Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was awarded the title of honorary professor by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences on Tuesday in Beijing, in recognition of his contributions to promoting agricultural science and technology cooperation between China and Pakistan.巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫周二在北京被中国农业科学院授予名誉教授称号，以表彰他为推动中巴农业科技合作所作出的贡献。Speaking at the ceremony, Sharif said that agriculture remained a key topic of discussion during his meetings with Chinese leaders.夏巴兹在仪式上表示，农业是他与中国领导人会晤期间讨论的关键议题。He said that Pakistan hopes to learn from China's development experience and expand cooperation in areas such as crop breeding, animal husbandry, climate-smart agriculture, agricultural machinery and agricultural product processing, in order to improve productivity and added value.他说，巴基斯坦希望学习中国的发展经验，扩大在作物育种、畜牧业、气候智慧型农业、农业机械以及农产品加工等领域的合作，以提高生产力和附加值。Sharif announced that Pakistan will launch the second phase of its "Thousand Talents Plan", which will see 1,000 more young people from Pakistan sent to Chinese agricultural institutions to study and undertake training.夏巴兹宣布，巴基斯坦将启动“千人计划”第二阶段，再派遣千余名巴基斯坦青年到中国农业院校学习和培训。"I propose sending 1,000 students and fresh agriculture graduates from all provinces of Pakistan to Chinese universities for formal courses and modern agricultural training," he said.他说：“我提议从巴基斯坦各省选派1000名学生和应届农业毕业生，到中国大学学习正规课程和现代农业培训。”Sharif's four-day official visit to China, which concluded on Tuesday, is an important high-level exchange between the two countries as this month marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations.夏巴兹对中国的四天正式访问于5月26日结束。此次访问是中巴两国间一次重要的高层交流，本月恰逢两国建交75周年。His announcement was warmly welcomed by Pakistani students at the academy, many of whom view China's agricultural modernization as a model for Pakistan's rural development.他的这一表态当即获得在该院学习的巴基斯坦学生热烈回应，他们中许多人把中国农业现代化看作巴基斯坦农村发展的样板。Nadeem Sarwar, a Pakistani scholar pursuing a PhD in agricultural water resources and environment at CAAS, said that the initiative would create valuable opportunities for more young people in Pakistan.在中国农科院攻读农业水资源与环境博士学位的巴基斯坦学者纳迪姆·萨瓦尔（音译）表示，这一举措将为更多巴基斯坦年轻人创造宝贵机会。"More Pakistani graduates will have the opportunity to gain knowledge, experience and exposure at Chinese institutions. When they return to Pakistan, they can contribute to developing the agricultural sector there," he said.他说：“更多巴基斯坦毕业生将有机会在中国院校获取知识、经验和视野。当他们回到巴基斯坦后，可以为那里的农业发展做出贡献。”Sarwar's research focuses on improving the efficiency of agricultural water use, an issue he said is particularly important for Pakistan.萨瓦尔的研究重点是提高农业用水效率。他表示，这一问题对巴基斯坦尤为重要。"China has made great progress (in agriculture), especially in improving water-use efficiency," he said, adding that he hopes to use China's technologies and experience to boost Pakistan's agricultural productivity and improve its management of resources.他说：“中国（在农业方面）取得了巨大进步，尤其是在提高用水效率方面。”他还表示，希望利用中国的技术和经验来提高巴基斯坦的农业生产力和资源管理水平。Muhammad Shahzad, also a PhD scholar at CAAS, who is studying animal genetics, breeding and reproduction, described the occasion as "a really big day" for Pakistani students. "It is a matter of great pride for all Pakistanis that China truly acknowledges Pakistan and values our friendship."同样在中国农科院攻读博士学位的穆罕默德·沙赫扎德（音译），研究方向为动物遗传育种与繁殖。他将这一时刻形容为巴基斯坦学生“真正的大日子”。“中国真正认可巴基斯坦并珍视我们的友谊，这是所有巴基斯坦人的骄傲。”Shahzad noted that Pakistan's livestock industry plays a major role in the country's agricultural economy, and that scientific breeding is essential for improving productivity. "Our animals are resilient to hot weather and diseases, but we need more scientific breeding," he said.沙赫扎德指出，巴基斯坦畜牧业在该国农业经济中占有重要地位，科学育种对提高生产力至关重要。“我们的牲畜耐热、抗病，但我们需要更科学的育种方法，”他说。Huang Sanwen, president of CAAS and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that CAAS has established multiple joint platforms with Pakistani partners, including laboratories for cotton biotechnology, sustainable crop pest control and molecular breeding of wheat.中国农科院院长、中国科学院院士黄三文表示，中国农科院已与巴方伙伴建立了多个联合平台，包括棉花生物技术、可持续作物病虫害防治以及小麦分子育种等实验室。Huang said that the academy has also promoted cooperation in crop breeding, prevention of animal and plant diseases, water and soil resource management, and agricultural product processing.黄三文说，农科院还推动了作物育种、动植物疫病防控、水土资源管理以及农产品加工等领域的合作。CAAS has trained more than 300 Pakistani students over the years and established a China-Pakistan Agricultural Technology Working Group with the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, to institutionalize cooperation and strengthen capacity-building efforts, he added.