence, or individuals at high risk of fractures, including elderly patients with multiple vertebral or hip fractures. With its targeted mechanism of action as a bone-forming agent, Bogutai® is uniquely positioned to address this unmet medical need in both established and emerging markets. It is estimated that the osteoporosis market in the Cooperation Regions is nearly USD 1.5 billion, with a patient population exceeding 10 million.
A Collaboration Built on Complementary Strengths
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Kingsley Leung, Chairman of Uni-Bio Science Group, said: “Teriparatide Injection is a transformative therapy with immense potential in overseas markets. By partnering with Kexing Biopharm, a company with a robust international commercialization network and proven operational expertise, we are confident in our ability to bring Bogutai® to patients in need across key regions. This collaboration represents a critical step in our mission to improve global bone health.”
Mr. Zhao Yanqing, General Manager of Kexing Biopharm, added: “We are excited to join forces with Uni-Bio Science Group to unlock the regional potential of Bogutai®. With our established capabilities in regulatory approvals and market promotion, we aim to accelerate product registration and commercialization, ensuring that this innovative therapy reaches patients quickly and effectively.”
Enhancing Global Competitiveness in Osteoporosis Care
With over 20 years of international commercialization experience, Kexing Biopharm has built a strong marketing network spanning the European Union and emerging markets. The addition of Bogutai® to its portfolio complements its existing success with previously introduced denosumab injection, creating a comprehensive suite of osteoporosis treatments that combines “anti-resorptive” and “bone-forming” therapies. This synergy enhances the competitiveness of both companies in addressing the growing global demand for osteoporosis care.
For Uni-Bio Science Group, this partnership is a key milestone in its internationalization strategy. Bogutai® is expected to generate revenue in the Cooperation Regions as early as the end of 2026, and with its competitive pricing, it may achieve higher profit margins. Beyond the collaboration with Kexing Biopharm, the Group is actively pursuing FDA approval for Bogutai® in the United States, having already received a waiver for in vivo bioequivalence studies. With this expedited regulatory pathway, FDA approval is anticipated in 2027, further solidifying the Group’s position as a leader in osteoporosis treatment.
The Group is also advancing innovative pipeline products, including Uni-PTH (microneedle) for osteoporosis and UB107 (a Class III medical device) for bone repair, reinforcing its commitment to addressing unmet medical needs in bone metabolism and regenerative medicine.
Shaping the Future of Osteoporosis Treatment
Looking ahead, Uni-Bio Science Group remains dedicated to expanding its global footprint, deepening strategic partnerships, and accelerating the development of innovative therapies. By bringing Chinese innovation to the world, the Group aims to improve the lives of osteoporosis patients and set new standards in bone health and regenerative medicine.
