Over the years, the SMEC has rendered a lot of constructive advice to the Government, and made significant contributions in supporting SMEs in Hong Kong. I am confident that the SMEC will in the new term continue to offer valuable advice and assist the Government in formulating policies that facilitate the development of SMEs."
