New membership of Trade and Industry Advisory Board announced
*************************************************************
The new members are Mr Ivan Chu Kwok-leung, Dr Dennis Ng Wang-pun, Mr Sunny Tan, Mr Harold Wong Tsu-hing and Dr Daniel Yip Chung-yin, and 24 incumbent members are re-appointed.
The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Edward Yau, thanked the members for accepting the appointments. He said, "The TIAB serves an important function of advising the Government on promoting the development of Hong Kong's trade and industry, in particular on matters concerning how Hong Kong can take part gainfully in the Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area development, and how to cope with the changes in the economic situation. With the experience and expertise of the members in their respective sectors, I am confident that they will continue to offer valuable advice on promoting the work.
"I would also like to express my gratitude to the outgoing members, namely Mr Jimmy Kwok Chun-wah, Dr Eddy Li Sau-hung and Mr Andrew Lo Ching-leung for their contributions to the work of the TIAB," he said.
The TIAB advises the SCED on matters affecting Hong Kong's trade and industry, including trade in textiles and garments, trade relations with the Mainland, the Belt and Road Initiative, the development plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement and related matters.
