Mrs Regina Ip, Chairperson of the Board of Governors of the Savantas Policy Institute, said that the final two panel discussions at this year’s Global Prosperity Summit focused on climate change and sustainable development, as well as Hong Kong’s role. Quoting speakers at the event, she underscored the importance of enhancing efforts to showcase Hong Kong’s cultural richness and achievements to the global audience, for the world to see the city’s diverse identity, so that Hong Kong can fully demonstrate its role as a bridge, and continue to play a unique role on the international stage.

Today’s programme began with the first panel discussion on “Climate Change and Sustainable Development”, a panel that brought together international experts for an in-depth exploration of issues such as climate change and green transformation. The Summit then concluded with “Hong Kong’s Bridging Role in a Changing World”, where international relations experts from the United Kingdom and United States shared their unique perspectives and insights. (Key points from these discussions can be found in the Annex.)

Regarding the many strengths of Hong Kong, Ambassador Craig Allen, Senior Counselor, The Cohen Group, noted that “Hong Kong has some of the greatest entrepreneurs in the world”; “The financial markets are superb”; and “diversity is Hong Kong’s strength.”

Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles KCMG LVO, Chair, China-Britain Business Council and Senior Adviser to the Group, HSBC Holdings plc, also pointed out that “I’ve always thought that Hong Kong undersells itself, not realizing its extraordinary assets, which in this time and this world, make it exceptionally well-placed. I think I’m right in saying that 70% of the foreign direct investment coming out of China goes through Hong Kong, 60% of the incoming investment into China comes through this territory. Britain does about as much trade with Hong Kong as we do with Japan.”

He also said “You only have to walk through Central, dance in Lan Kwai Fong, do what you always do in Hong Kong, to know that it is special and different and will remain so. So I say to my friends from Hong Kong here – keep selling Hong Kong. Be confident that it is what the mainland wants, it is what the leadership wants, and it is what the leadership will support.”

The organisers of GPS2025 said they are grateful to the speakers and experts who came to Hong Kong from the mainland and countries across the globe to share their profound insights and forward-thinking perspectives. They added that the summit will continue to invite renowned experts with a view to fostering global prosperity and strengthening cross-region and cross-sector collaboration.
