***************************************************************
Following is the speech by the Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Cheuk Wing-hing, at the Tatler XFEST Hong Kong Open Training Session today (February 3):
Thank you, Michel (Chairman and CEO of Tatler Asia, Mr Michel Lamunière).
Hello everyone! It is absolutely fantastic to see so many football lovers here today at the Stadium. I can see and hear your excitement coming to the Stadium to watch the Open Training of the Inter Miami CF Team.
First of all, on behalf of the Hong Kong Government, may I extend a very warm welcome to the Inter Miami CF Team. Welcome to Hong Kong! I would also like to thank the organiser, Tatler Asia, for bringing this wonderful event to Hong Kong and for supporting our proposal to open this public training to 15 000 Hong Kong youngsters.
現在,我用廣東話和大家講幾句說話。大家好!國際邁阿密CF球隊今次訪港與香港隊比賽,本身是一項矚目的體育盛事,但是今日的公開訓練亦是一項很有意思的活動。
今天到場的觀眾,有15 000位是主辦機構和政府的特邀嘉賓。他們是香港的學生、青年、青少年運動員、殘疾運動員和基層家庭成員。我們希望透過這些安排,令廣大的香港青年人能夠參與這項體育盛事。
在公開訓練完畢之後,還會有18位香港青少年足球梯隊的成員,有機會與國際邁阿密CF球員進行交流,我希望他們得到啓發,日後出現香港的美斯、蘇亞雷斯!
最後,我祝願今天的活動和明天比賽順利舉行,我們大家一起欣賞國際邁阿密CF和香港隊的精彩演出!多謝大家!
