This September, the Hong Kong SAR Government unveiled its First Five-Year Plan that charts a roadmap for the city’s upcoming growth and development. This First Five-Year Plan is a forward-looking blueprint of profound significance. Coupled with the Policy Address, it provides clear, strategic and comprehensive directions for advancing our city — from accelerating the Northern Metropolis, driving tech innovation, and bolstering our financial core, to deepening Greater Bay Area integration, promoting cultural and green living, and enhancing social livelihoods. Collectively, these focuses create a path for Hong Kong “from stability to prosperity”, and we at the Chamber are pleased to see many of our suggestions being incorporated.

It is a tremendous honour for me to have been elected Chairman of the HKGCC, following the Chamber's Annual General Meeting on 3 June. I am also deeply grateful and indebted to the leadership of my predecessor, Ms Agnes Chan. Her efforts in strengthening the Chamber’s international partnerships and global networks have elevated our ability to connect our members with opportunities in Hong Kong and around the world to new levels.

At the dawn of the 15th Five-Year Plan, leveraging Hong Kong’s connectivity to identify new growth drivers has become a core priority for the business community. Amid an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape, the Chamber has played an active bridging role in helping businesses diversify risks and pursue high-quality growth opportunities. Earlier, Jeffrey Lam, HKGCC Council Member, and I facilitated a visit to Hong Kong by the Prime Minister of Uzbekistan and a delegation of more than 100 members. Mr Lam subsequently accompanied the Chief Executive on a mission to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
