"Both Hong Kong and the Middle East are key links in the Belt and Road Initiative. The Middle East embraces diversified economic development, and Hong Kong's world-class professional services could support the financing needs of the Belt and Road Initiative and entities."

Christopher Hui, secretary for financial services and the treasury of the HKSAR government, said at the ceremony that Hong Kong has become one of the most free and vibrant economies globally, which is not only a bridge to the mainland but also one of the growth engines for the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, creating an attractive development platform for investors around the world.
