Policy Address
III. Belt and Road Initiative
42. The Government continues to fully support the Belt and
Road Initiative. Leveraging “one country, two systems” and
other advantages, we strive to give full play to Hong Kong’s role
as a “super-connector” and act in concert with the strategy of our
country and Mainland enterprises to go global, thereby creating
opportunities for our young people and boosting our social and
economic development in the coming decades.
43. Last year, I appointed the Commissioner for Belt and
Road to take charge of the Belt and Road Office, to provide
recommendations and advice on formulating and implementing
strategies relating to the Belt and Road Initiative, and to liaise
with government bureaux and departments as well as various
sectors of the community to further tap new opportunities for
Hong Kong under the Initiative. The Government has reviewed
the work and set up of the Belt and Road Office, and considers it
necessary to beef up the office’s establishment and resources
including the creation of directorate posts and other permanent
posts to ensure it can take forward the work under the Initiative
more effectively and on a long-term basis.
