Former senior US diplomat Kurt Campbell to address American and Hong Kong business leaders
AmChamHK expects Campbell’s keynote speech will help navigate complexities of US-China relationship and capitalise on emerging opportunities
Kurt Campbell, a senior US diplomat in the former Biden administration, is expected to help promote US-Hong Kong relations and aid economic growth on both sides when he appears as keynote speaker at a conference in April.
Campbell, who served as deputy secretary of state, will speak at the AmCham Hong Kong China Conference on April 24, the chamber of commerce announced on Friday. He was a diplomat in several US administrations and is credited with Washington’s “pivot to Asia”.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr Kurt Campbell to Hong Kong for his first Asia visit since leaving the US government on January 20. Including Hong Kong in his itinerary highlights the recognition of Hong Kong as a key international business hub in Asia,” AmCham chairman David Butts said.
“We also hope that his visit will promote understanding for stronger US-Hong Kong relations and mutual economic growth.”
