The Security Bureau (SB) held the SB and disciplined services’ “Join the Election Together We Create the Future” pledging ceremony today (November 8) to mobilise relevant departments, organisations and work partners to show full support for the 2025 Legislative Council General Election, make concerted efforts to publicise messages on the election and encourage members or employees, as well as various sectors of society, to fulfil their civic responsibility by casting their votes.

Some 400 people participated in the pledging ceremony. In addition to members led by the heads of the SB, the six disciplined services and the two auxiliary services, other participants from advisory and statutory bodies under the SB and departments, including the Independent Police Complaints Council, the Disciplined Services Consultative Council and the Police Force Council, as well as staff associations, youth groups and work partners of the SB and its departments were also invited. 

Addressing the pledging ceremony, the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, said that the SB and its departments gathered together today to show unity in support of the Legislative Council General Election. He said that after the implementation of the principle of “patriots administering Hong Kong” in the Legislative Council, quality lawmakers had given valuable advice for the smooth passage of important legislation, including the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance and other laws benefiting the people and businesses, as well as facilitating the work of law enforcement departments. Mr Tang called on participants to cast their votes on December 7 and encourage relatives and friends to vote as well to create a better future for Hong Kong.

Afterwards, Mr Tang and the heads of the disciplined services and auxiliary services performed the pledging ceremony by piecing together puzzles, each showing a department badge, onto a lighting installation with the election slogan “Join the Election Together We Create the Future”, symbolising the concerted efforts of the SB, the disciplined services and the auxiliary services to fully support the Legislative Council General Election.

After the ceremony, Mr Tang and the heads of the departments led their teams to distribute election leaflets in various districts to appeal people to cast their votes on the December 7 polling day.

     The Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Ms Lillian Cheong, and the Deputy Commissioner (Digital Infrastructure), Mr Daniel Cheung, attended the Cross-Strait, Hong Kong and Macao Internet Development Forum, the Cybersecurity Forum for Technology Development and International Cooperation, and the Data Governance Forum of the 2025 World Internet Conference (WIC) Wuzhen Summit held in Hangzhou today (November 8) respectively and exchanged views with representatives of government institutions, international organisations, enterprises and research institutes from various places on Hong Kong’s latest developments in innovation and technology (I&T). The Summit, with the theme “Forging an Open, Cooperative, Secure, and Inclusive Digital Future – Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace”, is hosted by the WIC.
 
     Addressing the Cross-Strait, Hong Kong and Macao Internet Development Forum today, Ms Cheong shared the latest overview of the promotion of the AI development in Hong Kong. She said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government is striving to cultivate a vibrant AI ecosystem. To advance the “AI+” development, the HKSAR Government proposed in this year’s Policy Address to step up the promotion of AI as a core industry for Hong Kong’s future development, guided by the strategy of “strengthening infrastructure and promoting the application-oriented approach” to create new quality productive forces for Hong Kong in the era of digital economy.
 
     Ms Cheong pointed out that the HKSAR Government has been adopting an all-rounded approach to support the development of the AI industry by supporting innovative research and development (R&D), uplifting computing infrastructure, actively implementing the open data policy and channelling market capital to invest in emerging and future industries of strategic importance including AI. She added that the establishment of the AI Efficacy Enhancement Team was also proposed in this year’s Policy Address to co-ordinate and steer government departments in the effective use of AI technology, with a view to achieving “industries for AI” and “AI for industries” in better alignment with the national “AI+” Initiative, so as to develop the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) into a global highland for the AI industry.
 
     Meanwhile, Mr Cheung delivered a keynote speech at the Cybersecurity Forum for Technology Development and International Cooperation today and shared the HKSAR Government’s policies and practices in promoting threat intelligence sharing and emergency response collaboration, as well as constructing a collaborative defence system. He stated that, in the face of increasingly complex cybersecurity threats, the HKSAR Government continues to promote intelligence sharing with other regions, deepen collaborative defence with local, Mainland and international partners, and further enhances cybersecurity governance to provide robust protection to the digital development of the HKSAR. Hong Kong will also fully leverage its role as a bridge in connecting the motherland internally and the world externally to promote international cybersecurity co-operation, making an active contribution to building a secure, trustworthy, shared and prosperous community of shared future in cyberspace.
 
