Peace and stability as key factors to ASEAN epicentrum of Growth

JAKARTA, Jul 17, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Indonesia has completed a series of the 56th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related meetings from 10 – 15 July 2023 in Jakarta, which emphasized Southeast Asian region is the epicentrum of growth and that economy and stability cooperations must be maintained by member countries and partners.

Ministers' Meeting (AMM) in Jakarta on July 14, 2023. (ANTARA FOTO/Hafidz Mubarak A/nz/djo)


On his courtesy call at the 56th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) here on Friday (July 14), Indonesian President Joko Widodo said ASEAN must not become a battleground of rivalry and a proxy of any country.

"We, in ASEAN, are committed to continuously bolstering unity and solidarity as well as strengthening ASEAN's centrality in maintaining peace and stability in the region," the president said.

Indonesia stressed that ASEAN has excellent opportunities as the epicenter of growth as the region has abundant natural resources and a productive age population.

The 56th AMM plenary – retreat sessions were held on 11-12 July and linked to other meetings, including a meeting of the commission of the Southeast Asia Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ), a meeting with the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR).

A number of post-ministerial conferences (PMC) and multilateral meetings have also been held with ASEAN dialogue partners: the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the East Asia Summit (EAS) Foreign Ministers' Meeting, and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), India, New Zealand, Russia, Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Turkiye.

The meetings discussed several cooperations, including South China Sea, Myanmar, and Indo-Pacific issues, food security, energy transition, health, financial stability, and nuclear proliferation.

"This showed that amid the current situation, Indonesia's chairmanship remains strong in its efforts to make Southeast Asia the epicenter of growth … and this is also supported by all of our partner countries," Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said during a press conference after the 56th AMM on Friday.

Regarding regional issues, ASEAN intensifies efforts to involve all stakeholders in Myanmar to reduce conflict. The organization reaffirms that the Five Point Consensus remains the primary reference to overcome the political crisis in Myanmar.

To maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, ASEAN stressed the importance of undertaking confidence-building and preventive measures to enhance trust and confidence amongst parties and uphold international law, including the 1982 UNCLOS.

The joint statement of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers stated the organization looked forward to the adoption of the Guidelines for Accelerating the Early Conclusion of an Effective and Substantive Code of Conduct in the South China Sea at the PMC Plus One Session with China on July 13 and encouraged efforts to make full use of the Guidelines.

Meanwhile, during the ASEAN meeting with counterpart states and multilateral fora, the organization reiterated several agenda related to the region.

ASEAN reiterated that all related parties must make all-out efforts to preserve the Southeast Asian Region as a nuclear-weapon-free zone.

Besides convincing Russia and the United Kingdom to approve the Treaty of Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone (SEANWFZ), Marsudi stated that ASEAN would review the treaty, so all nuclear-weapon states want to sign and adopt the SEANWFZ Protocol.

ASEAN and its counterparts also discussed food security issues. Indonesia highlighted the need for investment, education, and agricultural technology to ensure food availability, accessibility, and affordability in times of crisis during meetings with India and Canada.

ASEAN also conveyed to the European Union that the trade barriers policies, such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the European Union Enforcement Regulation (EUER), should not disrupt potential economic relations potential between the two regions. Thus both parties must find a joint solution through ASEAN-EU mechanisms.

During the meeting with the Japanese counterpart, Marsudi highlighted the potential development of electric vehicles (EV) in the region with Japan. ASEAN is well-positioned to partner with Japan in developing the ecosystem for EV batteries, while Japan can support this goal through the Green Innovation Fund.

The implementation of these cooperations would be discussed in greater detail and with more concrete plans by ASEAN sectoral ministers responsible for the economic field.

ASEAN reiterated that the member states need support from developed and friendly nations to leave the zero-sum approach and adopt a win-win strategy.

Xtreme Business Enterprises Launches World’s First DOT Standard 3+2 STO

HONG KONG, Jul 14, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – In line with China's 14th Five-Year Plan, which supports Hong Kong's development as an international innovation and technology hub, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has successively introduced a number of measures to promote the healthy development of Web 3, blockchain assets and smart city initiatives – driving market demand for digital ownership verification.


(Photo caption) Dr. Herbert Lee, Founder and Chairman of Xtreme Business Enterprises Limited (XBE) (fifth from left), Group Chief Executive Officer of XBE, Mr Julian So (fourth from right), Ir. Tony WONG, JP, Government Chief Information Officer (sixth from left) and other officiating guests celebrate the launch of the world's first Digital Ownership Token (DOT) Standard 3+2 Security Token Offering (STO).

(Photo caption) Group Chief Executive Officer of XBE, Mr Julian So (right) and Managing Director of Prosynergy, Ex-SFC regulator, Mr. Louie Lee (left) share insights about the potential, the market trend as well as the future development of the DOT Standard STO.


As one of the leaders in this industry, Xtreme Business Enterprises Limited ("XBE") today announced the launch of the world's first Digital Ownership Token (DOT) Standard 3+2 Security Token Offering (STO). Based on its pioneering DOT technology, XBE's STO will help drive the future development of Web 5 (centralised Web 2 + decentralized Web 3) and blockchain assets.

