HK will promote mainland opportunities among youth

Hong Kong will take a more proactive role in supporting its young people to develop their careers on the mainland, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, the city's chief executive, said on Monday.

The special administrative region's government should not only provide and supervise public services, but also serve as a "facilitator and promoter" to help young people work and live on the mainland, she said.

Lam made the remarks at a seminar in Beijing for young entrepreneurs and students from Hong Kong who are based on the mainland.
