CGTN: الحوار والتنمية والازدهار المشترك

بكين،, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — تزامنًا مع استمرار تصاعد التوترات الجيوسياسية في جميع أنحاء العالم، يجتمع زعماء منتدى التعاون الاقتصادي لآسيا والمحيط الهادئ (APEC) في كوريا الجنوبية لحضور اجتماع قادة اقتصادات الأبيك لعام 2025، وهي لحظة محورية حيث تتعامل المنطقة مع حالة عدم اليقين الاقتصادي العالمي المتزايدة.

قبيل الاجتماع، عقدت China Media Group (CMG)، بالتعاون مع Yonsei University وشبكة YTN، حلقة نقاشية في بكين بتاريخ 25 أكتوبر تحت عنوان “الحوار حول الحوكمة العالمية والازدهار المشترك في منطقة آسيا والمحيط الهادئ”.

قال Ren Hongbin، رئيس مجلس الصين لتعزيز التجارة الدولية، إن مصالح الدول أصبحت متشابكة بشكل متزايد، الأمر الذي يتطلب حوكمة مشتركة أقوى تقوم على التعاون والمنفعة المتبادلة. وأشار إلى أن مبادرة الحوكمة العالمية الصينية تقدم حلولاً صينية لإقامة نظام عالمي أكثر عدالة. كما شدّد وزير الاستثمار والتجارة والصناعة الماليزي، Tengku Zafrul Aziz، على أن القواعد والثقة والشمولية هي الركائز التي يقوم عليها النمو لجميع الدول. أكد عضو مجلس النواب التشيلي، Ruben Oyarzo، التزام تشيلي بتنمية منطقة آسيا والمحيط الهادئ وبناء الثقة المتبادلة. وأضاف Yoon Dong–sup، رئيس Yonsei University، أن معالجة تغير المناخ والابتكار وشيخوخة السكان وعدم اليقين الاقتصادي تتطلب حوارًا وتعاونًا وتخطيطًا مشتركًا من أجل مستقبلٍ مستدامٍ.

ورغم التحديات غير المسبوقة التي تواجه التعددية، واصلت الصين اتخاذ خطوات عملية، لا سيما من خلال مبادرة الحوكمة العالمية، وهي واحدة من أربع مبادرات عالمية رئيسية اقترحتها لخدمة العالم. وأشاد المشاركون بهذا التوجّه وأكدوا على أهمية التعاون والتواصل وبناء الثقة المتبادلة، مشيرين إلى المرونة الاقتصادية للصين باعتبارها قوة داعمة للاستقرار لتحقيق النمو العالمي.

أجمع المشاركون على أنه في ظل هشاشة الاقتصاد العالمي الراهنة، فإن التعاون والثقة والشفافية والابتكار تشكل عوامل أساسية للحفاظ على نمو منطقة آسيا والمحيط الهادئ. وقال David Perez Des Rosiers، ممثل مجلس الأعمال الكندي الصيني، إن منتدى التعاون الاقتصادي لدول آسيا والمحيط الهادئ يُعَد منصةً حيويةً لتعزيز الفرص الإقليمية. وشدّد Gaston Chee، ممثل غرفة التجارة الماليزية في الصين، على أهمية الشفافية لمواجهة الحواجز التجارية المتزايدة، فيما دعا Chung Suh–Yong، ممثل أكاديمية سيول للقانون الدولي، منتدى التعاون الاقتصادي لدول آسيا والمحيط الهادئ إلى بناء شراكات مفتوحة وشاملة تحقق توازنًا بين المصالح المشتركة والاختلافات القائمة.

في ظلّ التشرذم العالمي وانعدام الثقة، تبدو رسالة الصين واضحة لا لبس فيها: إن الحوار والتعاون والازدهار المشترك يمثلون السبيل الأمثل نحو التجديد.

