December is fast approaching. Over the past year, we have emerged from the pandemic, but there are challenges and pressures in the post-epidemic recovery process. We must step up our efforts to reinforce our existing advantages, and at the same time create new impetus for growth. In recent years, we have continued to invest and promote innovative technologies and new industrialisation, and strengthened the commercialisation of research and development outcomes and development of I&T industrialisation. In addition, the whole Hong Kong SAR government is actively promoting Hong Kong's new advantages to the outside world and attracting investment at full speed. We are seeing positive outcomes.

In the past week, I attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers’ Meeting held in San Francisco, the United States. In addition, as assigned by the Chief Executive, I attended the 30th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting (AELM) on his behalf.

I departed for the United States last night to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers' Meeting to be held in San Francisco on November 12 and 13. As directed by the Chief Executive, I will also represent Hong Kong, China to attend the 30th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting to be held from November 15 to 17.
