The Vice President of the Organising Committee of the 15th National Games (NG) and Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, attended a press conference on preparations for the 15th NG organised by the Information Office of the State Council this afternoon (July 25) in Beijing. Mr Chan, along with relevant officials from the General Administration of Sport of China, Guangdong Province and the Macao Special Administrative Region, introduced the progress of the preparations and highlights of the 15th NG.
As regards Hong Kong’s advantages in organising competition events, Mr Chan said, “The successful test events for the 15th NG held in Hong Kong have showcased the city’s capability to organise large-scale competitions. As a cosmopolitan city, Hong Kong’s strategic location and convenient transportation have attracted both overseas and Mainland tourists, as well as media. Leveraging its institutional and geographical strengths from ‘one country, two systems’, along with the unique advantage of having strong support from the motherland and close connection with the world, Hong Kong can serve as a solid force in national sports development, backed by rich experience and the capability to organise large-scale sports events.
