******************************************************************************************
     The Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau sponsored the participation of selected original Hong Kong comic works under the fourth edition of the Hong Kong Comics Support Programme (HKCSP) at the Comic Fiesta 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and set up the Hong Kong Pavilion to facilitate the industry's expansion into overseas markets and promote exchanges between the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian comic industries.

     Comic Fiesta 2025 took place on December 20 and 21. In addition to showcasing the 16 original Hong Kong comic works under the fourth edition of the HKCSP at the Hong Kong Pavilion, CCIDA sponsored the authors of the 16 comic works to attend the event in person and conduct drawing sessions. The set-up of the Hong Kong Pavilion was also supported by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. The two-day event attracted an enthusiastic response with around 10 000 visitors recorded, demonstrating Hong Kong's strong cultural soft power.

     The HKCSP nurtures Hong Kong comic artists and supports local comic companies. Since its launch in 2021, the HKCSP has supported publication of 63 original Hong Kong comic works, some of which won prestigious international awards. Through participating in overseas events such as the Angoulême International Comics Festival in France and Comic Fiesta in Malaysia, and local events such as Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong, comic works developed under the HKCSP have secured nearly 40 licensing agreements for publishing in different languages, showing the vast potential of Hong Kong creative industries.
