Chief Executive CY Leung met University of Chicago President Prof Robert Zimmer at the Chief Executive's Office this afternoon.
Mr Leung welcomed the opening of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in Hong Kong in August this year.
He said that the top-notch business school establishing a presence in Hong Kong fully underlined the city's status as a regional education hub and international financial centre.
The Government will continue to strengthen Hong Kong's position as a regional education hub through internationalisation and diversification of the higher education sector, Mr Leung added.
