Mr Sun also accepted an invitation to visit an enterprise in Hangzhou, where he listened to the sharing of its senior management to gain a deeper understanding of the implementation of local talent policies and their roles for enterprises.
 
     Subsequently, Mr Sun called on Standing Committee member and Chief of the Organization Department of the CPC Hangzhou Municipal Committee, Ms Liu Pinjun, to discuss the talent policies of the two places. Mr Sun also welcomed Mainland youths to develop their careers in Hong Kong via suitable talent admission schemes.
 
     In the afternoon, Mr Sun and other delegates visited an elderly care service centre to learn more about the local community care and support services, and were briefed on relevant residential care services. In the evening, Mr Sun attended the tour-closing dinner for the Hangzhou study tour under the Strive and Rise Programme. He thanked the Hangzhou Municipal Government for its full support for the tour, and the Hong Kong Jockey Club for sponsoring the tour. He also wished the mentees to set goals for their future while being inspired by the visits and expanding their horizons.
 
     Today, Mr Sun paid a courtesy call on the Director-General of the Human Resources and Social Security Department of Zhejiang Province, Mr Wu Weibin, to introduce the latest developments in labour, manpower and welfare policies in Hong Kong. Thereafter, Mr Sun and the delegation visited the Hangzhou City Planning Exhibition Hall to have a better understanding of the planning and development of Hangzhou.
