SAN DIEGO, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has conducted a series of flight tests aimed at certifying the MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI). The flight tests began last year, and all planned testing was successfully completed in early April from GA-ASI's Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) near Grand Forks, North Dakota, using a company-owned MQ-9B.The FIKI flights build on earlier successful flight tests to evaluate flight characteristics with simulated ice shapes adhered to the aircraft as well as the aircraft's successful Cold Weather Validation and flights in the Arctic. FIKI certification will expand MQ-9B's abilities to provide all-weather surveillance capabilities for the many nations that have purchased the system for their military and civil support missions.The tests were flown using GA-ASI Internal Research and Development funding."We've approached these flight tests with great rigor," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "GA-ASI became the first RPA developer to receive a Military Type Certificate for MQ-9B (RAF Protector) last year, and now we're taking steps toward certifying the platform for FIKI. It's taking the resolve of GA-ASI to get this done for our user base."GA-ASI customers are looking for MQ-9B to operate in a full range of environmental conditions, from very hot to very cold, as well as icy conditions. One such customer is the Government of Canada, which has ordered 11 MQ-9B SkyGuardians®. The Canadian Directorate of Technical Airworthiness and Engineering Support, Canada's national military certification authority, was on site for portions of the flight test period and will use artifacts from the flights to certify MQ-9B to operate in FIKI conditions.The MQ-9B SkyGuardian and its maritime variant, SeaGuardian®, are multi-mission, multi-domain RPA that can operate in cold weather conditions. MQ-9B aircraft are being flown by the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force, Belgian Defence, and the Japan Coast Guard. In addition to Canada, MQ-9B has been selected by Denmark, Poland, Germany, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also been featured in various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Henry Tang said today at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium organised by The Legion d’Honneur Club that rising geopolitical tensions and protectionism reinforce the need to build a community with a shared future for mankind—a call made by the Chinese Mainland in which Hong Kong has an important role to play.The Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter). The Legion d’Honneur is the highest and most prestigious civilian and military honour of France, instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 and conferred by the President of France to recognise outstanding service or acts of bravery.The inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium, titled Regional Exchange and Institutional Cohesion, was held today. Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government, Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur, and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, officiated at the event. In addition, Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, shared with participants, including representatives from Australia, France, the Philippines, and Thailand, the development of Hong Kong as an international financial centre. (Photo 1, 2 & 3)In the welcome remarks, Henry Tang said that Hong Kong’s strength lies in international exchange and cooperation. Hong Kong has long been a staunch advocate of multilateralism as well as open and free economy. The city’s legal and financial infrastructure aligns with international standards. Under the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”, Hong Kong stands as an international financial centre and a global hub for business and culture, championing diversity, openness, and inclusion.He added that Hong Kong’s future brings vast opportunities. The National 15th Five-Year Plan clearly mandates that Hong Kong maintains its status as an international financial centre while developing an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange and an international I&T hub. Strategically located at the southeastern tip of China and serving as a pivotal gateway between China and the rest of the world, Hong Kong will certainly benefit from the development of our motherland.The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to deepen cooperation with its French counterparts—especially the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong & Macau—to pursue joint efforts in education, science, and culture, said Henry Tang, to enrich public life.He concluded that the true legacy of the Legion d’Honneur is not the medals they wear, but the trust they build. The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to serve as a dynamic global stage where that trust is translated into tangible action and meaningful impact.20 April 2026Photo 1: (From left to right) Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter); Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur; Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government; Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter), and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau.Photo 2: The Legion d’Honneur Club holds its first Asia-Pacific Symposium today, attended by Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (second right); Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government (fourth right); Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau (first right); Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (first left); Councillors of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter): David Li (third right); Michael Kadoorie (third left), and Christopher Cheng (second left).Photo 3: (From left to right) Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, and Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter).About The Legion d’Honneur ClubThe Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of The Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter). It was established in 2002. The Club fosters connections and creates opportunities for cross-cultural exchange, promoting French culture, language, and the arts between the HKSAR of China and France.

