The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Algernon Yau, thanked the new Chairman and members for accepting the appointments. Mr Yau said, "SMEs are the backbone of Hong Kong's economy. Over the years, the SMEC has provided a lot of constructive advice to the Government, and made significant contributions in supporting the development of SMEs. I am confident that the SMEC, under the chairmanship of Mr Yu, will continue to offer valuable advice and suggestions, and assist the Government in formulating policies conducive to the development of SMEs, further bolstering Hong Kong's economy."
Mr Yau added, "I would like to thank the outgoing Chairman, Mr Michael Hui Wah-kit, and other outgoing members for their valuable contributions during their tenure. Under Mr Hui’s distinguished leadership, the SMEC has served as a bridge between the Government and SMEs, effectively facilitating the development of SMEs in Hong Kong."
