Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu met with Vanuatu Prime Minister Jotham Napat on Monday to discuss bilateral trade relations and cooperation opportunities under China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Lee welcomed the Vanuatu delegation to Hong Kong and emphasized the growing bilateral trade relationship between the two sides. He described cooperation prospects as "broad and promising."
Lee highlighted Hong Kong’s strategic position under the One Country, Two Systems framework, which he said provides dual advantages for national and global opportunities. He stressed the city’s role as a "super connector" and "super value-adder" in facilitating international exchanges, particularly with Belt and Road and Global South nations like Vanuatu.
Lee outlined Hong Kong's plans to strengthen its position as a functional platform for the Belt and Road Initiative, leveraging connections to both mainland China and international markets.
He said the city would intensify economic and trade collaborations with Belt and Road economies while promoting green cooperation initiatives.
Citing Hong Kong's status as the world's freest economy, Lee extended an invitation to Vanuatu enterprises to utilize the city's internationalized business environment and professional services sector to access overseas and mainland Chinese markets.
Deputy Financial Secretary Michael WongWai-lun also joined the meeting."
