Delegation of overseas government officials visits Hong Kong to foster exchanges (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     A delegation of 10 overseas government officials completed their three-day visit to Hong Kong today (June 18). During the visit, they met with senior government officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and visited major cultural and innovation and technology facilities to deepen their understanding of Hong Kong's advantages and development opportunities.
 
     The visit was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which invited government officials from 10 countries across Africa and Asia. The aim was to enhance exchanges and co-operation between Hong Kong and countries around the world, as well as expand the "circle of friends" of Hong Kong.
 
     The 10 countries concerned are Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Mauritania, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Tunisia.
 
     During their stay in Hong Kong, the delegation met with the Acting Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong; the Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Cheuk Wing-hing; and the Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, to exchange views and obtain a better understanding of Hong Kong's distinctive advantage of enjoying the strong support of the motherland while being closely connected to the world under the "one country, two systems" principle. The delegation also learned of Hong Kong’s important roles as a "super connector" and a "super value-adder" serving as a bridge between the Mainland and the rest of the world.
 
     They also met with the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui; the Under Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Dr Bernard Chan; and the Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Ms Lillian Cheong, as well as representatives of a number of relevant institutions. The delegation also visited the Hong Kong Science Park and West Kowloon Cultural District to learn about the city's latest developments and opportunities in finance, trade, innovation and technology, and arts and culture.
 
     The delegation departed for Shenzhen after their visit to Hong Kong to learn more about the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
