With the focus of global attention, the 10th Belt and Road Forum was grandly opened, which is undoubtedly an important milestone in the process of international cooperation and is of great significance. The author warmly congratulates the grand opening of the 10th Belt and Road Forum.

Looking back, Hong Kong has achieved remarkable results in the construction of the "Belt and Road". Since the first summit forum was held in 2016, it has attracted 45,000 political and business leaders from more than 120 countries and regions to actively participate, and jointly promoted the implementation of about 2,800 global cooperation projects. These projects are widely distributed in many fields such as finance, technology, logistics, professional services and education, and are like bright stars, illuminating the path of cooperation between Hong Kong and the world. At the forum, Hong Kong and countries along the Belt and Road signed 9 memorandums of understanding and cooperation agreements, covering areas such as avoiding disputes, customs, anti-corruption, meteorological and promoting investment; at the same time, 36 inter-enterprise agreements and transactions were announced, with a total value of nearly US$1 billion, once again demonstrating Hong Kong's strong influence and outstanding contribution in the construction of the Belt and Road.

In integrating into the overall national development, Hong Kong has unique advantages of "internal connection and external connection". Relying on the unique institutional advantages of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong has a mature and complete legal system and judicial institutions, which has built solid protection of rights and interests for investors and ensured its safety and stability in business activities. This not only attracted a large influx of international capital, but also made Hong Kong a center of international exchanges where the East and West cultures are deeply integrated, shining on the global stage.

From the perspective of educational resources, Hong Kong has 5 top 100 universities. The international and diversified academic environment has attracted students from all over the world to inject a steady stream of talent vitality into Hong Kong. In the latest world talent rankings, Hong Kong has jumped to fourth place and ranked first in Asia. This remarkable achievement fully proves Hong Kong's remarkable achievements in talent cultivation and attraction. From the perspective of transportation hubs, Hong Kong has a first-class airport that operates efficiently on three runways. Last year, it received more than 44 million tourists, ranking fourth in the world and won the world's best airport entry and exit award. It is a well-deserved international shipping and tourism hub, closely connecting all parts of the world.

Today, Hong Kong is making every effort to build a highland for international high-end talent gathering. With its rich and diverse educational resources, an open and inclusive social environment, and a vibrant business atmosphere, outstanding talents from all over the world are gathering here. These high-end talents have shown their strengths in finance, technology, law, culture and other fields, providing strong intellectual support for Hong Kong's innovative development.

Looking ahead, Hong Kong will continue to play an important role in the construction of the "Belt and Road" and play an irreplaceable and critical role. As a "super linker" and "super value-added person" connecting Asia and the world, Hong Kong will provide all-round and multi-level support and services for the "Belt and Road" projects with its profound heritage in the field of financial investment, booming development in the field of innovative technology, superb level of professional services, rich experience in the field of infrastructure construction and efficient and convenient in the field of shipping and logistics, and will provide all-round and multi-level support and services for the "Belt and Road" projects to help the projects achieve high-quality and sustainable development.

For Hong Kong youth, the Belt and Road Initiative is undoubtedly a treasure with unlimited opportunities. The numerous cooperation projects in countries and regions along the route provide Hong Kong youth with vast development space and rich and diverse employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. Whether it is investing in the financial field and participating in international capital operations; or taking root in the technology industry to promote the application of innovative technologies; or displaying talents in logistics, professional services, education and other fields, Hong Kong youth can use their own wisdom and efforts to shine their own light on the broad stage of the "Belt and Road" and write wonderful chapters of life.

Finally, let us sincerely wish the 10th Belt and Road Forum a complete success. We hope that this forum can gather the wisdom and strength of all parties, achieve more practical cooperation results, inject new and powerful impetus into the construction of the Belt and Road, and work together to create a more prosperous and beautiful future!