Neinor Homes schließt ABB in Höhe von 140 Mio. € ab und erwartet weitere Wachstumschancen auf dem florierenden spanischen Wohnungsmarkt

MADRID, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Neinor hat im Rahmen eines beschleunigten Bookbuilding–Verfahrens (ABB) durch die Ausgabe von 8.900.190 neuen Aktien zu 15,73 € pro Aktie erfolgreich 140 Mio. € aufgenommen.

Orion, der größte Aktionär von Neinor, zeichnete 100 Mio. € und bekräftigte damit sein langfristiges Engagement für das Unternehmen und sein Vertrauen in dessen eigenkapitaleffiziente Wachstumsstrategie.

Weitere 40 Mio. € wurden von bestehenden Aktionären gezeichnet, die das Unternehmen nach der im Juni erfolgreich durchgeführten ABB–Transaktion über 229 Mio. € weiterhin unterstützen.

Spanien ist nach wie vor einer der stabilsten Wohnimmobilienmärkte weltweit, da er strukturell unterversorgt ist, einen geringen Verschuldungsgrad aufweist und überzeugende langfristige Wachstumschancen in einem stark fragmentierten Markt bietet.

In den letzten 2,5 Jahren haben Neinor und seine strategischen Partner Grundstückskäufe im Wert von mehr als 2.700 Mio. € realisiert, um rund 31.000 Wohneinheiten zu entwickeln und opportunistische Renditen zu erzielen.

Da die Akquisition von AEDAS vollständig finanziert ist, plant Neinor, den Nettoerlös zu verwenden, um weitere Wachstumsmöglichkeiten in den Segmenten Build–to–Sell und Alternatives Wohnen zu verfolgen.

Borja García–Egotxeaga, CEO von Neinor Homes, kommentierte: „Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis dieser Transaktion und der anhaltenden Unterstützung durch Orion, die einmal mehr ihr Vertrauen in die langfristige Strategie und das Wachstumspotenzial von Neinor unter Beweis stellt, sowie durch institutionelle Investoren, die ihre Unterstützung bekräftigt haben. Mit dem Erlös können wir unsere Expansion in den attraktivsten Segmenten des spanischen Marktes fortsetzen und gleichzeitig einen disziplinierten Ansatz für den Kapitaleinsatz beibehalten.“

Jordi Argemí, stellvertretender CEO und CFO, erklärte: „Diese Kapitalerhöhung stärkt die Bilanz von Neinor weiter und ermöglicht uns eine bessere Umsetzung der derzeit in der Analyse befindlichen Pipeline. Die Beteiligung unseres Hauptaktionärs zusammen mit anderen langfristigen institutionellen Investoren verdeutlicht das große Vertrauen in die Strategie, die Umsetzung und das Wertschöpfungspotenzial von Neinor. Nachdem Orion bereits 2023 50 Mio. € in das Vermögensverwaltungsgeschäft von Neinor investiert hat, ist die Beteiligung an dieser Transaktion ein erneuter Beweis für dessen Engagement für das Unternehmen und seine langfristige Vision.“

Neinor Homes réalise un ABB de 140 millions d’euros et envisage de nouvelles opportunités de croissance sur un marché résidentiel espagnol en plein essor

MADRID, 28 oct. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Neinor a levé avec succès 140 millions d’euros grâce à une procédure de constitution de livre d’ordres accélérée (ABB) par l’émission de 8 900 190 nouvelles actions à 15,73 euros chacune.

Orion, le principal actionnaire de Neinor, a souscrit 100 millions d’euros, renforçant ainsi son engagement à long terme envers la société et sa confiance dans sa stratégie de croissance efficace en termes de capitaux propres.

Un montant supplémentaire de 40 millions d’euros a été souscrit par les actionnaires existants qui continuent de soutenir la société après l’ABB de 229 millions d’euros réalisée avec succès en juin.

L’Espagne reste l’un des marchés résidentiels les plus sûrs au monde, car il est structurellement sous–approvisionné, sous–endetté et offre des opportunités de croissance à long terme intéressantes dans un marché très fragmenté.

