Singapore’s Lawrence Wong meets tycoons, leaders as he wraps up Hong Kong visit

“A short but meaningful visit to Hong Kong,” Wong wrote of his three-day visit. “The city feels familiar yet renewed, with a clear sense of dynamism.”

Apart from Richard Li, who is chairman of Pacific Century Group, Wong also spoke to other influential business leaders, including Sino Group chairman Daryl Ng Win-kong, Kerry Properties chairman Kuok Khoon Hua and Rosewood Hotel Group CEO Sonia Cheng Chi-man.

Wong also met Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, convenor of the government’s key decision-making Executive Council, Ronnie Chan Chi-chung, honorary chairman of Hang Lung Group, former lawmaker Martin Liao Cheung-kong and ex-chairwoman of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Laura Cha Shih May-lung.

Wong said he had “good exchanges” with figures from the public and private sectors, with discussions centred on regional developments and areas for collaboration between the two Asian financial hubs, including the digital economy, technology, innovation and sustainability.
