Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Edward Yau has welcomed the appointment of his Under Secretary and Political Assistant.
Speaking to the media today, Mr Yau said they will strengthen his team with their expertise.
"I am glad I have been able to secure two additional members to my team, one taking up the Under Secretary post and the other taking up the Political Assistant post.
"These new members would strengthen my team in the sense that they would bring in expertise in different areas.
"I've got a very good team of civil servants helping me but I am conscious that my portfolio covers quite a wide spectrum of activities, and economic activities in particular.
"With different backgrounds, different expertise and diversity of experience, I hope [they] can enrich our strength and we can take things forward in a more effective manner."
