***********************************************************************
     The Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Mr Lam Sai-hung, attended the Global Sustainable Transport Forum (2024) hosted by the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China in Beijing today (September 25). 

     This year's forum, themed "Sustainable Transport: Logistics Connecting the World", focuses on key topics including global governance, connectivity, common development, innovation-driven development and eco-sound development.

     Mr Lam participated in the forum's opening ceremony and a plenary session this morning. In the afternoon, he delivered a speech at a thematic session titled Connectivity - Strengthening Cooperation in Governance and Emergency Response, and Building Resilient International Logistics and Supply Chains, in which he mentioned the need to strengthen the resilience of global logistics supply chains in four directions, namely building extensive networks, upgrading technologies, exchanging information and deepening co-operation.

     "The international order is constantly changing, making it more important than ever to strengthen the resilience of logistics supply chains. We must construct a comprehensive and extensive transportation network to ensure the logistics network has adequate responsiveness and endurance. Continuous improvements to the technology level of the logistics industry, promotion of supply chain digitisation, seamless connections between various aspects, as well as the continuous strengthening of regional logistics co-operation will help enhance the resilience of logistics supply chains," Mr Lam said.

     Mr Lam then attended a Ministers' Forum titled Global Governance - Fostering a Global Sustainable Transport Partnership to exchange views with representatives from transport authorities and related enterprises of various countries and regions. After that, he met with Vice Minister of Transport Mr Li Yang, and briefed him on Hong Kong's latest developments, including aviation, maritime matters, usage of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as well as the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link.

     Mr Lam departed for Tianjin in the evening, and will attend the China Air Finance Development (DFTP) Summit tomorrow (September 26).
