Yara Sameh
TV BRICS is expanding its network of partners in ASEAN countries and has begun cooperation with Malaysia, according to TV BRICS.
The Malaysian National News Agency, Bernama, has joined the information exchange through the TV BRICS International Media Network.
At the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), an agreement on joint work was signed by Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS, and Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, CEO of Bernama.
The partners' cooperation will be aimed at strengthening ties between BRICS and ASEAN countries in the field of mass communications and forming an objective international agenda. With the assistance of TV BRICS, Malaysia will gain access to the latest news from other countries from primary media sources and will be able to promote its own content abroad.
"Apart from providing services to its clients using wires, Bernama also provides news broadcasts through its own BERNAMA radio and television channel, which operated 24 hours a day as well as its social media platforms. Bernama prioritises collaboration with international news agencies to ensure that its content can reach audiences on various platforms at the regional and global levels," she added, "This partnership reflects Bernama's ongoing commitment to building an international media network that supports balanced reporting, promotes intercultural dialogue and expands its reach to the BRICS region and beyond" said CEO of Bernama Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin.
Bernama, Malaysia's National News Agency, was established in 1968. Its headquarters are located in Kuala Lumpur. Bernama, which includes the Bernama.com portal, the 24-hour Bernama TV channel and BERNAMA radio, specialises in socio-economic and political topics and is the main source of information in Malaysia.
It operates in Malay, English, Chinese, Tamil, Arabic, and Spanish. Bernama has a network of partners in all ASEAN countries and other Asian states, as well as in Europe and the United States.
"The TV BRICS International Media Network supports and regularly covers Malaysia's active participation in organisations such as ASEAN and BRICS. We also note the important contribution of Bernama News Agency in promoting the potential of Malaysia and ASEAN countries in the global information space. I am confident that the information partnership between Bernama and TV BRICS will contribute to further rapprochement between the peoples of our countries in the interests of global stability, the development of multilateral cooperation in the field of culture, sustainable economy, scientific, and industrial cooperation," said Chairman of TV BRICS Ivan Polyakov.
Malaysia became the 27th country to officially join the international information exchange through TV BRICS, with the media network's information presence reaching more than 80 countries.
In May 2025, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim gave a big exclusive interview to the TV BRICS International Media Network at the 16th International Economic Forum "Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum."

Huawei Outlines Opportunities for Driving Growth for Carriers at MWC Shanghai 2025 - Middle East Business News and Information
Eric Xu, Huawei's Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman, says carriers face new challenges in an increasingly mature market Shanghai, China, June, 2025, During MWC Shanghai 2025, Eric Xu, Huawei's Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman, outlined four strategic pathways for driving growth in the telecommunications industry as carriers face new challenges in an increasingly mature market. In a keynote address to industry leaders, Xu acknowledged that while the telecoms sector has experienced rapid growth over the past four decades, it now faces a period of stable development, where 'basic consumer needs are already met in major markets, and revenue growth is stagnating.' Four Pathways to Sustainable Growth: 1. Meeting Evolving User Demands with High Growth Potential Xu highlighted emerging high-value user segments that present significant opportunities for carriers. Professional delivery riders, for example, have grown from 30 million globally in 2020 to 70 million in 2024, with projections reaching 160 million by 2030. 'Food delivery riders' minutes of usage is four times that of an average user, and their data usage is twice as high, resulting in ARPU that's 1.6 times higher,' Xu noted. Similarly, the livestreaming profession has expanded from 10 million practitioners in 2022 to an estimated 50 million in 2024, with projections reaching 130 million by 2030. These users consume five times more data than the average user, generating four times the average revenue per user (ARPU). He also highlighted that live streamers and esports gamers are a new, fast-growing segment of high-value users for carriers. 'If we look at the global market, it's clear that these demands promise high growth potential, and carriers who've met these needs are growing fast. Carriers who haven't ramped up for these needs yet might find it more challenging to achieve new growth,' added Xu. 2. Boosting HD Video Through Ecosystem Collaboration Despite video comprising roughly 50% of mobile traffic, Xu identified a significant gap in high-definition video consumption. In tier-1 Chinese cities, 1080p and higher-definition video accounts for only 22% of total mobile video traffic. 