The two-hour District Forum consisted of two sessions. In the first session, Mr Lee and the Principal Officials listened to views expressed by members of the public, covering a wide range of topics including accelerating the Northern Metropolis development and advancing spatial planning in other areas; economy, finance and trade; innovation, technology and industry development; people's livelihood and social development; development of regional co-operation; and integrated development of culture, sports and tourism, green living, and more. In the second session, participants were divided into four groups to engage in in-depth exchanges with Mr Lee and the Principal Officials, focusing on the two themes of "pursuing development and economic growth" and "improving people's livelihood and building our future together". Mr Lee interacted and discussed with participants of each group in turn and listened to their views.

Mr Lee said, "The District Forum is an important platform for members of the public to express their views. My governing team and I attended the District Forum today to conduct in-depth exchanges with members of the public on Hong Kong's Five-Year Plan and the Policy Address. We listened to views of the public on Hong Kong's current and long-term economic and social development, which will help the Government formulate Hong Kong's Five-Year Plan and the Policy Address, devise the overall development blueprint, and set priorities for key policy initiatives, with a view to bringing impetus to the economy, further enhancing the well-being of our people, as well as enabling the public to better benefit from government policies."

The Government launched the public consultations for Hong Kong's Five-Year Plan and the Policy Address in June, and has held a number of consultation sessions over the past month to collect views from different sectors. Members of the public are welcome to continue submitting their views through various channels, including the dedicated websites for Hong Kong's Five-Year Plan and the Policy Address, and by email.

Brussels ETO brings Hong Kong's music talent to Marvao International Music Festival in Portugal

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels (Brussels ETO), together with the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, supported the Hong Kong Sinfonietta's participation in the Marvao International Music Festival held in Marvao, Portugal, from July 24 to August 2 (Marvao time).

Led by Music Director Christoph Poppen, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta staged four performances at the Festival this year, including the Farewell Gala on August 2 (Marvao time) which marked the closing of the Festival. The performances also featured renowned musicians from Hong Kong, including harmonica virtuoso and composer Cy Leo, jazz pianist Daniel Chu, as well as composer-performer Alice Yeung, showcasing the talent of Hong Kong's young musicians to around 2 000 international audience members attending the Festival.

The Deputy Representative of the Brussels ETO, Mr Kasper Ng, attended the Farewell Gala and the reception to showcase Brussels ETO's support to the orchestra, and promote the vibrant arts and cultural scene of Hong Kong as the event capital of Asia with world-class festivals and cultural celebrations.

The Marvao International Music Festival is one of Europe's leading classical music festivals, and is held in the medieval hilltop town of Marvao. Hong Kong Sinfonietta's participation this year marks the orchestra's fourth time participating in this internationally acclaimed Festival, further strengthening cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Portugal as well as the rest of Europe, and demonstrating the high-calibre quality and diversity of Hong Kong's musical talent.