     Mr Cheung also joined and spoke at the Data Governance Forum this afternoon, when he pointed out that the HKSAR Government has promulgated the Principles of Data Governance as well as the Hong Kong Generative Artificial Intelligence Technical and Application Guideline respectively to enhance quality and reliability of data, strengthen the protection of data, and provide the industry with an AI governance framework with local characteristics that is suitable for the Hong Kong context, and to effectively manage risks while encouraging innovation. Additionally, since the launch of the facilitation measure on the Standard Contract for the Cross-boundary Flow of Personal Information Within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland, Hong Kong), the facilitation measure has been widely acclaimed by the industry for enhancing overall convenience and effectively facilitating the integration of services in the financial, medical and talent aspects within the GBA.
 
     Ms Cheong visited the 2025 Light of Internet Expo and the World Internet Science and Technology Museum in Wuzhen before attending the forum to learn about the latest developments in technology in Hangzhou.
 
     During their visit to Hangzhou, Ms Cheong and Mr Cheung, accompanied by the Director of Zhejiang Liaison Unit of the HKSAR Government, Mr Terence Lau, visited the Hangzhou Biopharma Town and the Hangzhou Transfar Science and Technology City on November 6 to learn about the R&D layout, product pipeline and industrialisation planning in biopharmaceutics, medical devices, biomedical engineering and medical big data of the two parks. They also engaged in discussions with enterprises operating in the parks. They then visited the headquarters of the Transfar Group and met with the management team of the Group to learn about its international layout as well as planning and management of its technology park. Ms Cheong introduced the development of Hetao Hong Kong Park to the Group and invited it to settle there where the Group can expand businesses in Hong Kong by combining the Group’s R&D advantages in biotechnology research and building science and technology city with the opportunities in Hong Kong’s rapid I&T development.
 
     On November 7, Ms Cheong and Mr Cheung attended the opening ceremony and plenary session of the Summit. In the afternoon, they, accompanied by Mr Lau, visited Hangzhou Yunshenchu Technology Co Ltd and Hangzhou Yushu Technology Co Ltd of Hangzhou’s “Six Little Dragons”, to learn about the R&D and application of AI and robotics as well as the global development plans of the two enterprises. The duo shared with the management of the enterprises that under the National 15th Five Year Plan, Hong Kong will enhance its distinctive advantage of having strong support from the motherland and close connection with the world, coupled with the proactive development of AI and robotics industries in Hong Kong, which can help the two enterprises connect their R&D outcome and applications with the global markets.
 
     Mr Cheung attended the 2025 edition of the “Straight to Wuzhen” Global Internet Competition – the “Wings of Digital” Innovation Night yesterday evening in support of the annual “Straight to Wuzhen” Global Internet Competition organised by the WIC and the People’s Government of Zhejiang Province. He took the opportunity to cheer for the two Hong Kong teams that won in the Asia-Pacific regional competition, wishing them great success in the finale.
 
     Ms Cheong concluded her visit today and returned to Hong Kong in the evening.
 
     Mr Cheung will attend the Awards Presentation Ceremony and present awards at the “Straight to Wuzhen” Global Internet Competition, which is co-organised by the Digital Policy Office, tomorrow (November 9). He will return to Hong Kong in the evening.

     The Health Bureau, the Department of Health (DH) and Radio Television Hong Kong co-organised an event today (November 8) to promote the Organ Donation Day 2025. By honouring and showcasing the outstanding achievements of organ transplant recipients in international sports events, the event aims to encourage the public to embrace the spirit of generosity by actively supporting and registering as organ donors, to rekindle hope for patients urgently awaiting organ transplants.

