Secretary for Transport and Logistics Lam Sai-hung departed for the United States on Sunday to attend the 11th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Transportation Ministerial Meeting.
The transportation ministers and senior officials from 21 APEC member economies will discuss the issues in the transport sector during the three-day meeting (May 15-17, US time).
That will be included ways to strengthen the supply chain in the Asia-Pacific to drive economic growth and job creation, as well as the application of low and zero-emissions transportation technologies to tackle climate change.
Lam will share at a session on supply chain resilience on May 16 (US time) how Hong Kong's transport network, infrastructure and close communications with other economies have minimised the negative impact of the
Covid pandemic on air cargo and logistics.
The transport chief will also have discussions with representatives from other APEC member economies to exchange views on strengthening cooperation on transport matters.
Lam will return to Hong Kong on Friday morning (May 19).