他补充说，中国农科院多年来已培训了300多名巴基斯坦学生，并与巴基斯坦农业研究理事会共同成立了中巴农业技术工作组，以实现合作机制化，加强能力建设。He Zhonghu, a researcher at the academy's Institute of Crop Sciences, who has worked with Pakistani researchers for more than two decades, said that China and Pakistan have already achieved remarkable results through joint agricultural research.中国农科院作物科学研究所研究员何中虎与巴基斯坦研究人员合作已有二十余年。他表示，中巴两国通过联合农业研究已经取得了显著成果。A wheat variety developed by Chinese and Pakistani researchers has recently been approved in Pakistan following years of field testing.经过多年田间试验，中巴研究人员共同培育的一个小麦品种最近在巴基斯坦获得审定。The variety yields about 10 percent more than local varieties, matures earlier than them and has strong resistance to lodging (stem bending or breakage), said He, who is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.身兼中国工程院院士的何中虎介绍说，该品种比当地品种增产约10%，成熟期更早，抗倒伏能力强。"We are very happy to contribute what we can to Pakistan's agricultural development and food security," he added.“我们很高兴能为巴基斯坦的农业发展和粮食安全尽一份力，”他补充道。The researcher, who has trained 10 Pakistani PhD scholars and a number of agricultural technicians at the institute, said that future training methods should focus more on applying new technologies rather than on basic research.何中虎在该院已培养了10名巴基斯坦博士研究生和多名农业技术人员。他表示，未来的培训方法应更多地聚焦于新技术应用，而非基础研究。For example, students studying genetics or wheat breeding should also be taken to experimental fields, seed companies and flour mills for hands-on experience, he said.他例如，学习遗传学或小麦育种的学生也应被带到试验田、种子公司和面粉厂，以获得实践经验。in recognition of /ɪn ˌrekəɡˈnɪʃən əv/以表彰…crop breeding /krɒp ˈbriːdɪŋ/作物育种livestock industry /ˈlaɪvstɒk ˈɪndəstri/畜牧业sustainable crop pest control /səˈsteɪnəbəl krɒp pest kənˈtrəʊl/可持续作物病虫害防治molecular breeding /məˈlekjʊlə ˈbriːdɪŋ/分子育种lodging /ˈlɒdʒɪŋ/倒伏（农作物）

The latest bouts of extreme geopolitical turbulence in the last year to 18 months have triggered a variety of short-term and longer-term responses to keep supply chains moving to, from, through, or around different parts of the world. This issue of the magazine examines some of these shifts in patterns and processes through the experiences of air cargo stakeholders, from various perspectives. For example, Washington's trade war, modal shift, and supply chain restructuring are among the factors affecting pharma air logistics supply chains, as manufacturers seek to minimise risks and costs, and improve quality and resilience, as discussed in the Pharma report (page 4). Meanwhile, new packaging innovations and cost pressures have encouraged a move from active containers towards passive solutions. The Middle East report (page 16) explores how the sector has adapted to this year's extraordinary challenges and fast-changing developments, within a high-risk, highly volatile environment. Among the many reflections, these developments have underscored the region's importance within interconnected global supply chains, and the ability of air cargo stakeholders to keep cargo moving despite extreme disruptions. The situation in the Middle East has also added to various already fast-evolving dynamics in Africa's air cargo markets (page 10), as geopolitical shifts push more traffic through this continent, and where reliability, flexibility, and smarter digital execution are increasingly valued amid the continuing infrastructure challenges. The recent turbulence has further underlined air cargo stakeholders' extraordinary agility, and the crucial role the sector plays in global trade resilience and economic growth. It also illustrates the growing role of data and technology in resilience and reacting rapidly, effectively, and efficiently to fast-changing circumstances. The magazine also highlights the increasing contribution generative Ai is beginning to make and expected to deliver, but also air cargo's role in transporting global Ai-related goods. These were among the themes at IATA's World Cargo Symposium in March, highlighted in the WCS Conference Report (page 52). The magazine also features an in-depth Women in Air Cargo report (page 32) exploring the state of gender diversity within the sector following the conclusion in December of IATA's 25by2025 initiative. It examines, among other things, why IATA's 18-person Cargo Advisory Council is currently 100% male, and what progress is being made to strengthen diversity in air cargo leadership pipelines. It also asks various women working within air cargo about their experiences, what has supported and encouraged them, and what more needs to be done to improve diversity – which is vital for good decision-making, for optimising the talent pool, and creating a workplace and workforce fit for the future.