'A 1080p video generates five times more traffic than its 360p counterpart,' Xu explained, emphasizing the revenue potential for carriers who can successfully coordinate with content providers (OTT), device manufacturers, and network equipment vendors to address pricing and technical barriers. 3. Accelerating 5G Vehicle Connectivity Addressing the slow adoption of 5G-connected vehicles, projected to represent only 30% of cars sold in China by 2025, Xu called for industry-wide collaboration to address cost barriers, particularly those related to intellectual property rights and T-Box pricing. He proposed a dual-connectivity approach, separating connections for vehicle cockpits (using B2C models) and T-Box connectivity (using B2B models) while maintaining that autonomous vehicles must be capable of independent operation without network dependency. 4. Expanding FTTR to Small and Medium Businesses Building on the success of Fiber to the Room (FTTR) in premium residential markets, Xu outlined opportunities to extend this technology to micro and small businesses. With over 500 million such businesses worldwide, FTTR solutions can address common challenges, including poor Wi-Fi coverage, unreliable connections for critical applications, and limited device connectivity. 'With FTTR, carriers can bring fiber broadband to micro and small businesses too,' Xu said, noting that China currently has an estimated 75 million FTTR users compared to 500,000 in other countries. Tailored Approaches for Different Markets Xu concluded by emphasizing the need for customized growth strategies: 'Every carrier is different. Their markets are different, their business environments are different—and so is their competitive landscape. So, the pathways to growth are different too.' 'Huawei is always ready and willing to work together, helping carriers explore opportunities unique to them and carve out the right pathways to long-term, sustainable growth,' he concluded.

AOI, China's XGY partner to localize medical devices manufacturing in Egypt - Health
The Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI) and Chinese company XGY Medical Devices inked a partnership agreement on Wednesday to establish the Arab-Chinese Medical Industries Company for localizing medical device manufacturing. The signing took place on the sidelines of the fourth Africa Health ExCon 2025's opening, organized by the Egyptian Authority for Unified Procurement (UPA) from 24 to 27 June under the theme: "Innovation and Independence: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence and Local Manufacturing to Strengthen African Health Systems." Major General Mokhtar Abdel-Latif, chairman of AOI's board of directors, and Jiao Da Tian, chairman of XGY Medical Devices, signed the partnership. Egyptian Minister of Health Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar also witnessed the signing. In an AOI statement, Abdel-Latif said the agreement includes establishing a joint company to localize the medical device industry. The company will start with diagnostic and therapeutic radiology equipment in the first phase, leveraging AOI's advanced manufacturing capabilities. He added that the goal is to reduce the cost of imported technological components by designing and manufacturing them within AOI for the first time in Egypt, achieving complete localization of this vital industry. He further explained that the cooperation will include specialized training programmes for engineers and technicians working in the new joint company, along with providing maintenance services and spare parts. Abdel-Latif affirmed the AOI's commitment to forming strategic and productive partnerships with the global Chinese company to expand cooperation in the medical device manufacturing field according to international quality standards. The partnership aims to increase market access, meet local demand, reduce reliance on imports, and open export channels to African, Arab, and global markets at competitive prices. For his part, XGY's chairman expressed his pride in collaborating with the AOI. "This partnership reflects strong confidence in AOI's advanced manufacturing capabilities," he stressed. He further emphasized XGY's commitment to fully transferring its technology to Egypt through the joint venture with AOI. "This would enhance cooperation and expand export opportunities by capitalizing on Egypt's successful investment climate," he added. XGY Medical Devices, established in 1998, is a high-end medical equipment manufacturing project jointly constructed by Zhejiang Xingaoyi Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., Shandong Longzhiyuan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., and Junan Caijin Group in 2022. The company integrates research and development, production, sales, and after-sales of magnetic resonance equipment. The partnership follows a cooperation protocol signed in May with Philips to localize the medical device industry and boost Egypt's capacity in biomedical engineering. The protocol includes feasibility studies for domestic production, development of device components, and establishment of a specialized biomedical engineering centre for knowledge transfer. In 2023 alone, Philips, a global tech company, made 607 medical technology patent applications, becoming the second largest applicant in the medical technology field in the European Patent Office (EPO) index. "ExCon 2025 will witness the signing of 15 agreements and contracts in the fields of medical tourism for African countries, as well as strategic partnerships to reform healthcare systems in several African nations," General Authority for Healthcare (GAH) Chairman Ahmed El-Sobky said on the sidelines of the conference.