Au cours des deux dernières années et demie, Neinor et ses partenaires stratégiques ont conclu des acquisitions foncières d’une valeur supérieure à 2,7 milliards d’euros afin de développer environ 31 000 logements dans le but d’obtenir des rendements rentables.

L’acquisition d’AEDAS étant entièrement financée, Neinor prévoit d’utiliser le produit net pour poursuivre d’autres opportunités de croissance dans les segments « Build–to–Sell » (construction pour la vente) et « Alternative Living » (logements alternatifs) émergents.

Borja García–Egotxeaga, PDG de Neinor Homes, a déclaré : « Nous sommes très satisfaits du résultat de cette transaction et du soutien continu d’Orion, qui démontre une fois de plus sa confiance dans la stratégie et le potentiel de croissance à long terme de Neinor, ainsi que celui des investisseurs institutionnels qui ont réaffirmé leur appui. Les fonds levés nous permettront de continuer à nous développer dans les segments les plus attractifs du marché espagnol tout en maintenant une approche disciplinée dans l’allocation de notre capital. »

Jordi Argemí, directeur général adjoint et directeur financier, a déclaré : « Cette levée de fonds renforce encore le bilan de Neinor et augmente notre capacité à exécuter le pipeline actuellement à l’étude. La participation de notre actionnaire principal aux côtés d’autres investisseurs institutionnels à long terme souligne la forte confiance dans la stratégie, l’exécution et le potentiel de création de valeur de Neinor. À la suite de son investissement en fonds propres de 50 millions d’euros dans le secteur de la gestion d’actifs de Neinor en 2023, la participation d’Orion dans cette opération représente une nouvelle manifestation de son engagement envers la société et sa vision à long terme. »

Neinor Homes conclui um ABB de € 140 milhões, visando novas oportunidades de crescimento no aquecido mercado residencial espanhol

MADRI, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Neinor levantou com sucesso o montante de € 140 milhões por meio de uma oferta acelerada de bookbuild (ABB) através da emissão de 8.900.190 novas ações a € 15,73 por ação.

A Orion, maior acionista da Neinor, subscreveu € 100 milhões, reforçando seu compromisso de longo prazo com a empresa e a confiança em sua estratégia de crescimento eficiente em termos de capital.

Outros € 40 milhões foram subscritos pelos acionistas existentes, que continuam a apoiar a empresa após o ABB de € 229 milhões, executado com êxito em junho.

A Espanha continua sendo um dos mercados residenciais mais seguros do mundo. Isso se deve ao fato de ser um mercado estruturalmente subabastecido e subalavancado, além de oferecer oportunidades atraentes de crescimento de longo prazo em um cenário altamente fragmentado.

Nos últimos 2,5 anos, a Neinor e seus parceiros estratégicos realizaram aquisições de terras no valor de mais de € 2.700 milhões para desenvolver cerca de 31.000 unidades habitacionais visando retornos oportunistas.

Com a aquisição da AEDAS totalmente financiada, a Neinor espera utilizar os lucros líquidos para buscar mais oportunidades de crescimento nos segmentos emergentes Build–to–Sell e Vida Alternativa.

Borja García–Egotxeaga, CEO da Neinor Homes, comentou: “Estamos muito satisfeitos com o resultado desta transação e com o apoio contínuo da Orion, que, mais uma vez, demonstra sua confiança na estratégia de longo prazo e no potencial de crescimento da Neinor, bem como no respaldo de investidores institucionais, que reafirmaram seu apoio. Os recursos nos permitirão continuar a crescer nos segmentos mais atrativos do mercado espanhol, mantendo uma abordagem disciplinada na aplicação do capital.”

Jordi Argemí, vice–CEO e Diretor Financeiro, declarou: “Este aumento de capital fortalece ainda mais o balanço da Neinor e amplia nossa capacidade de executar o pipeline atualmente em análise. A participação do nosso principal acionista, juntamente com outros investidores institucionais de longo prazo, ressalta a forte confiança na estratégia, na execução e no potencial de criação de valor da Neinor. Após seu investimento de € 50 milhões em ações na unidade de gestão de ativos da Neinor em 2023, a participação da Orion nesta transação representa uma demonstração renovada de comprometimento com a empresa e sua visão de longo prazo.”

