Prof Jao expressed his support for the construction of the Hong Kong Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District, saying it will promote the development of Chinese culture.
Mr Lau thanked Prof Jao for his support for the Government in organising exhibitions and academic activities on his work and sharing his achievements and experiences with the public over the years.
The Leisure & Cultural Services Department and Hong Kong University will hold the "Splendour of Dunhuang: Jao Tsung-i's Selected Academic & Art Works Inspired by Dunhuang Culture" exhibition at the Heritage Museum from May to September.