     Officiating and delivering a speech at the event, the Secretary for Health, Professor Lo Chung-mau, said, “Despite the rapid advancement in medical technology nowadays, for some patients with organ failure, organ transplant remains the only hope to live on. Due to limited supply from donations of transplantable organs, many patients are struggling to battle their diseases every day, with some of them having passed away while waiting for suitable organs. Therefore, I appeal to members of the public to actively support organ donation by registering your wishes in the Centralised Organ Donation Register (CODR) now and informing your family members. This is crucial in shortening patients’ waiting time for organ transplants. Your decision can bring hopes for a new lease of life to patients waiting for organ transplant and their families.”

     Other officiating guests included the Director of Health, Dr Ronald Lam; the Acting Deputy Director of Broadcasting, Mr Vincent Lee; and the Chief Executive of the Hospital Authority, Dr Libby Lee. Representatives from various organisations actively promoting organ donation also attended the event to support Organ Donation Day.

     At the event, two organ transplant recipients who won awards at the 25th World Transplant Games in August this year shared their unforgettable experiences at the games. Their stories enabled the audience to witness not only their joy but also their perseverance in honouring the donors’ generous spirit through hard-earned medals. Organ Donation Day 2025 ambassadors Ms Michelle Wai and Mr Cheung Siu-lun also voiced their support for organ donation to more than 200 attendees.

     Besides sharing sessions, multiple organ transplant recipients teamed up with event hosts, university students and artistes in two groups to compete in three matches of pickleball, bowling and rhythmic fitness to showcase their skills. This allowed the public to witness how organ donation transforms recipients’ lives, enabling them to restore their precious health and empowering them to continue contributing to society.

     The Government has been working closely with community partners to promote organ donation and raise public awareness. Since its launch in 2016, more than 600 enterprises, organisations and schools have joined the Organ Donation Promotion Charter. In 2023, the CODR system was enhanced to facilitate the public to conveniently register or check their registration status via the “iAM Smart” mobile application, enhancing efficiency in identity authentication. This year, the DH has set up over 2 000 promotional booths across 18 districts in government or statutory bodies’ buildings, exhibitions, educational institutions, hospitals, District Health Centres, and other venues, and organised 10 health talks and train-the-trainer workshops. With ongoing publicity and promotional efforts through a multi-pronged approach, the number of registrations in the CODR has been steadily increasing in recent years, reaching a record-high of over 410 000.

     In Hong Kong, more than 2 000 patients and their families are still waiting in despair. The DH rolled out a new round of organ donation promotional campaign last month. From October 23 to December 3, the Organ Donation Promotion Vehicle will travel to various districts in Hong Kong, to remind the public of the “3Ss” motto of organ donation: to register their wishes in the CODR (Sign up), inform family members (Speak out), and advocate for organ donation among relatives and friends (Spread out). Members of the public can register for organ donation at the spot. Details of vehicle parking locations are available on the thematic website (www.organdonation.gov.hk/en/promotional_activities.html). Members of the public may also register through the CODR website (www.codr.gov.hk), or mail/fax application forms to the CODR Office. In future, the DH will continue to engage stakeholders to regularly review, co-ordinate and implement publicity and education initiatives on organ donation.

     For more information on organ donation, please visit the thematic website (www.organdonation.gov.hk), or Facebook page (www.facebook.com/organdonationhk) and Instagram page (www.instagram.com/organdonationhk) of Organ Donation at HK.

Vice President of the Organising Committee of the 15th National Games (NG) and Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, attended a press conference on preparations for the 15th National Games (NG) held by the Organising Committee of the 15th NG in Guangzhou today (November 8). 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 for the 15th NG.
 