CGTN: How China injects stability and fresh momentum into Asia-Pacific development

Ahead of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, set to be held in Gyeongju, South Korea, from October 31 to November 1, CGTN has published an article highlighting how China has continuously injected stability and fresh momentum to the development of the Asia–Pacific region over the years.

BEIJING, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Just days after the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) concluded in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping is going to make his first overseas trip since the CPC plenum — to attend the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and to pay a state visit to South Korea from October 30 to November 1.

As the session reaffirmed China's long–term vision and steady commitment to sharing growth opportunities with the world, observers are watching closely to see how China's leadership will bring new energy to Asia–Pacific development and help guide the region through increasing geopolitical and economic challenges.

“There has never been a more critical time for APEC,” said Eduardo Pedrosa, executive director of the APEC Secretariat, in a recent interview. He expressed his anticipation of President Xi's participation, emphasizing that China has long been a strong supporter and contributor to APEC.

Openness and connectivity for win–win cooperation

On the Pacific coast of Peru, the Chancay Port — South America's first smart and green port — will soon celebrate its first anniversary of operation. Described as a “New Inca Trail,” the project has created new trade routes between Latin America and Asia, serving as a clear example of openness and connectivity in the Asia–Pacific. 

When President Xi attended the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Lima in 2024, he watched the port's opening via video link. He has called for fully utilizing APEC's role as an “incubator of global economic and trade rules,” promoting regional integration and connectivity, and removing barriers to the free flow of trade, investment, technology, and services.

For decades, China has been a positive force for openness in the Asia–Pacific. In the first three quarters of 2025, China's trade with other APEC economies increased by 2 percent year–over–year, reaching 19.41 trillion yuan ($2.73 trillion), or 57.8 percent of its total trade. The ongoing growth of goods ranging from textiles to electronics and auto parts reflects the region's strong shared opportunities.

China's actions reflect its consistent stance against protectionism and unilateralism. From the high–quality implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) to proactive steps toward joining the CPTPP and Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA), Beijing has been contributing Chinese strength to building an open Asia–Pacific economy.

Driving innovation to share development opportunities

At the 2023 APEC CEO Summit, President Xi urged regional economies to “seize the opportunities of the new technological revolution” and to work together to promote digital, intelligent, and green transformation. He emphasized the importance of strengthening scientific and technological cooperation and creating an open, fair, and non–discriminatory environment for innovation.

This vision is gaining ground across the region. At the 22nd China–ASEAN Expo, 62 projects involving new energy, artificial intelligence, and advanced materials were signed — many focused on joint R&D rather than just trade. In Chile, Chinese–made double–decker electric buses played a key role in transporting people during the 19th Pan American Games in Santiago, providing clean energy for a continental sporting event and demonstrating China's sustainable technologies on a global scale.

Herman Tiu Laurel, president of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, a Manila–based think tank, observed that China's high–tech innovation and green transition open new frontiers for supply chains and create fresh opportunities for Asia–Pacific economies.

Fostering inclusive growth for shared prosperity

In late September, a China–supported Juncao and upland rice demonstration center was opened in Goroka, the capital of Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province. The project, a new achievement in China–Papua New Guinea collaboration on poverty reduction, is helping local communities boost food security and build sustainable livelihoods. It provides a glimpse into how China's development approach is changing lives across the Asia–Pacific.

President Xi has reaffirmed that common development remains the main goal of Asia–Pacific cooperation. Following this vision, China has been actively taking action rather than just promoting the idea.

From advancing initiatives within APEC to increase household income and promote cluster–based growth among small and medium–sized enterprises, to inviting Asia–Pacific partners to join the Global Development Initiative (GDI), China has consistently strengthened collaboration in poverty reduction, food security, industrialization, and development financing with regional economies to maintain steady momentum in the region's pursuit of shared prosperity.
