The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, participated in an online discussion event hosted by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Sydney today, revealing that he hopes to discuss with New Zealand the launch of a "tourism bubble".
When Lam Cheng was asked about the report on the immigration wave at the meeting, he said that the relevant report was exaggerated and untrue, and that he did not care about the fugitives leaving Hong Kong.
More than 200 business people from New Zealand participated in the conversation. The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Qiu Tenghua and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Commissioner Yuan Minzhong also attended.
At the meeting, Lam Cheng not only talked about Hong Kong's commercial advantages, but also responded to the issue of travel restrictions.
She said that in view of the relatively stable epidemic in New Zealand, the mandatory quarantine period for people entering Hong Kong from the local area has been reduced from 21 days to 14 days last month.
She hopes that through the continuous efforts of the two places, we will further explore the introduction of measures such as "tourism bubbles" to facilitate cross-border exchanges between the two places.
