Hong Kong delegation will tour mainland in pursuit of innovation and technology

A Hong Kong delegation of some 150 young people will meet with central government leaders in Beijing and tour key mainland cities next week to learn about new developments and the opportunities that lie ahead, delegation organizers said on Friday.

Kenneth Fok Kai-kong, who will serve as head of the delegation, said that the group will visit Shenzhen in Guangdong province, Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, and then Beijing, to understand the development of innovation and technology in the country.

"It's a very precious opportunity for the participants to have a face-to-face talk with leaders," said Fok, adding the youth could express their concerns directly to central government officials.
