Hong Kong’s ethnic minority communities can leverage their multicultural backgrounds and language skills to play an “important role” in the city’s efforts to build ties with belt and road countries, the labour minister has said.
Other speakers at the Zubin Foundation’s Ethnically Diverse Youth Leadership Summit on Saturday also highlighted the advantages these historically marginalised communities possessed in helping mainland Chinese companies go global.
“When looking ahead, we are building and forging much closer collaboration with countries from the belt and road,” Sun said.
“Here in Hong Kong … we have a locally grown talent [pool]. They speak the language, they know the culture … while they know so much about Hong Kong.
“So I think you do have a very important role to play in the years to come.”
