******************************************************************************************
The Ombudsman, Mr Jack Chan, today (June 9) met with the Deputy Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and Vice Chairman of the National Commission of Supervision (NCS), Mr Fu Kui. Leading an NCS delegation to pay an official visit to Hong Kong, Mr Fu called on the Office of The Ombudsman and exchanged views with Mr Chan and the directorate.
At the meeting, Mr Chan outlined the Office's achievements, noting that his three strategic focuses, namely mediation, interdepartmental collaboration and cultivating a positive complaint culture, have all delivered significant results. He highlighted the Office's supervisory role over public administration in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and its commitment to promoting good governance and improving people's livelihood through investigations, recommendations and observations. Mr Chan also mentioned that the Hong Kong International Ombudsman Academy, which was established by the Office through internal resources, actively organises exchange activities locally, across the border and abroad to advocate the concept of maladministration prevention while serving as a bridge between the Mainland and global counterparts. He added that in late 2026, the Office will host the Asian Ombudsman Association (AOA)'s 30th anniversary celebration, including an international forum and the 27th meeting of the AOA's Board of Directors, to further deepen international co-operation and strengthen regional ties. At the meeting, Mr Chan and Mr Fu, both AOA Board members, also exchanged views on the AOA's remarkable accomplishments over the past three decades.
Mr Fu acknowledged and supported the Office's commitment to innovation, reform and the promotion of good governance, especially its effectiveness in addressing public concerns and its important supervisory role in enhancing public administration in the HKSAR. After the meeting, three Assistant Ombudsmen gave the delegation a guided tour of the Office and introduced the key responsibilities of its three major divisions. Mr Fu also took time to engage with the Chief Officers, encouraging them to uphold professionalism while striving to enhance public administration and improve people's livelihood.
Mr Chan expressed his gratitude to Mr Fu for his visit and to the NCS for its ongoing support and guidance for the Office. He reiterated his commitment to continue leading the Office in diligently performing its supervisory functions, while specifically and proactively aligning with the National 15th Five-Year Plan to drive high-quality development for public benefit. Leveraging Hong Kong's unique advantage of having strong support from the motherland and close connections to the world, the Office will strengthen both domestic co-ordination and international outreach, thereby fostering the sustained development and innovation of the ombudsman system.
