Financial Secretary Paul Chan on Sunday said he's ready to "go global" to tell good stories of Hong Kong as anti-Covid measures are almost fully relaxed.
Writing on his blog, Chan said resuming quarantine-free travel with the mainland will benefit various sectors of the economy, including exports, tourism, catering and retail.
He said as the SAR returns gradually to normality, he's ready to tell good stories about Hong Kong.
The financial chief will head to Switzerland on Saturday for the World Economic Forum, and said he will tell world leaders about Hong Kong's potential and opportunities.
Chan said he will also visit main markets of the SAR, such as Asean and European nations, in the second half of the year.
The financial chief said in addition to "going global", the authorities will also do their best to boost local events.
He said the Asian Financial Forum will be held on Wednesday and Thursday in a hybrid mode in Hong Kong, attracting thousands of global leaders and showcasing the SAR's advantages as an international business hub.
Chan said the government will also do more to attract tourists, with international cruise ships set to return to Hong Kong in mid-January.
