Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan: Trip to Three European Countries

I have just completed a five-day visit to Europe, during which I visited France, Belgium, and Switzerland, engaging in multi-level in-depth exchanges with the political, business, and financial sectors of these places. In brief, the most significant feeling I gained from this trip is that Europe's awareness of change is very strong. This is reflected in multiple aspects: politically, unilateralism and great power competition have made them fully realize the need to strive for greater strategic autonomy; in economic and trade relations, they hope for multilateral cooperation and risk diversification to build stronger economic resilience; in industrial investment, especially in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence, they realize that discussions must be turned into actions, integrating forces to catch up quickly.

We see that in multiple fields such as trade, investment, and technological innovation, Hong Kong and Europe can cooperate pragmatically and create win-win situations.
