Jiang Zaizhong, Director of Hong Kong Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group Limited & Chairman of Organizing Committee, said that in the past 40 years, Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao have been in a relationship of mutual benefits and a win-win cooperation. General Secretary Xi Jinping, who visited Hong Kong last year, gave high praise to Hong Kong. He said that Hong Kong compatriots have made active contributions to the Country’s Reform, Opening-up, and modernization process. In this regard, the Central government and the people of the Country have never forgotten. The unique advantages of "One Country, Two Systems" have made Hong Kong and Macao play an unreplaceable role as "Super Connector" in connecting Mainland and the rest of the world.

In her speech, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that in the past 40 years, Hong Kong have witnessed tremendous achievements in the Country’s economic and social development. In the Country’s Reform and Opening-up, Hong Kong is not only a "contributor" but also a "beneficiary." In the early days of the Country’s Reform and Opening-up, a large number of Hong Kong businessmen and Hong Kong entrepreneurs took the lead in investing in Mainland. As the external window of the Country at that time, Hong Kong constantly provided funds, talents and management systems for the Country with its own advantages. At the same time, Hong Kong’s manufacturing production line moved northward to the Pearl River Delta region, grasping the opportunity of the Mainland manufacturing industry take off, successfully transforming itself into an important bridge connecting the Mainland with the world market, and establishing and consolidating today Hong Kong’s status as an international trade, logistics, shipping, financial and professional services center. It also reflects the fact that Hong Kong is in "Mutual Development" and "Mutual Prosperity" with the Country.
