******************************************************************************************
     The Director General of the Rescue and Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China (CRS), Mr Wang Lei; the Director-General of Civil Aviation of Hong Kong, Mr Victor Liu; and the Chief Accident and Safety Investigator of the Air Accident Investigation Authority (AAIA) of Hong Kong, Mr Man Ka-chai, signed the new Tripartite Agreement on Search and Rescue and Salvage of Crashed Aircraft in Beijing today (August 12).

     In order to foster mutual collaboration on the search and rescue and salvage of crashed aircraft, the CRS and the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) signed the first agreement in 2016. Subsequent to the establishment of the AAIA with its new functions, the CRS, the CAD and the AAIA unanimously agreed to amend and update the agreement after tripartite deliberation.
 
     The new Tripartite Agreement will effectively strengthen co-operation on the search and rescue and salvage of crashed aircraft, enhancing the communication and technical information exchanges among the three parties. This will further improve the capability and effectiveness of the search and rescue and salvage of crashed aircraft within the Hong Kong Flight Information Region.