     Addressing the press conference, Mr Chan said the NG this year is of extraordinary significance as it is jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao for the first time. It fully reflects the country’s high level of trust and expectations for Hong Kong, and demonstrates the enormous potential and promising prospects of co-ordinated sports development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), injecting new momentum and energy into promoting developments in the GBA and facilitating high-quality regional development.
 
     On how the Games would promote Hong Kong’s economic development and consolidate its status as a hub for international mega events, Mr Chan said that the 15th NG this year is the largest NG in history. It is expected that there will be nearly 4 000 people in total participating in the games in Hong Kong, including over 2 100 athletes and over 1 800 officials and technical officials. In addition, hundreds of media representatives will also come to Hong Kong to cover the games. Mr Chan said he believes that the games will attract a large number of visitors to watch the games in Hong Kong, experiencing the city’s charm and passion for sports.

     Mr Chan said, “Through organising the NG, Hong Kong showcases the city’s capability to organise large-scale competitions. It further solidifies Hong Kong’s reputation as an international capital of mega events, laying a solid foundation for attracting more premier sports events to be held in Hong Kong in the future. In addition, organising large-scale sports events will leverage the ‘sports plus tourism’ synergistic effect to drive the development of tourism, hotel, retail, and food and beverage industries. As more tourists from the Mainland and overseas are attracted to Hong Kong to enjoy the games and visit other GBA cities, it brings long-term benefits to the tourism trade and creates more collaboration opportunities in the GBA.”
 
     Regarding the arrangements of the cross-boundary road cycling event, Mr Chan said, “As the first-ever cross-boundary event in the history of the NG, it highlights the unique feature of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao cohosting the NG. To ensure the smooth implementation of the event, the three places have maintained close liaison to create a smooth and convenient cross-border clearance experience through advanced technologies and effective collaboration mechanisms, achieving the goal of ‘contactless clearance’.”
 
     He noted that an innovative mode of “pre-entry clearance and closed-loop management” is adopted for the event, conducting advance identity verification of relevant personnel, with a view to facilitating their entry to the closed-loop area and immigration clearance. During the event, athletes will wear wristbands with a global positioning system and equipment of radio frequency identification. Live broadcast monitoring and drone inspection systems will be equipped along the race course to keep track of the real-time movements and locations of all participants. In addition, athletes and equipment vehicles will be bound with magnetic chips, allowing efficient transmission of clearance information to the backend system, delivering a “contactless clearance” with zero delay, zero waiting time, and uninterrupted passage without stopping.
 
     He further stated that throughout the preparation and organisation process, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have maintained close communication. This includes visits to cross-boundary routes and co-ordination among relevant departments and units for several working meetings. The governments of the three places have engaged in substantial and meticulous co-ordination across various areas, such as managing road closures, implementing temporary control measures at control points, ensuring closed-loop arrangements throughout the events, providing motorcade escorts, “contactless clearance”, and preventing race convoys and athletes from deviating off course. This cross-boundary collaboration mode not only ensures the smooth execution of the event but also fosters people-to-people exchanges in the GBA, deepens regional co-operation mechanisms, and enhances the GBA’s overall capabilities comprehensively in holding large-scale competitions. It also provides practical opportunities and lays a solid foundation for future co-operation in the GBA.
 
     Mr Chan said, “By hosting the 15th NG, Hong Kong and other cities in the GBA can build closer sports partnerships, further break down geographical boundaries, achieve resource sharing and complementary advantages, and jointly advance the development of the sports industry of the GBA. This will attract more large-scale international sports events to Hong Kong and the GBA, continuously enhancing the region’s global influence and sports competitiveness.”
 
     Officials attending today’s press conference included Deputy Director of the General Administration of Sport of China Mr Li Jing; Vice President of the Organising Committee of the 15th NG and Standing Committee member of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, Mr Wang Xi; Mr Chan; and Vice President of the Organising Committee of the 15th NG and Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government, Ms O Lam.

     Mr Chan will attend the second plenary meeting of the Organising Committee and the second meeting of heads of delegations tomorrow (November 9).

