Financial Secretary Paul Chan attended the 58th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Milan in Italy.
Chan spoke at the Business Session at the ADB Annual Meeting. He emphasised the need for member countries to strengthen cooperation amidst significant disruptions caused by unilateralism and protectionism to the global economy and trade order.
He expressed hope that the ADB would continue to be guided by its core principles, supporting projects with actual needs and promoting more inclusive regional development.
Chan highlighted that under "One Country, Two Systems" principle, Hong Kong maintains its status as a free port, implements free trade policies and ensures the free flow of capital, goods, people and information.
He reiterated Hong Kong's steadfast support for a rules-based multilateral trading system. As an international financial centre, Hong Kong is willing to share experience in innovative financing arrangements with ADB members.
