Chief Executive Carrie Lam expressed the hope that Hong Kong and US will strengthen mutually beneficial co-operation and expand common interests during a meeting with members of Congressional US-China Working Group (Mar 18). With Hong Kong striving to advance the development of I&T, she encouraged more US institutions and technology firms to establish a presence in the city.
