Connecting the world and telling the China and Hong Kong story is a core mission of the Foundation in the new era. To further this mission, we organise forums to bring together local and international speakers to share their wisdom, and disseminate the content in English to international audiences through different platforms. We explore research collaborations with international institutions, and are extending our research scope beyond Hong Kong. Looking forward, we are strengthening our international dimension in different aspects of our work to serve as a bridge connecting the Greater Bay Area, ASEAN, and the Belt and Road Initiative.
