Seminar on Belt and Road Capacity Building Platforms promotes knowledge exchanges and collaboration (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Seminar on Belt and Road Capacity Building Platforms was held today (April 22) to introduce capacity-building opportunities, including those by public organisations and institutions in Hong Kong, with a view to exchanging knowledge for promoting development, deepening soft connectivity of rules and standards, exploring collaboration opportunities and enhancing people-to people bonds with Belt and Road (B&R) countries. 

     Organised by the Belt and Road Office with the theme of "Connecting Knowledge for Shared Prosperity: Advancing Belt and Road Soft Connectivity in Alignment with the 15th Five-Year Plan", the seminar aimed to promote the Belt and Road Capacity Building Platforms (Platforms). It featured some 20 public organisations and institutions, covering areas such as transport and logistics, financial services, legal services, development and construction, environment and ecology, innovation and technology, health, and integrity.

     The Commissioner for Belt and Road, Mr Nicholas Ho, said that the initiative of the Platforms is designed to serve as a two-way springboard for Hong Kong and its partners to learn and lead. "By sharing governance experience and professional expertise, we work alongside officials and professionals from B&R countries to build the skills, standards, and networks required to turn development goals into delivery - strengthening resilient economies, effective institutions, and sustainable development," he said.

     Representatives from about 30 consulates-general, honorary consulates and chambers of commerce of B&R countries in Hong Kong, etc, attended the seminar to know more about the Platforms and capacity-building programmes. They also exchanged views and explored collaboration opportunities. Representatives from the Hong Kong International Aviation Academy, the Hong Kong Productivity Council and the new Belt and Road Sustainable Green Development Training Centre gave briefings on their capacity-building programmes and collaboration with B&R partners. A representative from the International Organization for Mediation also introduced its work on promoting dispute resolution through mediation and other means.
