Both sides will deepen collaboration in areas such as the development and application of building fire safety standards, as well as the benchmarking and transformation of fire-testing technologies. Regular exchanges and trainings will also be strengthened with a view to jointly promoting the development of firefighting professions.
In addition, the delegation visited the Ministry of Emergency Management today (October 15) and met with its Vice Minister Mr Xu Jiaai. During the meeting, Mr Yeung outlined the work of Hong Kong's fire and ambulance services, and the FSD's future development plans. Mr Yeung expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Emergency Management for its continuous support to the FSD in areas such as regional and international emergency rescue co-operation, as well as professional exchanges and personnel trainings.
The FSD will continue to strengthen exchanges and collaboration with the country's emergency departments, and proactively explore more opportunities for exchanges with global counterparts to jointly promote the high-quality development of the national and worldwide emergency response professions.
