BEIJING, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Chinese President Xi Jinping met respectively with Colombian President Gustavo Petro and Chilean President Gabriel Boric on Wednesday, who are in Beijing for the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC (the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum.

When meeting with his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro, Xi said China and Colombia should take the latter’s formal accession to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as an opportunity to upgrade bilateral cooperation, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

After their meeting, the two heads of state witnessed the signing of a cooperation plan between the two governments on jointly building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road.

Noting Colombia’s significance in Latin America, Xi said China has always regarded its relations with the country from a strategic and long-term perspective.

“This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Colombia. Standing at a new historical starting point, China is willing to make joint efforts with Colombia to advance our strategic partnership and bring more benefits to the two peoples,” Xi said, per Xinhua.

The successful holding of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum has sent a positive signal to the world for seeking shared development and revitalization, Xi said, hailing the contribution of Colombia to the meeting as the CELAC rotating chair.

China is willing to work with Colombia and other LAC countries to continuously promote the building of a community with a shared future, Xi said.

Petro said Colombia looks forward to further boosting ties with China, and that both sides should deepen political mutual trust and enhance mutual support. He called on both sides to work on the BRI, expand cooperation in areas such as trade, infrastructure, new energy and AI, and improve people’s lives, according to Xinhua.

Noting that the international situation is complex and volatile, Petro said the practices adopted by some countries to pursue unilateral gains are not conducive to the world, and all countries should stand together to respond.

Noting that this year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Chile, Xi told Chilean leader Boric that the two countries should constantly enrich the connotation of their comprehensive strategic partnership, create a model of common development between China and Latin American countries, set a stellar example of South-South cooperation, and jointly promote the cause of peace and progress for humanity, per Xinhua.

Xi said China is willing to work with Chile to consolidate political mutual trust, enhance exchanges of experience in governance, firmly support each other on issues concerning their core interests and major concerns, and safeguard each other’s sovereignty, security and development interests.

Xi called on the two countries to implement the Belt and Road cooperation plan, deepen cooperation on agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries, industrial investment, infrastructure and green minerals, and cultivate new growth points in astronomy, polar regions, artificial intelligence, biomedicine and the digital economy.

Noting that China has become Chile’s most important trading partner, Boric said that bilateral cooperation has benefited the two peoples, according to Xinhua.

He said Chile will firmly adhere to the one-China principle, and that it is ready to expand cooperation with China on trade, investment and artificial intelligence, jointly advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and strengthen people-to-people and cultural exchanges.

On Tuesday, Xi also held talks with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Beijing.

At the Great Hall of the People, Xi and Lula witnessed the signing of 20 cooperation documents covering the fields of development strategy alignment, science and technology, agriculture, digital economy, finance, inspection and quarantine, and media.

The fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum was held in Beijing on Tuesday. The meeting adopted the Beijing declaration and the China-CELAC joint action plan for cooperation in key areas (2025-2027).   

Diversified cooperation

At the press conference on Wednesday, Lula said that the Beijing Declaration is an inspiration for developing countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Beijing Declaration brings hope. It shows that economically strong countries like China are thinking about how to contribute to the development of the poorest countries, Lula said.

Posting a video of the signing of cooperation plan on BRI on social media platform X on Wednesday, Petro wrote that “the history of our foreign relations is changing.”

“From now on, Colombia will interact with the entire world on a footing of equality and freedom,” he wrote.

Deepened cooperation between China and CELAC members at the forum sends an important signal to countries in the Global South that their collaboration can obtain opportunities for diversified development through the Chinese market, Yin Zhiguang, a professor in international politics at Fudan University, told the Global Times.

Equal partnership

China does not demand reforms, nor cuts to rights, nor privatizations in exchange for investments, but only advocates cooperation and partnership. That is why the Beijing Declaration could be the new milestone in the economic and diplomatic orientation of Latin America in the 21st century, wrote Leonardo Attuch, founder and CEO of Brasil 247, a Brazilian news and political analysis website.

The forum reflects China’s consistent support for the cause of the Global South, which is to promote an international order that is more equal, just and free from the dominance and interference of major powers, said Yin, pointing out that the slew of outcome documents indicate that great power politics is not the only option – multilateral cooperation, consultation, and mutual assistance is also a model of global governance.

Mission Critical Partners Announces Launch of its Justice Integration Hub in Support of the City of New Orleans

The $30 million ARPA-funded initiative connects public-safety and justice agencies, accelerates case processing and improves service to the community.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Mission Critical Partners today announced the launch of its Justice Integration Hub in support of the city of New Orleans’ Justice Technology Modernization Program (JTMP). JTMP is a multiyear initiative that replaced several decades-old systems with a unified, cloud-based platform designed to improve public safety and access to justice by streamlining operations and strengthening transparency across the city and Orleans Parish criminal-justice ecosystem.

“The Justice Integration Hub is not just a technology milestone; it’s a fundamental shift in how justice is delivered,” said Darrin Reilly, president and CEO, Mission Critical Partners.

The Justice Integration Hub facilitates the seamless flow of information throughout the Parish’s complex criminal-justice ecosystem. Funded through a $30 million allocation from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), JTMP represents one of the most comprehensive justice technology overhauls in the country, modernizing and transforming more than 40 years of legacy infrastructure. The program integrates the area’s entire criminal justice ecosystem — including the New Orleans Police Department, Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office and Justice Center, District Attorney, Public Defender, Criminal District Court, and Clerk of Court — into a single, connected environment.