This week on EMS One-Stop, Rob Lawrence sits down with Sarah McEntee, executive director of the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS), to unpack what accreditation really means for modern EMS systems. Moving beyond the “sticker on the truck,” Sarah reframes CAAS as a living, breathing process — one that drives internal improvement, organizational alignment and long-term sustainability. From its origins within the American Ambulance Association in the 1990s, to the latest Version 4.0 standards, the conversation highlights how CAAS provides a unified, industry-driven framework that elevates agencies from compliant to high-performing. Rob brings a practitioner's perspective, reflecting on his own experience navigating multiple accreditation cycles, emphasizing how CAAS becomes a “guiding light” for governance, clinical care and operational excellence. Together, they explore the structure of the standards, the application journey, and the cultural readiness required to succeed. The key takeaway is clear: accreditation is not a project with an endpoint — it's a continuous process that strengthens organizations from the inside out, identifying risks, improving systems, and ultimately delivering better care to patients and communities.

In the turbulence and uncertainty of the past 12 months, some new patterns have emerged, while certain old trends, tendencies and truths have been further highlighted, underlined and reinforced – or in some cases, left behind. Many of these are illustrated in the accounts of air cargo industry experts and senior stakeholders within the Outlook 2026 Report within this magazine (pages 4-49). Senior industry leaders from freight forwarding companies, carriers, airports, cargo handlers, technology specialists, associations, and other organisations describe their recent experiences and how they have responded to key changing market conditions and circumstances, and new trends and patterns. Emerging themes include the ever-increasing importance of resilience, responsiveness, visibility, and good data. Ai is mentioned frequently, and you will have your own experiences with this. New use cases within air cargo will continue to emerge this year, and air cargo will continue to play a key role in transporting the semiconductors and other technologies that support its development – and the wider supply chains of this and other verticals – as cargo owners and their logistics partners navigate complex and fast-changing tariff, trade, and competitive dynamics. Some of these trends are explored in further detail within the report on North America (page 50), where stakeholders have faced the sharp end of fast-changing tariff and trade rules. In the GSA Interviews section (pages 57-65), GSAs highlight how recent market changes have affected their businesses, and new trends in outsourcing airline cargo sales, services and operations – where closer partnerships and predictive data are particularly emphasised. And in the Technology Interview (page 68), CargoAI CEO Matt Petot outlines how innovation, automation, and Ai are steadily redefining how the industry operates. In the 'year of the wood snake' that we recently left, many companies and individuals have needed to shed old skins and past behaviours, expectations, and business practices, amid last year's extreme geopolitical and trade turbulence, and further advances in Ai. The 'year of the fire horse' seems sure to bring new dynamic challenges – and opportunities for those agile and versatile enough to respond positively to them. The next issue of CAAS will include a substantial article on 'Women in Air Cargo', based around the conclusion of IATA's 25by2025 initiative and interviews with a variety of women working at senior levels within air cargo and allied sectors. It was originally planned for this Spring edition, but I have rescheduled it in order to strengthen the article by including a wider diversity of voices. It will be part of a greater focus within CAAS on people issues within the sector, which will include topics such as training, recruitment, and diversity.

