Chief Executive John Lee Ka Chiu has told the visiting deputy prime minister of Singapore that Hong Kong will explore more opportunities for collaboration with the city state, as both sides reaffirmed the "good momentum" of their long-standing partnership.
During Monday's meeting, Lee stressed that Hong Kong had a close relationship with Singapore, the city's fourth largest trading partner. "I hope that Hong Kong and Singapore will continue multifaceted co-operation to strengthen our very close ties," he added. "Hong Kong is playing an increasingly important role in China's economic development – as seen in its hosting the belt and road forum – and Singapore sees engaging Hong Kong as a critical component of its relations with China," Yap said.
Heng on Monday also met Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong, who tested preliminarily positive for Covid-19 later in the day and was placed in isolation.