“The integration hub fundamentally changes how our justice agencies work together,” said Nathaniel Weaver, JTMP director. “Instead of information stopping at the boundaries between agencies, it can move securely in real time, allowing people to spend less time reentering data and more time making the decisions that move cases forward.”

From Fragmentation to Real-Time Coordination

For years, criminal-justice agencies in New Orleans and Orleans Parish operated on outdated, siloed systems that limited collaboration, slowed case processing, and created cross-department inefficiencies.

The Justice Enterprise Hub is built on Microsoft Azure and leverages a standardized enterprise data model aligned with national data-sharing models. A secure integration hub enables real-time data sharing across agencies, ensuring that critical information is accessible when and where it is needed.

Immediate Impact Across the Community

The Justice Enterprise Hub already is helping to deliver measurable improvements:

Patrol officers now have additional hours each week to spend in New Orleans communities and respond to emergencies due to more efficient digital arrest-processing workflows.Data sharing from the jail to the court facilitates automated creation of cases and scheduling of court appearances, saving approximately 6,000 hours of time clerks would spend on data entry.Faster information sharing between agencies is helping reduce hearing delays, streamline inmate transport coordination, and improve overall justice system efficiency. This significantly reduces incarceration costs and generates measurable operational savings.

A Foundation for the Future of Justice

With the core platform now fully operational, New Orleans and Orleans Parish are positioned to build on this foundation with advanced capabilities, including AI-assisted case processing, digital evidence management, and expanded state-level data integration.

“The Justice Integration Hub is not just a technology milestone; it’s a fundamental shift in how justice is delivered,” said Darrin Reilly, MCP’s president and CEO. “New Orleans and Orleans Parish now have a nation-leading, scalable, and future-ready system that enables agencies to work together more effectively and collaboratively to better serve the public. We look forward to bringing this solution to more communities across the nation.”

The system was implemented in four phases, following a competitive nationwide process that selected Mission Critical Partners and Major Services, a New Orleans-based IT consulting firm, to oversee JTMP’s development, implementation, and coordinated go-live activities across all participating agencies. Those four phases went live in succession, between November 2025 and April 2026.

MadeAi Launches Dossier Expert, Bringing Agentic AI to Formulary and Value Dossier Development

New AI-powered solution transforms dossier creation and maintenance with source-level traceability, cross-functional collaboration, and up to 70% faster authoring and updates

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MadeAi™, a leader in AI-enabled evidence synthesis and life sciences solutions, today announced the launch of MadeAi Dossier Expert, a new AI-powered solution designed to transform how pharmaceutical and life sciences organizations create, review, and maintain formulary and value dossiers.

Traditionally, developing AMCP dossiers, global value dossiers, and health technology assessment (HTA) submissions requires months of coordination across HEOR, Clinical, Market Access, and Medical Writing teams. Evidence is dispersed across multiple sources, citations require extensive manual verification, and updates often trigger lengthy rounds of rewriting and review.

Dossier Expert replaces this fragmented process with a living, evidence-linked document that evolves as the underlying science changes.

Built to address one of the most time-consuming challenges facing Market Access and HEOR teams, Dossier Expert brings evidence management, AI-assisted authoring, citation verification, and cross-functional collaboration into a single, continuously updated environment.

From Static Documents to Living Evidence

Unlike traditional dossier authoring approaches that focus primarily on accelerating initial drafts, Dossier Expert is designed to streamline the entire dossier lifecycle—from first creation through ongoing evidence updates.

Key capabilities include:

AI-Powered Dossier Generation: Create structured AMCP, HTA, and value dossiers using customizable templates and AI-generated, evidence-grounded content.One-Click Citation Verification: Trace every AI-generated claim directly to its source document, with the supporting passage highlighted for immediate verification.Intelligent Evidence Updates: Automatically identify sections affected by changes in underlying evidence and selectively regenerate outdated content without overwriting human edits.Integrated Evidence Hub: Organize and connect indexed source materials directly to relevant dossier sections.Integrated MadeAi-LR: Access AI-enabled literature review directly for in-platform literature review support.Seamless Collaboration: Enable HEOR, Clinical, Market Access, and Medical Writing teams to work within one document, with built-in commenting, assignments, approvals, and version control.Flexible, Submission-Ready Outputs: Export approved dossiers to Word or PDF.

Accelerating Market Access Without Compromising Scientific Rigor

Dossier Expert is designed to deliver up to 70% faster dossier authoring and updates, while reducing the manual effort associated with evidence verification, document management, and recurring revisions.

“Creating a dossier is only part of the challenge. Keeping it scientifically current, fully traceable, and aligned across multiple stakeholders is where organizations lose enormous amounts of time,” said Gaugarin Oliver, Founder and CEO of MadeAi. “With Dossier Expert, we’re moving beyond AI-generated first drafts to a fundamentally different model: a living dossier that connects every claim to its evidence, identifies what needs updating, and enables experts to focus on scientific judgment rather than document administration.”

By combining AI-powered efficiency with human oversight and transparent source verification, Dossier Expert helps life sciences organizations accelerate evidence communication while maintaining the rigor required for payer and HTA engagement.
