Chief Secretary Carrie Lam began her UK trip in London yesterday by visiting Tate Modern museum and meeting Hong Kong students and residents in the British capital.
She first took part in a luncheon attended by members of the Hong Kong community including local business leaders, professionals and members of alumni associations of Hong Kong universities in the UK.
She spoke about Hong Kong's latest developments and the multifaceted opportunities for UK businesses in Hong Kong, Mainland China and the Asian region at large.
She encouraged the second generation of Hong Kong people in the UK to come to Hong Kong to seize the new opportunities offered through the Admission Scheme for the Second Generation of Chinese Hong Kong Permanent Residents.
Mrs Lam then visited the Tate Modern museum, which has opened a new extension building called the Switch House. In her capacity as the Board Chairman of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, Mrs Lam explored opportunities for collaboration between Tate Modern and M+.
She later met with Hong Kong students studying in the UK, including those under the Hong Kong Scholarship for Excellence Scheme, to update them on the opportunities arising from the unique position of Hong Kong as the gateway to China and under the Belt & Road Initiative.
She encouraged them to return to Hong Kong after graduation to contribute to the city’s long-term development.
