*******************************************
The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law, said, "Mr Chan is currently the Chairman of the Board of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA). He has been dedicated to promoting the development of Hong Kong's arts and culture sectors over the years, and possesses extensive experience in executive management and public services. With the participation of Mr Chan, the Culture Commission will continue to bring together efforts of the cultural community to consolidate Hong Kong's position as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchanges."
The Government also announced that Mr Henry Tang Ying-yen has resigned as a member of the Culture Commission.
Miss Law expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Mr Tang for his significant contributions during his tenure as a member of the Culture Commission. She remarked, "Mr Tang offered valuable and constructive advice to the Government during the process of formulating the Blueprint for Arts and Culture and Creative Industries Development. He actively promoted the development of arts and culture as well as creative industries, advocated for the enhancement of Hong Kong's cultural soft power, and fostered cross-sectoral collaboration among the arts, culture and business communities. Under the leadership of Mr Tang, the WKCDA continued to play its role as a major strategic partner of the Government, elevating Hong Kong's international cultural status and appeal through establishing a cultural landmark that combines international perspectives with local characteristics, and curating diverse performing arts and exhibition projects."
