Addressing the ceremony, Mr Chow said the content of the “Diploma of Applied Education (DAE) - Police Cadet Training” programme, which launched in 2024, progresses with time to align more closely with needs, and becomes increasingly systematic, flexible and practical. Drawing on the experience of the first cohort, the course arrangement of the second cohort had been optimised and extended from 22 weeks to 30 weeks, with more instructors and manpower resources allocated, providing the cadets with a better environment to learn and grow.

Mr Chow said that the cadets consolidated their knowledge and built up their abilities in the programme to strengthen their self-confidence, and more importantly, to nurture a team spirit. During the five-day, four-night “hell week” outdoor experiential training, the extreme physical and mental challenges endured by the cadets fostered mutual support and strengthened team cohesion in overcoming the difficulties together.

Mr Chow expressed the hope that the cadets would bear in mind that “self-confidence provides the strength to stand firm, while teamwork enables one to journey further”. He noted that the cadets overcame various challenges during the 30-week rigorous training and developed solid confidence. Instilled with the “can-do” spirit, they can stay resolute in the face of difficulties and challenges. With mutual trust, complementarity, and a shared goal, the power of a team is multiplied, allowing them to go farther.

He encouraged the cadets to persevere and equip themselves, and to fulfill their proper role in the team. He stressed that no one in the Force fights alone, for the team provides staunch support to every individual. He envisaged the cadets becoming a member of the Force, jointly safeguard Hong Kong and contribute to national development.

The “DAE - Police Cadet Training” programme is co-organised by the Police College with the Caritas Institute of Community Education, the Hong Kong College of Technology, and the Hong Kong Institute of Technology, with serving police officers as instructors. Students who successfully complete the programme and pass the Police Constable selection process may commence foundation training at the Police College upon graduation. The application for the 2026/27 programme is now open, with the deadline on July 22. For details, please refer to the programme website (www.police.gov.hk/ppp_en/15_recruit/dae.html).

Hong Kong Financial Delegation Visits Hangzhou to Strengthen Global Market Connections

SFST leads delegation to visit Hangzhou

The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, led a 30-plus-strong delegation of representatives from financial institutions and industry leaders to visit Hangzhou today (June 15).

In the morning, Mr Hui and the Permanent Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (Financial Services), Mrs Angelina Cheung, met with the Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the People's Government of Zhejiang Province, Mr Gu Jianxin, and the Deputy Director-General of the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province, Mr Shi Qiqi, to brief them on the purpose of bringing the delegation to Hangzhou. Mr Hui expressed his anticipation of strengthening connections between Hangzhou enterprises and Hong Kong financial professionals, thereby deepening mutual understanding and jointly capturing the global market opportunities.

Mr Hui and Mrs Cheung then joined the delegation for a networking luncheon themed "Hong Kong financial sector empowering Mainland enterprises to go global" and co-organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Shanghai, Invest Hong Kong, and the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province. The luncheon focused on discussions about how Mainland enterprises can leverage Hong Kong's financial advantages for securing financing and going global. Speakers shared insights with attendees from over 300 enterprises on topics such as establishing corporate treasury centres in Hong Kong, raising international capital, expanding businesses to global markets through Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's tax rules. The luncheon attracted over 400 corporate representatives to attend.

In his keynote speech at the luncheon, Mr Hui stated that the global economic and trade landscape, industrial division of labour, and capital flows are all undergoing profound restructuring. Mainland enterprises going global together is now an inevitable trend but at the same time presents a wealth of opportunities. He expressed the hope that this visit to Hangzhou, joined by industry leaders of the Hong Kong financial profession, will integrate the financial edge of Hong Kong with Hangzhou's digital technologies, bringing a synergy effect to achieve mutual empowerment and support Hangzhou enterprises in their journey to explore international markets.

He said, "As a powerhouse of the private and digital economies, Zhejiang Province stands as a premier hub for advanced manufacturing. Hangzhou is in particular the cradle of innovation for the digital economy, nurturing a vast cluster of vibrant, highly innovative premium enterprises with a strong ambition to expand globally. Hong Kong's core strengths lie in international finance, cross-boundary investment and financing services, world-class professional services, and alignment with international standards. All these attributes perfectly match the critical demands of Zhejiang enterprises seeking global expansion. With the high complementarity of resources and industrial synergy between Zhejiang and Hong Kong, it is indeed an impeccable integration of the real economy and international finance."

He added that by leading a financial delegation with over 30 industry leaders to Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai at a time that marks the beginning of the National 15th Five-Year Plan, he is in the hope of supporting the strategic development of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD)'s core economy with Hong Kong's robust financial foundations. The delegation, which comprises industry leaders from Hong Kong's finance, insurance, accounting, and technology sectors, will gain precise insights into the needs of enterprises through visiting these three cities. This will in turn help connect Hong Kong's top-tier world-class services with premium enterprises in the YRD, thereby making greater contributions to the high-quality development of the region in the future.

At the networking luncheon, Mr Hui also witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the People's Government of Hangzhou Municipality. The MOU aims to promote exchanges, connectivity and innovative development between Hong Kong and Hangzhou Municipality in areas such as capital markets, fintech, wealth management and insurance, with a view to achieving mutual benefit and win-win outcomes for the industries.

In the afternoon, the delegation visited the Ant Group Headquarters in Hangzhou, where they were received by the Chairman of the Ant Group, Mr Eric Jing, and were given an introduction to the group's global development strategy. The two parties discussed how the Group could utilise Hong Kong's financial market to go further.

The delegation then proceeded to visit Manycore Tech Inc, where they met with its Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, Mr Shen Bei. The two parties had a discussion on how the company, following its listing in Hong Kong, can strategically leverage the city's advantages in capital financing, foreign exchange management and cross-boundary diversified finance as an international financial centre to further expand its global footprint.

The delegation also visited the Institute of Global Development, Zhejiang University. The Institute was established this March, with an aim to provide training for mid-to-senior level personnel from governments and corporations worldwide to advance and deepen the implementation of global development initiatives.

Mr Hui and the delegation will visit Suzhou tomorrow (June 16).
