The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (SCED), Mr Edward Yau, thanked the members for accepting the appointments. He said, "The TIAB serves an important function of advising the Government on promoting the development of Hong Kong's trade and industry, in particular on matters concerning how Hong Kong can leverage the opportunities of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area development, and how to cope with the changes in the economic situation such as the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the experience and expertise of members in their respective sectors, I am confident that they will offer valuable advice on promoting our work."
