The Chamber’s success – indeed its entire existence – is based on meeting our members’ needs. To serve our members well, we need to continue to offer a broad range of activities that provide benefits for businesses of all sizes and all scopes and for individuals from all sectors.

In helping members open new opportunities, we fully understand that the competitive edge of Hong Kong lies in its fundamental strength of excellent business, education, health care and other facilities. However, we must keep abreast of changes and change ourselves. We should proactively advocate changes that would be good for Hong Kong and make Hong Kong a better place to live and to do business.

As China emerges as one of the world’s most powerful economies, I am confident that Hong Kong will maintain a leading position because of our excellent location, rule of law, governance, business values and the convergence of the Eastern and Western culture. Integration with the Pearl River Delta will be one of our biggest engines of growth over the next 20 years. Rather than marginalizing us, this will make Hong Kong much stronger.

The Chamber’s members have a very strong sense of social responsibility. As we enter our 150th year as the largest and most influential independent business association in Hong Kong, I hope we can continue this proud tradition of working for the good of business and Hong Kong for the next 150 years.
