The coming Apec finance ministers’ meeting in Hong Kong will demonstrate “China’s voice” in regional stability, with the city uniquely placed to bring together regional leaders for important exchanges in a geopolitically charged world, the treasury chief has said.
In an exclusive interview with the South China Morning Post on Thursday, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Ching-yu said the timing of the meeting of finance ministers from the 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation economies mattered because regional cooperation was becoming vital due to geopolitical tensions.
Against that backdrop, Hui believed Hong Kong was well placed to host the event – which will be held on October 20 and 21 – and convey two main messages to the Apec members and the world: China’s contribution to regional stability and Hong Kong’s value to the region.
