     In the morning, Mr Lee met with enterprises and talent newly settled in Hong Kong to understand how their development is progressing and learn about their daily lives. Mr Lee welcomed them to the Hong Kong family and encouraged them to make good use of Hong Kong's business and investment platforms, as well as its unique position and advantages in international finance, innovation and technology, and professional services, to expand their business and careers. Mr Lee stated that the HKSAR Government will continue to work diligently to attract enterprises and talent, assisting them in achieving successful development in Hong Kong while creating new impetus for the city's growth.
      
     At noon, Mr Lee met with the Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Mr Chen Jining, and the Mayor of Shanghai, Mr Gong Zheng. The Executive Deputy Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, Mr Zhou Ji, also attended the meeting. Mr Lee extended his congratulations on the successful opening of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and expressed his hopes for fruitful outcomes. He thanked Mr Chen for his ongoing support of Hong Kong, and expressed his appreciation for the importance the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Government have attached to the HKSAR delegation, as well as their thoughtful arrangements. Mr Lee expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Central Government and the Shanghai Municipal Government for their strong support of the HKSAR Government in holding the Hong Kong Investment Promotion Conference - Shanghai Forum during this year's CIIE, highlighting Hong Kong's latest advantages and business environment to Mainland enterprises.
      
     Mr Lee also thanked the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Government for their emphasis on Shanghai-Hong Kong co-operation over the years. He noted that Shanghai and Hong Kong have maintained deep co-operation and close relations in various areas such as the economy and trade, finance, innovation and technology, education, culture, and youth exchanges. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, and the Sixth Plenary Session of the Hong Kong/Shanghai Co-operation Conference was held in April, demonstrating that co-operation between the two places has reached new levels. Mr Lee is confident that the two places will continue to achieve complementarity and mutual benefits, fostering synergistic developments in different areas and contributing to the country's high-quality development.
