Speaking to the media at Hong Kong airport, Mr Cheung said he attended a meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Review Working Group during his visit.

The working group has taken note of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s commitment and efforts to promote and protect human rights in Hong Kong, he said.

Mr Cheung added he met senior representatives of international organisations, including the International Labour Organization, the World Health Organization and the International Social Security Association to foster mutual understanding and update them on developments in Hong Kong.
