Chief Executive Carrie Lam today held an online dialogue with more than 700 entrepreneurs and business executives from different corners of continental Europe to highlight Hong Kong’s unique advantages for doing business.
The dialogue session was co-organised by the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office (HKETO) in Brussels and the HKETO in Berlin with other business associations of Europe.
Mrs Lam said at the session that with Hong Kong’s strategic location and unique advantages under “one country, two systems”, the city represents the ideal gateway for European companies to access the vast Mainland China market, in particular, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
HONG KONG - In a sign that Hong Kong will see more buildings and streets undergo lockdowns amid the Covid-19 fight, the city’s leader Carrie Lam has insisted such operations are necessary to stay ahead of the virus even as she dismissed criticism that they are a waste of time and money.
Just hours after the lifting of four overnight lockdowns in specific areas in Kowloon and the New Territories, the government at about 7pm on Tuesday (Feb 2) launched similar operations in Sham Shui Po, Jordan and Tin Shui Wai – all in Kowloon peninsula.
Speaking ahead of the weekly Executive Council meeting, the city’s Chief Executive said the effectiveness of a lockdown cannot be measured by the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases found, after the four overnight lockdowns on Monday did not detect any positive case.
