2024 Policy Address Supplement (Extract)

International Trade Centre

Expanding international economic and trade networks

• Continue to take forward the diversied promotion work on the B&R Initiative, including leveraging Hong Kong’s role as the functional platform for the B&R Initiative by organising outbound missions, project matching activities, as well as B&R exchange and capacity building programmes, thereby showcasing our strength in professional services, with a view to opening up more business opportunities for Hong Kong enterprises and professional services.
• Explore the feasibility of establishing a B&R capacity building centre to link up with a series of other B&R-related platforms created by Hong Kong, with a view to forging ties with the B&R countries and regions using our soft power, thereby paving early the way for pursuing opportunities in economic development and co-operation in future.
• Continue to organise the B&R Summit and create synergy by making better use of various platforms to tell the good stories of our country and Hong Kong.
