CE expresses sorrow over passing of Mr Zheng Xiaosong

     The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, today (October 21) expressed deep sorrow over the passing of the Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Macao Special Administrative Region, Mr Zheng Xiaosong.

     "I knew Mr Zheng who was working in Fujian Province while I was the Chief Secretary for Administration and together with him, promoted the co-operation between Hong Kong and Fujian, including co-chairing the first Hong Kong/Fujian Co-operation Conference in 2015, laying a solid foundation for further exchanges between the two places. He had worked in Hong Kong earlier and was familiar with Hong Kong and concerned about the development of the city. I was grieved to learn of his sudden departure. On behalf of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to his family," Mrs Lam said.
