STL commences visit to Beijing (with photos)
********************************************
     The Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Ms Mable Chan, commenced her two-day visit to Beijing today (August 18) and called on the Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

     The Permanent Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Mr Kevin Choi, and Deputy Secretaries for Transport and Logistics Ms Joan Hung and Miss Amy Chan, along with the Acting Director-General of Civil Aviation, Miss Clara Wong, also joined the visit. Upon their arrival in Beijing in the afternoon, they met with the Minister of Transport, Mr Liu Wei, to discuss various topics on sea, land and air transportation and logistics. Ms Chan and her delegation also had a meeting with Deputy Administrator of the CAAC Ms Liang Nan to give an update on Hong Kong's latest developments in aviation. The Chief Executive Officer of the Airport Authority Hong Kong, Mrs Vivian Cheung, also joined the meeting.

     Ms Chan said, "Shipping and aviation are both Hong Kong's 'golden reputation'. I am grateful for the co-ordination of relevant ministries, which has enabled Hong Kong to better leverage its advantage of enjoying the strong support of the motherland while being closely connected to the world. In terms of shipping and logistics, we are close to the vast hinterland of our country and are also easily accessible to international markets. We will continue to adopt an intermodal transport approach to consolidate and boost our cargo volumes, thereby better utilising and further solidifying Hong Kong's position as an international shipping centre. As for aviation, we engage in differential development with Mainland hub airports to achieve complementary advantages. Hong Kong is also honoured to be the first city outside the Mainland to be served by our country's home-developed aircraft C919. We look forward to further facilitating the expansion of C919 from Hong Kong to overseas markets and will continue to proactively offer support in areas such as aircraft maintenance, talent training, aircraft leasing and sales to promote the entry of home-developed aircraft into the international market."

     Ms Chan and her delegation also toured a local smart transport systems enterprise to learn how technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and robotics can bring efficiency to traffic management. The company was also among the fourth batch of strategic enterprises attracted to Hong Kong this year.

     Ms Chan and her delegation will continue their visit to Beijing tomorrow (August 19).
