"Belt and Road: Hong Kong - IN" was organized by the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (CEDB) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council.

Representatives from 10 state-owned enterprises and some 220 Hong Kong professionals attended the sharing session.

Edward Yau, the secretary for CEDB of the HKSAR, said Hong Kong has a rich pool of internationally recognized talents with abundant experience in legal services, accounting, insurance, and more.

These professionals stand ready to offer world-class risk assessment, consultancy and management services to enterprises in mitigating risks associated with Belt and Road development, said Yau.

Zhang Jihui, deputy director-general of the Bureau of International Cooperation of the SASAC of the State Council, said Hong Kong enjoys a multitude of advantages, including sound financial system, prudential regulations and abundant professionals.

State-owned enterprises could cooperate with Hong Kong enterprises and organizations with professional services to go global under the development of Belt and Road, said Zhang.
