Davos 2025: Paul Chan to tout Hong Kong’s ‘superconnector’ edge
Finance minister says he will brief political and business leaders from around the world about Hong Kong’s strategies in various areas
Paul Chan Mo-po said on Sunday he would take the opportunity to brief political and business leaders from around the world about the city’s strategies and measures in different development areas, as well as Hong Kong’s views on international issues.
He noted that Chinese Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang would also attend the conference and give a speech, with the finance chief saying China’s “economic situation and development have become one of the important focuses in the annual conferences in recent years”.
Chan is expected to fly to Davos, Switzerland, on Monday to attend the forum, which will run from January 20 to 24.
About 3,000 political and financial leaders from around the world will be flying in for the conference, which will focus on the theme “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age”. Topics covered include rebuilding trust internationally and within societies, and identifying new sources of growth.
In a blog post, Chan said he was invited to speak at several keynote events and conduct bilateral and round-table meetings.
