HK seeks talent from SE Asia, Europe: Chris Sun

Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun on Tuesday said the government's efforts to attract talent to the city will focus on professionals from Southeast Asia and Europe. Sun’s remark came after the government approved 180,000 talent importation scheme applications, with 120,000 people having already arrived in the SAR. Speaking to reporters at the Global Talent Summit, Sun said most of the applicants were from the mainland. But the labour minister said the government is committed to welcoming talent from all over the world, with a focus on Southeast Asia and Europe. "We are very sure once we have let them know all the growth prospects, all the very exciting opportunities here in Hong Kong, a lot of the talents in Southeast Asia as well as in Europe, they will be thinking about Hong Kong and they will really give Hong Kong a good shot," he said. Sun said the government expects around 7,000 people to attend the two-day summit at the Convention and Exhibition Centre.
