Mr Liu and the delegation also paid a call to the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the UAE, Mr Zhang Yiming, and briefed him on Hong Kong's development directions for the port and maritime sectors.

     Mr Liu said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will continuously co-operate with the industry to showcase Hong Kong's maritime strengths and expand its network with a view to developing Hong Kong as a world-leading international maritime centre.
