Hong Kong’s former leader Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor has taken up a string of positions after keeping a low profile since she stepped down last July, it was announced on Friday.
Lam has accepted an honorary position as president of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce in Jiangsu, an eastern province of mainland China.
She has also joined a Hong Kong women’s organisation as well as a traditional clansmen association and promised to use the roles to promote the city.
“She will discharge the role of a former chief executive in promoting Hong Kong in such positions,” Lam’s office said.
The Jiangsu role was revealed after Lam attended an investment promotion organised by Nanjing’s government in Hong Kong on Wednesday, where she spoke alongside Nanjing mayor Chen Zhichang and city business leaders.
Lam’s office said she took up the new post with the chamber in August last year, about a month after she stepped down as chief executive.
The chamber is presided over by Shi Weibin, the founder of a Hong Kong-listed company Freetech Technology.