Welcome to the Boomer Briefing Podcast – your 20-minute insight into the conversations shaping the future of the accounting profession. In this episode, Jim Boomer and Jacqueline Lombardo share highlights from the latest CAAS Circle meetings, where leaders of client accounting and advisory services came together to discuss growth, pricing, technology, and talent. From the rising urgency around AI adoption and upskilling to rethinking pricing strategies and packaging, this conversation explores how firms are modernizing their CAS practices. Jim and Jacqueline also unpack how future-ready firms are approaching recruiting, retention, and leadership development—and why creating clarity and urgency at every level is key to staying relevant in a rapidly changing market.

This extraordinary year continues to deliver new surprises for the air cargo sector and the world alike, particularly in the field of cross-border e-commerce logistics. As highlighted in our E-commerce Report on page 4, higher US tariffs and the end of US 'de minimis' exemptions have had a profound impact on e-commerce flows, prompting a significant shift in China-US freighter capacity to other markets globally. An initial steep decline in air freight volumes from China to the US has subsequently moderated, although it is still significant – especially from Hong Kong and southern China. Exports of low-value and e-commerce goods from China to Europe are up by around 60% – double the growth rate a year ago. Some European airports such as Budapest (BUD) have seen their overall air cargo volumes rise by close to 50% this year, although the rapid growth began even before US President Trump's interventions this year. Çelebi Group CEO Dave Dorner, in an interview on page 12, estimates that cargo through BUD has risen by around 200% in the last two years. As the Europe Report highlights (page 20), Europe's top 10 cargo airports have seen barely 1% growth in international air cargo traffic this year, whereas smaller, specialist cargo airports – often favoured by e-commerce shippers – have grown much more rapidly. Alongside BUD, Prague, Warsaw, Liège, Brussels, and East Midlands airports have reported significant rises in cargo traffic. Elsewhere, various cargo airports in Asia have recorded strong growth again this year, with southeast Asian countries including Vietnam and Thailand among those helping to replace China as sources for US imports. Another highlight in Asia is India, as the country's exports and air cargo capabilities continue to build. Those capabilities will include a new major airport for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region from the end of this year with the opening of Navi Mumbai International Airport (page 34). Its opening as 'complementary capacity' to BOM marks a key stage in the fulfilment of a dual-airport strategy for the region, and for India's air cargo market. The new airport is also less than 20km north of India's largest container port, JNPT, and there are ambitious plans to create synergies between these air and ocean nodes. Potential synergies between air and ocean freight are a recurring theme in this edition of CAAS, highlighted in the interview with Kale Logistics' CEO Amar More on page 28, along with the potential of Ai within air cargo. Both also featured among the discussions at October's ACHL conference in Copenhagen (page 46). But speakers at ACHL cautioned that the potential of Ai within air cargo was limited by the quality of the data that feed it, which must remain a priority focus area for stakeholders throughout the sector.

Have you ever searched for wellness resources that truly understand what it means to be a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant? You're not alone. Wellness Wednesday are candid conversations about the unique challenges and opportunities facing CAAs in their pursuit of sustainable wellbeing.In this episode, we discuss the quiet tug-of-war between boundless ambition and a life that actually feels good (especially for high-achieving CAAs, SAAs, and pre-AAs trained to do more, faster, and better). We unpack the core idea, “you can do anything, but you can't do everything”, and sit with the grief inside it. Every 'yes' creates a cascade of invisible no's, and pretending that doesn't hurt keeps us stuck. Naming seasons changes the game. Whether you're a practicing CAA, AA student, or prospective applicant, this episode marks the beginning of a community-centered approach to wellness that finally names and validates your experience.

