Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation

A gist of the blog:

Last Sunday, I attended the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing. It is one of the largest international forums in recent years in promoting global and regional collaboration.

Many people may still consider that the Belt and Road initiative is merely a political slogan and would not bring real benefits to Hong Kong. But as a matter of fact, Hong Kong enterprises have been participating in quite a number of infrastructure and development projects in regions along the "Belt and Road", including Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe. Professionals from Hong Kong have been involved in projects such as airports in Cambodia, India and Sri Lanka; power plants in Thailand, Vietnam and Poland; waste management system in Bangladesh; commercial building in Ukraine; wind farm in Georgia; metro system in Saudi Arabia; as well as man-made islands in the UAE.
