A new analysis shows millions more people struggling to meet basic food needs and, in some cases, being pushed into acute hunger due to the fallout of the Middle East crisis, in:
🔺 Afghanistan
🔺 Sri Lanka
🔺 Somalia
🆘 Worldwide, up to 45 million more people are at risk.
📣 The time to act is now.
The true test of a democracy is not how it treats the majority, but how it protects the rights of every citizen. My recent remarks in Parliament on the Anuradhapura case and the PTA.
Vietnam is going all-in on humanoid robots!
Vingroup, the country’s biggest conglomerate, has launched multiple humanoid subsidiaries since late 2024:
* VinRobotics (Nov 2024, $40M): Already deployed humanoids at VinFast for testing + released an open-source platform for developers.
* VinMotion (early 2025, $40M): Unveiled Motion2 production-ready humanoid in early 2026. Mass production targeted for late 2026 + opening shop in Southern California for US talent.
Vietnam is moving FAST in the global robotics race.
