They exchanged views on the recruitment and nurture of as well as support for talent, and explored directions of deepening talent exchange and collaboration between the two places.

     Mr Ho attended similar events of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and National University of Singapore in August 2023 and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen in November 2023. HKTE will continue to collaborate with Dedicated Teams for Attracting Businesses and Talents in the Mainland Offices and overseas Economic and Trade Offices to proactively reach out to and recruit talent through key Mainland and overseas job fairs, and provide one-stop support for the long-term settlement of talent arriving in Hong Kong.

     In the afternoon, Mr Ho visited the "Immersive Hong Kong" roving exhibition held by the Information Services Department in Kuala Lumpur. Apart from immersing himself in exhibition zones presenting the appeal of Hong Kong by interactive art technology, Mr Ho also toured the information panels displayed on site covering insights from ASEAN talent about their experiences in Hong Kong. He encouraged visitors of the exhibition to visit, work, live or invest in Hong Kong as its theme suggests - "Hong Kong - Where the World Looks Ahead". The exhibition is set to run at Centre Court, Level 2, Pavilion Bukit Jalil until March 10.