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At a private investment summit, Janet Yellen, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and former Chair of the Federal Reserve, noted that the outlook for U.S. interest rate policy remains uncertain. However, citing the current weakness in the labour market, she estimated that if a judgement were to be made today, there is a chance the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates once within this year. Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade, one of Asia’s leading family offices, added that the recent oil price shock has intensified global inflationary pressures. The ripple effects are spreading across the aviation, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and consumer sectors, leaving both businesses and households facing higher costs and greater volatility. Under these circumstances, while interest rate cuts are not impossible, the room for easing is limited.Against this backdrop, most Asian family offices remain pragmatic and cautious. At this stage, the focus is on increasing cash holdings and allocating to high quality fixed-income products to maintain ample liquidity, while closely monitoring policy and market signals and avoiding excessive leverage. Meanwhile, the U.S. fiscal deficit continues to surge, with the size of debt approaching US$40 trillion, or approximately 120% of the country’s GDP. Large fiscal deficits combined with political pressure to maintain low tax rates suggest that market structures and policy directions may undergo repeated adjustments.Over the next six to 12 months, investors may consider making reference to Berkshire Hathaway’s approach of increasing cash holdings to a higher level, as well as raising allocations to strategic and defensive assets with stable returns, notably the recent acquisitions of stakes in Chubb, United Healthcare Group and Tokio Marine. In the brief exchange with Dr. Yellen, Mr. Tam felt that diversifying risk was indeed an important point. Under the current global landscape, a viable strategy in the short term may be to remain vigilant and patiently await clearer signals from the Federal Reserve.Photo caption: Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade (right) and Dr. Janet Yellen, former US Treasury Secretary and former Chair of the Federal ReserveAbout Black Spade Capital Limited Black Spade Capital Limited is an established family office that manages the private investments of Mr. Lawrence Ho.

TAIWAN, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Positioned at the heart of East Asia and surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Taiwan is emerging as one of Asia's most compelling wellness travel destinations, offering a rare combination of geological diversity, cultural depth, and accessible luxury.Welcome to Taiwan and its richly diverse island-wide hot spring experience.Among its most distinctive natural assets are its hot springs. Formed by volcanic activity and deep mountain geology, Taiwan's hot springs are rich in minerals known to support relaxation and overall wellbeing. For international travellers, these are not simply bathing destinations, but immersive experiences that combine nature, culture, and lifestyle.Taiwan is home to 19 officially recognised hot spring regions, each defined by unique mineral compositions and surrounding landscapes. From sulphur-rich volcanic springs to clear sodium bicarbonate waters, the diversity of spring types places Taiwan among the most varied hot spring destinations in the world.Two locations in particular have gained international attention. Tai'an Hot Spring in Miaoli and Jiaoxi Hot Spring in Yilan were both honoured with the 2025 "Top Ten Springs, Top Ten Beauties" Gold Award, one of Taiwan's highest recognitions in the hot spring sector.Nestled within forested mountains, Tai'an offers a tranquil retreat known for its smooth, skin-enhancing waters and strong connection to indigenous culture. Jiaoxi, located on a rare flatland hot spring zone, is widely recognised for its unique alkaline spring quality and convenient access to urban infrastructure, making it especially attractive for short-stay international visitors.Across the island, hot spring temperatures average around 40°C, providing a consistently comfortable and restorative experience. From northern mountain ranges to southern coastal regions, travellers can experience hot spring bathing throughout all four seasons, positioning Taiwan as a year-round wellness destination.Accessibility is another key advantage. Taiwan's integrated transport network, including High-Speed Rail, Taiwan Railways, and the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle, allows visitors to travel efficiently between cities and remote hot spring areas. This infrastructure enables flexible itineraries that cater to both short visits and extended stays.Accommodation options are equally diverse. International travellers can choose from premium five-star hot spring resorts, boutique design hotels, and locally operated guesthouses, offering a wide spectrum of experiences across different price points.In addition to its natural springs, Taiwan's culinary landscape enhances the overall travel experience. Each hot spring region is closely connected to local agricultural produce and regional cuisine. Visitors can enjoy mountain-grown ingredients, fresh coastal seafood, and Taiwan's globally recognised street food culture, creating a holistic journey that integrates wellness and gastronomy.Taiwan's 19 hot spring regions are distributed across the island:● Northern Taiwan: New Beitou,Shamao Mountain,Yangmingshan,Wulai,Jinshan-Wanli, Jiaosi, NeiwanJianshi● Central Taiwan: Taian, Guguan, Dakeng, Wuri, Beigang Rivers, Dongpu● Southern Taiwan: Guanzihling, Baolai, Sichong River, Eastern Taiwan: Antong, Rueisuei, JhihbenAs global travellers increasingly seek destinations that offer both physical relaxation and cultural depth, Taiwan is extending a clear invitation to Southeast Asia.
