Secretary for Transport & Logistics Mable Chan met International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) Secretary General Guy Platten and his soon-to-be successor Thomas Kazakos today to go over plans for the second Global Maritime Trade Summit, which will be co-hosted by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the ICS during Hong Kong Maritime Week in November.
Ms Chan said: “We hope that our co-hosting of the upcoming summit with the ICS will reinforce our shared vision of a connected, efficient, and resilient maritime ecosystem for the common interest of the global maritime community.
“The Transport & Logistics Bureau will spare no effort to leverage on Hong Kong’s status as an international maritime centre to ensure the event’s success.”
The Transport & Logistics Bureau outlined that it will work closely with the ICS in the coming months to bring the summit to fruition.
