      "Belt and Road: HK in Action", a television programme jointly produced by the Belt and Road Office of the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) highlighting Hong Kong's vital role as a functional platform for the Belt and Road Initiative, will explore how Hong Kong can contribute to building a connected, innovative and green new Silk Road. The programme will premiere tomorrow evening (September 21) on RTHK TV 31.

     The Ninth Belt and Road Summit, which ran for two days and concluded on September 12, attracted about 6 000 participants from Belt and Road countries and regions and across the globe. The summit led to a record-high 25 memoranda of understanding, with four involving government/ public bodies and 21 on commercial collaboration, enhancing government-to-government co-operation and assisting enterprises and professional services in exploring more business opportunities.  

     Echoing the Ninth Belt and Road Summit, "Belt and Road: HK in Action" consists of four episodes under the themes of innovation and technology, green development, clean Silk Road, and the Youth Chapter. Through interviews and case studies, the programme elaborates on the co-operation and exchanges in various areas with Belt and Road countries and regions and the relevant opportunities.

     The Cantonese version of "Belt and Road: HK in Action" will be broadcast on RTHK TV 31 from 6.25pm to 6.28pm on Saturdays and Sundays for two consecutive weeks from tomorrow until September 29. The programme can be reviewed on the RTHK website, RTHK YouTube channel and Belt and Road Office website. The English version of the programme will be aired later on RTHK TV 31 and online platforms.

     The Government has been stepping up its diverse promotional efforts regarding the Belt and Road Initiative through various channels. The Belt and Road Office has actively encouraged community stakeholders to organise related events in conjunction with the Ninth Belt and Road Summit, creating synergies that will enhance Hong Kong's collaborations with Belt and Road countries and regions in a wide range of areas, as well as positioning Hong Kong as a key platform for showcasing achievements in people-to-people exchanges and promoting cultural collaboration.