Unlike other digital tokens, XBE's pioneering DOT uses blockchain technology to record legal documents and smart contracts – providing authentication and legally enforceable ownership over real tangible and/or intangible assets. DOTs can be applied across many different assets and industries, including intellectual property, real estate and memberships.

DOT Standard 3+2 STO provides greater certainty, efficiency and security

DOT Standard 3+2 STO uses the DOT standard to record bond documents and corresponding smart contracts into the Bond Security Token. As such, the token itself becomes the security – allowing token holders to directly hold and control their own assets, while enhancing the certainty, security, efficiency and transparency of security tokens. DOT also eliminates the need for a third-party custodian to hold onto the underlying asset, mitigating risks associated with traditional securities custody.

XBE leverages DOT standard STO to provide a more advanced, efficient, secure and cost-effective alternative to bond offerings. In addition to using the DOT standard, 3+2 STO also includes three professional audits (i.e. Security Token, Legal and Regulatory Audits) and two opinions (i.e. Legal and Regulatory Opinions) to provide greater certainty and security. DOT Standard 3+2 STO fully implements and adopts blockchain and smart contract technologies. The clear record of bond ownership effectively protects the interests of investors, providing a more secure, efficient, transparent and innovative bond offering approach for the capital markets.

XBE's pioneering DOT technology leads bond market innovation

XBE's proprietary technology, the world's first DOT Standard 3+2 STO, is already gaining customer recognition and support. XBE's partner, China Information Technology Development Limited ("China Information Technology" or "CITD", HKEx stock code: 8178) will issue bonds with an aggregate principal amount of up to HK$100 million, documented using blockchain technology in place of other documentation tools and implemented using the DOT standard. This technology provides greater efficiency, security and transparency for bond holders. Reducing the risks associated with traditional securities custody, DOT standard STOs are expected to become widely adopted in the future, eventually replacing other form of documentation. Hong Kong is taking the lead in the development of Web 5 applications, helping corporations enhance their brand image and unlock new business opportunities, creating a win-win situation.

Dr. Herbert Lee, Founder and Chairman of Xtreme Business Enterprises Limited (XBE) said, "XBE is committed to promoting the development of Web 2 + Web 3, blockchain assets and smart city initiatives, synchronising the future development of Mainland China and Hong Kong. We are delighted to be using the DOT standard for STOs, which proves that the DOT technology created by our team can be applied to various assets and industries."

Mr. Daniel Wong, Chairman and CEO of China Information Technology Development Limited (CITD) said, "The use of blockchain technology in place of other documentation to issue bonds proves that we can fully implement and adopt the use of blockchain and smart contract technologies through DOT standard STO. We are encouraged to see Hong Kong taking a leading position in this arena."

As the pioneer of DOT Standard 3+2 STO, XBE uses blockchain and DOT technology to effectively address authentication of real tangible or intangible assets. By continuing to innovate and upgrade DOT, XBE aims to apply the technology to more assets and industries, create new value and revolutionise the development of digital assets – opening up new possibilities in Web 5 and consolidating its leading position in the industry.

About Xtreme Business Enterprises (XBE)
Xtreme Business Enterprises (XBE) is a technology group with deep expertise and broad experience in Web 5 (Web 2 + Web 3) and its responsible adoption and implementation by companies in all industries. XBE leverages blockchain and Digital Ownership Token (DOT) technology to revolutionise traditional business models, creating and enhancing the lasting value of intellectual property, including ownership and its rights. XBE is also an efficient venture builder and incubator of new technology companies and new business divisions. XBE has two successful companies that are presently already traded on the US Over-the-Counter (OTC) Markets, including COINLLECTIBLESTM, the world's first DOT company disrupting the arts and collectibles industry, and MARVIONTM, the world's first DOT company disrupting the media and entertainment industry.

Beachgoers could keep their drones, cameras, and phones always powered to capture the beautiful scenes and happy moments, or power their portable fans, projectors, and game consoles to have more fun from small power stations, like BLUETTI EB3A or EB70, which are placed on some table of the beach house. These mobile power sources have multiple AC and DC ports, even including wireless charging pads for multi-task charging.

At the bar counter in the VIP areas, the BLUETTI AC500 and B300S modular power giants will provide up to 5,000W of power for energy-hungry devices such as freezers, air conditioners, and kitchen appliances. Visitors can also explore other power solutions and juice up their devices in the display areas. BLUETTI's new release, the AC60, packs a punch and is resistant to water splashes and dust, making it the perfect power companion for beach activities.

Empowering a Sustainable Future

The collaboration between BLUETTI and Avex Beach Paradise showcases the potential of eco-friendly energy solutions in real-world settings. By witnessing the beach house's self-sustaining capabilities, visitors are encouraged to reflect on their energy consumption habits and switch to greener lifestyles.

Since its founding, BLUETTI has empowered people from all walks of life to experience the benefits of sustainable energy and reduce their carbon footprint. To date, the company has generated an impressive 883,075 kWh of electricity through solar power, resulting in a significant reduction of approximately 880 tons of CO2 emissions. With an unwavering commitment to making clean energy accessible to every household for a sustainable future, BLUETTI continues to drive positive change through various initiatives and efforts.
