SCST continues visit to Paris (with photos)
*******************************************
     The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law, continued her visit to Paris, France.

     On July 4 (Paris time), Miss Law met with the Deputy General Manager of the French National Centre of Cinema (CNC) Mr Olivier Henrard. The CNC oversees France's policies related to cinema, audiovisual arts, digital creations, and video games. Mr Henrard highlighted the platforms provided by Hong Kong that have facilitated connections between film professionals from the two places. Miss Law underlined the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's commitment to supporting the creative industries and strengthening global partnerships in filmmaking, noting the significant potential for deeper collaboration between Hong Kong and France in this field.

     Miss Law also met with the Deputy Mayor of Paris Mr Arnaud Ngatcha to explore opportunities for enhancing cultural and tourism ties between Hong Kong and France. During their inspiring discussions, Miss Law expressed her gratitude for the collaborative efforts between museums in both regions. She also introduced the Hong Kong Wine and Dine Festival, a signature annual event organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, and shared her mission during her upcoming stop in Bordeaux to reconnect with the wine industry and community for potential collaborations. Mr Ngatcha expressed openness to strengthening partnerships in culture and tourism and shared insights on how to engage local communities in hosting large-scale events, drawing from Paris's experience with the Olympic Games.

     Earlier that morning, Miss Law toured Notre-Dame de Paris, where she learnt about the cathedral's ongoing restoration efforts and its significance as a global tourist attraction.

     Miss Law also met with the President of the Grand Palais, Mr Didier Fusillier, where discussions centred on the versatility of the Grand Palais as a venue for cultural, sports, and major events. Inspired by the Grand Palais innovative use of space for events and exhibitions, Miss Law remarked the potential for incorporating similar techniques in Hong Kong's venues, particularly the new state-of-the-art Kai Tak Sports Park. She emphasised her vision of enhancing Hong Kong's global profile through multi-disciplinary events of varying scales.

     On July 5 (Paris time), Miss Law visited two of Paris's most renowned museums: the Musée National des Arts Asiatiques - Guimet and the Musée d'Orsay. She recognised the distinctive cultural and artistic importance of each institution. With the mission of reinforcing Hong Kong as a premier cultural hub, Miss Law gained some thoughts to explore opportunities for strengthening cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and France through exhibitions, partnerships, and knowledge sharing.

     Miss Law will continue her visit to France and head for Bordeaux on July 6 (Paris time).
