​The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Kevin Yeung, today (March 27) met with Singapore's Minister for Culture, Community and Youth & Second Minister for Law, Mr Edwin Tong. Mr Yeung briefed Mr Tong on the latest developments of Hong Kong's cultural and sports policies. They also shared experiences on promoting culture and supporting sports, and explored opportunities of collaborations and exchanges.
Mr Yeung said, "Hong Kong has always strived to set up a platform for international cultural exchanges and has been maintaining frequent cultural exchanges with Singapore. This year for the first time, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau launched "Art March" as a brand to promote multiple mega arts and cultural events organised, funded, or supported by the Government, making use of our blend of Eastern and Western cultures and extensive international network to showcase to the world the unique charm and diverse characteristics of Chinese culture in Hong Kong. We look forward to establishing closer collaborations with Singapore and boosting cultural exchanges between the two places."
