Worldwide leaders and scholars meet on New Strategies in International

The "International Communication in the New Era" Forum, jointly organised by

Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political

Consultative Conference; Mr. Paul Chan, Financial Secretary, The Government of

"Hong Kong has a unique mission and probably a more unique role in rebalancing

the range of China subjects in which the international audience should have an

interest," said Mr. Leung Chun-ying in the keynote speech titled "Mission and

Role of Hong Kong in the Construction of National Image".

"Life is not a zero-sum game, where if one person wins, everyone else loses.

No. We can all win…Friday Culture is a media group which celebrates cultural

diversity, promotes peace and shares insightful stories, in a good-humoured,

positive way," Dr. Herman Hu stated in the welcoming address.

The forum was immediately followed by two panel discussions, the first of which

Spotlight: Understanding a Multi-faceted City". Guests shared their views at

the first panel, including Mr. C K Yeung, Former Associate Vice President, Hong

Kong Baptist University and Mr. Ronnie Chan, Chair, Hang Lung Properties

Limited.

tell China's Story in a Polarizing World" as the theme. In this section, the
