STORYLINE:

Deep engagement in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) will bring unlimited business opportunities to Hong Kong and make its future full of hope.

That's according to Nicholas Ho, commissioner for Belt and Road of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): NICHOLAS HO, Commissioner for Belt and Road of HKSAR government
"Hong Kong possesses a new special ecosystem, that is, a green development ecosystem. We have a well-established green finance platform, and internationally recognized green professional services, as well as talents. There are some start-ups and technology enterprises focusing on environmental protection, green development and new energy. The interconnection of these three aspects has created a new green economy, enabling Hong Kong to undertake numerous BRI projects."

To assist Hong Kong in seizing the opportunities brought about by the BRI, the HKSAR government established the Belt and Road Office in 2016.

Despite challenges posed by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the HKSAR government has remained actively engaged in the BRI over the past decade.

The commissioner said Hong Kong should leverage the "going-global" efforts of its local businesses to support the BRI while also exploring its potential in "bringing-in."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): NICHOLAS HO, Commissioner for Belt and Road of HKSAR government
"Relative to 'going-global,' 'bringing-in' is more important. Many enterprises or companies related to the BRI are very interested in the Chinese mainland market. Hong Kong aims to utilize its international financing platform and professional service platform effectively to attract these enterprises or companies to establish their headquarters or base in Hong Kong. By doing so, Hong Kong can serve as a gateway for expanding into the Chinese mainland market. This is an important focus for Hong Kong's deep involvement in the BRI in the future."
