CE To Visit Guangzhou, Beijing

Chief Executive Carrie Lam will visit Guangzhou and Beijing from March 22 to 25.

      

In Guangzhou, Mrs Lam will open the first Exhibition Raceday at the Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Racecourse.

 

Opened in August last year, the racecourse is an important collaboration between Hong Kong and Guangdong.

 

In Beijing, she will attend the 20th China Development Forum and speak at a session on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

 

Hosted annually by the Development Research Centre of the State Council, the forum serves as a platform for dialogues between leaders of the Central Government, global business community and international organisations, as well as academics.

      

During her absence, Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung will be Acting Chief Executive.
