At the APEC Transportation Ministers' Meeting yesterday (September 22), Ms Chan briefed delegates from various countries and regions on the policy measures relating to maritime, logistics, aviation and transport infrastructure as set out in the newly released Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan and the 2026 Policy Address. She also highlighted Hong Kong's latest developments in smart mobility, including the application of AI technologies and big data analytics to gauge real-time traffic information and formulate contingency plans, as well as the advancement of autonomous driving towards driverless operation and commercialisation.

Ms Chan also exchanged views with other participants at the Ministers' Forum of the Global Sustainable Transport Forum yesterday afternoon on various issues including global developments, governance, and deepening of co-operation in sustainable transport. During her stay in Beijing, she held bilateral meetings with the Minister of Transport, Malaysia, Mr Loke Siew Fook, and the Deputy Minister of Construction of Vietnam, Mr Le Anh Tuan, to explore opportunities for deeper collaboration and exchange views on issues of mutual concern.

Ms Chan said, "Hong Kong is striving to enhance the efficiency of our transport network and infrastructure through technology empowerment. The exchanges with ministers and delegates from various countries and regions not only allow us to share our experiences in technology applications and green transport transformation, but also enable us to jointly map out a more efficient, greener and more sustainable transport ecosystem. As an international aviation hub and maritime centre, Hong Kong will continue to leverage our core advantages in efficiency, diversity and internationalisation to strengthen regional connectivity in constructing a smarter, safer and greener transport and logistics network."

In the evening, she visited the "Hong Kong Momentum - Connect, Collaborate, Create the Future" thematic exhibition held by the Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Beijing. Featuring dedicated zones on Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan and the 2026 Policy Address with multimedia displays and interactive experiences, the exhibition showcases Hong Kong's strategic positioning as well as development directions and opportunities under the National 15th Five-Year Plan.

Together with the Permanent Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Mr Vic Yau, and the Director-General of Civil Aviation, Ms Clara Wong, Ms Chan called on the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) this morning to meet with Deputy Administrator of the CAAC Ms Liang Nan to keep her updated on Hong Kong's latest developments in aviation, including the objectives and policies in relation to aviation developments in Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan and the 2026 Policy Address, and to discuss various measures including Hong Kong's active integration into the national strategy of "Trunk-Branch Connectivity, Whole-Network Linkage", enhancing the connectivity between Mainland cities and international destinations, consolidating the world-leading position of Hong Kong's air cargo industry, promoting the production and use of sustainable aviation fuel, as well as the low-altitude economy.

Ms Chan and the delegation concluded their visit and departed for Hong Kong this afternoon.