[GOVT PRESS SECRETARIAT PRESS RELEASE] – The Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (MPMC) is setting the record straight in response to a front page article of the Samoa Observer of Friday, 31 October 2025 titled “Toelupe meets officials over PM’s NZ Meeting”.

The article alleges a meeting took place at the office of the Deputy Prime Minister on Thursday 30, October 2025 between Toelupe Maoiautele Poumulinuku Onesemo, CEO Agafili Tomaimanō Shem Leo and the CEO of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peseta Noumea Simi to discuss several matters of concerns surrounding the Prime Minister’s medical leave and foreign engagements.

The MPMC CEO however refutes such claims made by this Newspaper referring to the article as distorted given he was not at any point approached or contacted out of courtesy for confirmation regarding whether or not this meeting transpired.

He confirms no such meeting happened and Peseta and he were not together in the office of the Deputy Prime Minister yesterday as the article speculates.

“I can confirm that no such meeting happened” says CEO Agafili.

“Peseta and I were never contacted on this matter for alleged confirmation of the ‘phantom’ meeting and the photos with the article were not taken yesterday.”

Minister Of Finance, Mulipola Anarosa Ale- Molioo’s Opening Remarks To Commemorate Frankie Company Ltd Anniversary Celebration. – [25 October 2025-Siusega]

Susuga Reverend Falemai‘i Ropati Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

On behalf of the Government of Samoa, I extend warm congratulations to Frankie Company Limited as you mark another milestone in your remarkable journey of growth, service, and commitment to the people of Samoa.

From humble beginnings in 1995 as a small retail store in Fugalei, Frankie Company Limited has grown into one of Samoa’s leading family-owned enterprises. Your three-decade story reflects resilience, innovation, and strong Samoan business leadership.

From supermarkets and wholesale operations to hardware, poultry, hydroponics, and food production, Frankie has become a household name that continues to invest in Samoa’s economic future.

Your journey is not only a success story for one company — it is part of the broader story of Samoan enterprise.

With close to 900 employees, including 860 local staff, Frankie contributes significantly to employment, import substitution, and food security. Equally important are your wider economic contributions — through taxes, VAGST, customs duties, and levies — which directly support Government revenues and the essential services that benefit all Samoans.

As we celebrate today, the Government also acknowledges the many Samoan- owned businesses across Upolu and Savai‘i whose collective efforts strengthen our nation’s economy — from village-based ventures to large-scale industries.

Each business plays a vital role in shaping Samoa’s economic resilience and in supporting families and communities across the country.

The Government continues to encourage all our business partners to invest in ways that uplift our people — by creating decent jobs, supporting local suppliers, and contributing to shared prosperity. Together, these efforts embody the spirit of our national manifesto: People, People, People —reminding us that every policy, every investment, and every partnership must ultimately serve our people.

The success of our nation depends on the strength of partnership — a whole- of-government and whole-of-community approach that brings together the public sector, private sector, faith-based organisations, village leadership, academia, and civil society.

When we work together, we build not only stronger businesses but stronger communities — grounded in service, opportunity, and shared responsibility. Frankie’s story, like so many others, is a testament to what can be achieved when enterprise meets purpose and when success becomes a blessing for many.

The Government of Samoa values the contribution of Frankie Company Limited and of every Samoan business that continues to serve with commitment and integrity. Your motto — “We never rest to bring you the best” — reflects a work ethic that resonates with the spirit of service we hope to see across all sectors.

As you look toward 2025 and beyond, may Frankie Company Limited remain a proud example of Samoan entrepreneurship — walking alongside other local enterprises as we build a resilient, people-centered economy together.

“When every business success becomes a community blessing, and every policy uplifts a family, then we know — our work truly serves the people.”

Fa‘afetai tele lava, and congratulations once again.

May God continue to bless your business, your leadership, and your service to Samoa.

Soifua ma ia manuia.
