Hong Kong leader John Lee eyes Apec opportunities as he lands in Korea for forum

Hong Kong’s leader has arrived in South Korea for an Apec economic leaders’ meeting and has pledged to share with other attendees the city’s policies and experience in investment promotion and artificial intelligence (AI) application.

Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu, who arrived in Korea with his delegation on Wednesday afternoon, is expected to attend an Apec economic leaders’ informal dialogue in the city of Gyeongju and the Apec Business Advisory Council dialogue with Apec economic leaders on Friday.

He is then expected to take part in an Apec economic leaders’ retreat on Saturday.

“During the meetings, I look forward to sharing Hong Kong’s policies and experience in areas such as investment promotion and AI application with government and business leaders from other economies,” Lee said in a social media post.

He added that he would seize the opportunity to hold bilateral meetings with leaders of other economies, to strengthen friendships, enhance practical cooperation and create more development opportunities and collaborative space for Hong Kong.
