Secretary for Justice Paul Lam, on the last day of his visit to Beijing today, called on the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) and visited the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to explore development opportunities for Hong Kong’s legal services.

In the morning, Mr Lam met SPP Prosecutor-General Ying Yong. They exchanged views on arranging training and exchanges on foreign-related legal issues and the common law system for Mainland prosecutors, as well as co-organising capacity-building programmes. Mr Lam also thanked the SPP for supporting Hong Kong in hosting the 15th China-ASEAN Prosecutors-General Conference last year.

Mr Lam then met AIIB President Zou Jiayi to learn about the progress of the AIIB’s office establishment in Hong Kong, explore opportunities for collaboration between the AIIB and Hong Kong’s legal sector, and for further choosing Hong Kong’s legal services.

Having concluded his visit to Beijing, the legal chief returned to Hong Kong this afternoon.
