"Hong Kong has a unique mission and probably a more unique role in rebalancing the range of China subjects in which the international audience should have an interest," said Mr. Leung Chun-ying in the keynote speech titled "Mission and Role of Hong Kong in the Construction of National Image".

The forum was immediately followed by two panel discussions, the first of which focused on the Hong Kong perspective, with the theme of "Hong Kong in the Spotlight: Understanding a Multi-faceted City". Guests shared their views at the first panel, including Mr. C K Yeung, Former Associate Vice President, Hong Kong Baptist University and Mr. Ronnie Chan, Chair, Hang Lung Properties Limited.
