“M” Mark status awarded to Volleyball Nations League Hong Kong 2025 presented by China Life (Overseas)
The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded “M” Mark status to the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) Hong Kong 2025 presented by China Life (Overseas), scheduled to take place from June 18 to 22 at Kai Tak Arena.
The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (June 16), “The competition has moved to Kai Tak Arena, which is the first international volleyball event held at Kai Tak Sports Park. The VNL Hong Kong features elite teams from around the world. It not only promotes the development of volleyball in Hong Kong but also attracts overseas visitors to come to Hong Kong and stimulates the development of the hospitality, retail, and catering sectors, thereby further solidifying Hong Kong’s status as a centre for major international sports events.”
The “M” Mark System aims to encourage and help local National Sports Associations and private or non-government organisations to organise more major international sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be considered for “M” Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events.

Semaine nationale de l’identification du 16 au 22 juin
Source: Gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Caledonie
La Semaine nationale de l’Identification des chiens et des chats est de retour du 16 au 22 juin 2025. Cet événement permet de rappeler au grand public les enjeux majeurs liés à l’identification. Cette édition met en lumière le rôle essentiel de l’identification et constitue aussi un moment clé pour informer, accompagner et inciter les propriétaires à faire identifier leurs animaux, un geste qui se veut à la fois utile et responsable.
Pourquoi identifier son animal ?
L’identification est cruciale pour les chiens et les chats, car elle constitue le seul lien officiel entre un animal et son propriétaire et elle suivra l’animal tout au long de sa vie. Elle permet non seulement de retrouver plus facilement un animal perdu, mais joue également un rôle dans la prévention du vol et des trafics d’animaux. Pour rappel, l’identification sera bientôt obligatoire en Nouvelle-Calédonie.
Comment s’engager durant cette semaine ?
Que vous soyez un particulier ou un professionnel, chacun peut agir pour promouvoir l’identification des chiens et des chats. Voici comment contribuer à la sensibilisation autour de vous :
Pour les particuliers
- Parlez-en autour de vous ;
- Partagez nos publications sur vos réseaux sociaux ;
- Faites identifier votre animal s’il ne l’est pas déjà;
- Parlez-en avec votre vétérinaire.
Pour les professionnels du secteur animalier :
- Parlez-en à vos clients ;
- Affichez les affiches de la campagne dans vos établissements ;
- Relayez nos publications sur vos réseaux ou sur vos sites internet.
Chaque geste et l’implication de tous les acteurs concernés comptent pour faire de cette semaine un moment fort de mobilisation en faveur du bien-être animal.
Pour le protéger, faites-le identifier !