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence climbs back onto his soapbox to discuss two topics that directly impact on every EMS agency in America — the CAAS Ground Vehicle Standards (GVS) 4.0 and the simple, inexpensive steps we can take to stop ambulance theft. Joining Rob is longtime EMS leader and current CAAS GVS Administrator Mark Postma, who walks us through the origins of the standards, their national adoption and what's new in the latest update. From ambulance remounting, to structural safety testing, Mark explains how GVS 4.0 has evolved to keep pace with manufacturing realities, supply chain delays and operational needs. The conversation then shifts to a shared passion for protecting fleet assets. Rob and Mark dissect the shockingly frequent problem of ambulance theft and how a $200 automatic immobilization device can prevent a $250,000 vehicle from disappearing — without relying on crews to remember to lock it.

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence sits down with Danielle Thomas, chief operating officer, Lifeline EMS of Los Angeles, to explore how her team is harnessing “actual intelligence” — through a proprietary, closed-source AI platform called InCheck — to solve a perennial EMS headache: information overload. Thomas explains how embedding agency-specific protocols, an 800-page policy manual and multi-language translation into a single voice-activated app gives every crew member a “mentor in their pocket,” shrinking cognitive load, sharpening clinical decision-making and smoothing onboarding during the critical first 80 hours of employment. | More: From 73 to 33 minutes: How Sacramento reinvented patient offload times  The conversation ranges from her move from Boston to California and the regulatory culture shock that followed, to Lifeline's recent CAAS accreditation push and the wider potential of AI-driven tools to boost recruitment, retention, compliance and patient safety. In the second half, Rob and Danielle expanded the conversation from tools to leadership strategy, focusing on how EMS agencies can better support staff in high-pressure, multi-jurisdictional environments. Thomas shares how her team tackled issues like protocol confusion, inconsistent policy knowledge and language barriers — not by adding more training sessions, but by rethinking how information is delivered, accessed and retained on the front lines. She emphasizes the importance of aligning education with the way today's workforce learns, communicates and engages — especially during the critical first days of employment. The episode closes with a preview of Danielle's upcoming AAA conference presentation with Carly Strong, which challenges perceptions of gender in EMS leadership and spotlights the untapped potential of inclusive, thoughtful organizational development. Memorable quotes “If you can, as the leader in an EMS organization, figure out how to enhance not only that first 80 hours, but that team member experience.” — Danielle Thomas “As everybody listening knows, I'm sure that every new policy probably has somebody's secret name attached to it because of what happened.” — Rob Lawrence “It honestly solves our recruitment and retention issues because they want to come to work.” — Danielle Thomas “I happen to believe that [AI is] an on-the-train or under at the moment kind of thing … we now have to move forward. It's part of our life. We have to embrace it and we have to employ it.” — Rob Lawrence “The left coast is more highly regulated and so I was not used to the labor laws in California and I was not used to the way that the local EMS authorities work.” — Danielle Thomas “I think every company I've worked at that that was a thing and so we had to create a solution to the problem we had, which was information overload.” — Danielle Thomas Episode timeline 01:25 – Welcome to Danielle Thomas 02:56 – East-to-West move and California's regulatory maze 4:12 – Lifeline EMS footprint across Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties 6:27 – The policy-overload dilemma in multi-county operations 10:01 – InCheck: turning 800 pages into actionable intel 14:53 – From AI skeptic to evangelist — programming county-specific protocols 18:30 – Five operating modes explained (Rampart, Angel, Nova, L-Chat Narrative) 28:00 – 100-language instant translation with Nova 34:51 – Building the tool in-house; cost and compliance advantages 38:43 – Preview of AAA Conference session, “Just one of the guys” 41:33 – Final takeaways: enhancing the first 80 hours and keeping crews engaged 42:44 – Closing remarks Rate and review the EMS One-Stop podcast Enjoying the show?
