In a Monday statement, EVN said leaders of CPECC and EVN recently had a meeting in Hanoi to discuss collaboration.

CPECC has joined 32 nuclear power projects in China and is preparing to raise its capacity to 60 GW in the next 10 years, the Chinese firm highlighted.

CPECC also emphasized its solutions to reduce emissions and improve the capacity and flexibility of coal-fired power plants. The solutions can help coal-fired power continue its key role as baseload for the national electricity system, it added.

For his part, Dang Hoang An, chairman of EVN said the state utility would consult with Vietnamese authorities to facilitate energy investments, amid the growing demand for electricity and the trend of energy transition.

At a meeting last week, PVN chairman Le Manh Hung urged CPECC to share nuclear power experiences as the Vietnamese energy group is studying this sector.

He noted that PVN will expand its activities beyond traditional activities of oil and gas to new sectors, such as carbon capture, utilization, storage (CCUS), LNG, green hydrogen, green ammonia, and offshore wind power.

In reply, CPECC said it is willing to cooperate with PVN in offshore wind power, renovation of thermal power plants, and renewable-green energy.

In February 2025, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assigned state-owned groups EVN and PVN to be investors of Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 nuclear power plants, respectively.

The PM also requested the Ministry of Industry and Trade to coordinate with relevant agencies to get nuclear power plants built towards completion by end-2030, or end-2031 at the latest.

Many countries have expressed their willingness to coooperate with Vietnam in nuclear power, such as South Korea, Russia, Japan, and France.

In an extraordinary achievement, Winner Medical has reached a significant milestone by selling over 12.9 billion pieces of its innovative Winner 100% cotton face towels globally in 2024.

NEW YORK, March 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In an extraordinary achievement, Winner Medical has reached a significant milestone by selling over 12.9 billion pieces of its innovative Winner 100% cotton face towels globally in 2024. These ultra soft face towels are designed to improve skin health and have proven effective in reducing allergies and redness within just four weeks of use. This solidifies the company’s position as the pioneer of 100% cotton face towels globally.

Part of this sales growth stems from a shift in consumer habits. A study found that 71% of people experience sensitive skin to some extent. Increasing awareness of sensitive skin issues in many countries, including the US, has boosted demand for products designed for sensitive skin. This trend includes a shift towards using gentle cleansing products and supplies. As a result, traditional towels, now often perceived as breeding grounds for millions of microbes even when they appear clean, are being replaced by softer cotton towels that are gentler on sensitive skin.

Winner Medical’s patented cotton spun-lace nonwoven technology, derived from advanced medical innovations, is the key to creating the Winner 100% cotton face towels. The exclusive use of natural cotton fibers further enhances the quality of the face towels, delivering a gentle and refreshing face-cleansing experience to users.

Renowned for their exceptional moisture, softness and absorption, natural cotton-made face towels serve as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials and paper products, which often contribute to deforestation. This sustainable choice ensures that quality remains uncompromised, offering superior skincare benefits while being biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Each Winner 100% cotton face towel provides an ultra-soft experience. The indulgence of pure cotton gently caresses the skin, ensuring a refreshing and gentle cleanse with every use, which has garnered acclaim for its effectiveness in improving skin conditions such as dryness and irritation.

Professional Assessments and Customer Feedback Validate Performance

Professional evaluations have underscored the efficacy of the Winner 100% cotton face towels. Clinical report from PULYN Research institute reveals substantial enhancements following the use of the product. Notably, after four weeks (or 28 days) of use, there is a reduction in skin damage, exceeding 33%, alongside a decrease in irritation scores by around 30%. The improvement rate for redness is particularly impressive, standing at 84%, while dryness scores show an enhancement of over 72%. These statistics underscore the product’s potential to enhance skincare routines, offering a more effective approach to addressing common concerns during skin cleansing.

In addition to professional evaluations, consumer feedback reflects high satisfaction levels.

Users have praised the performance of these disposable face towels, noting their thickness and ease of use, which help prevent bacterial contamination post-wash—crucial for acne-prone skin types. Another long-term user commended that the extra-large size ensures comprehensive coverage for cleansing while highlighting the towel’s soft texture that efficiently removes impurities without harshness.

As Winner Medical continues to innovate within the healthcare sector, its focus remains on providing products that combine sustainability with high efficiency. The company anticipates maintaining growth trends as more consumers become aware of the benefits offered by using all-natural, single-use cotton face towels.
