FEHD releases third batch of gravidtrap indexes for Aedes albopictus in March
District
District Among the third batch of First Phase Gravidtrap Indexes covering four survey areas and Area Gravidtrap Indexes covering 15 survey areas in March, most of the areas recorded 0 per cent, indicating that the distribution of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes was not extensive.
The FEHD has so far released three batches of gravidtrap indexes for Aedes albopictus in March 2026, covering 32 survey areas. Among these 32 survey areas, 24 recorded a decrease or remained unchanged as compared to the Area Gravidtrap Index last month (i.e. February 2026), representing that the areas’ mosquito infestation improved or maintained a low level. Eight other areas recorded a slight increase, but the indexes were lower than 10 per cent. Starting in August 2025, following the completion of the surveillance of individual survey areas, and once the latest gravidtrap index and the density index are available, the FEHD has been disseminating relevant information through press releases, its website and social media. It aims to allow members of the public to quickly grasp the mosquito infestation situation and strengthen mosquito control efforts, thereby reducing the risk of chikungunya fever (CF) transmission.
Following recommendations from the World Health Organization and taking into account the local situation in Hong Kong, the FEHD sets up gravidtraps in districts where mosquito-borne diseases have been recorded in the past, as well as in densely populated places such as housing estates, hospitals and schools to monitor the breeding and distribution of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, which can transmit CF and dengue fever. At present, the FEHD has set up gravidtraps in 62 survey areas of the community, with a surveillance period of two weeks. During the surveillance period, the FEHD will collect the gravidtraps once a week. After the first week of surveillance, the FEHD will immediately examine the glue boards inside the retrieved gravidtraps for the presence of adult Aedine mosquitoes to compile the Gravidtrap Index (First Phase) and Density Index (First Phase). At the end of the second week of surveillance, the FEHD will instantly check the glue boards for the presence of adult Aedine mosquitoes. Data from the two weeks of surveillance will be combined to obtain the Area Gravidtrap Index and the Area Density Index. The gravidtrap and density indexes for Aedes albopictus in different survey areas, as well as information on mosquito prevention and control measures, are available on the department’s webpage (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/pestcontrol/dengue_fever/Dengue_Fever_Gravidtrap_Index_Update.html#Issued at HKT 17:00

On the afternoon of March 17, President Lai Ching-te met with a delegation led by former President Lech Walesa of Poland. In remarks, President Lai thanked former President Walesa for always standing with Taiwan over the past 30 years, noting that the former president has witnessed Taiwan’s democratization process and seen it overcome various challenges to become a force for good in the world. The president expressed hope that Taiwan and Poland will deepen cooperation in areas such as democratic defense and societal resilience, trade and the economy, technology, and supply chain security, working together to make even greater contributions to democracy and peace in the world. He emphasized that Taiwan will continue to work with and support like-minded countries to safeguard regional peace and stability and promote global prosperity and development.
A translation of President Lai’s remarks follows:
Today, on behalf of our nation and people, I am deeply honored to welcome former President Walesa, a pioneer of Poland’s democratic movement, who is visiting Taiwan for the seventh time. Former President Walesa’s journey is truly admirable. He went from bravely opposing authoritarian rule to being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; from being a leader of the democratic movement to becoming the first democratically elected president after Poland’s democratization. His personal experience tells the world that freedom is never a gift from the powers that be, and that democracy is not a historical accident. As long as the people do not give up hope and society unites against external forces, though faced with high authoritarian walls, the will to freedom will ultimately break through.
Taiwan is no stranger to the path Poland has traversed. We have both struggled under authoritarian rule, moving step by step toward democracy. Poland is a pioneer of democratization in Eastern Europe, while Taiwan is a model of peaceful transition. Precisely because we have trod the same path, we know better than anyone that democracy does not fall from the sky, and that it requires the joint guardianship of generation after generation.
This year is the 30th anniversary of our first direct presidential election. Thirty years ago, under military threat from missiles, the people of Taiwan did not yield, but resolutely cast their sacred votes to complete the first direct presidential election in Taiwan’s history. From that moment on, the belief that sovereignty rests in the hands of the people has taken deep root in this land.
In 1996, at a crucial moment when Taiwan had just completed its first direct presidential election and experienced the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis, former President Walesa first visited Taiwan and delivered a speech at our Legislative Yuan, providing great encouragement and support to our people through his concrete actions. In his speech, while not disregarding the dangers that exist in the modern world, former President Walesa stated his belief that “‘good’ will prevail.” Over these past 30 years, former President Walesa has visited Taiwan numerous times, witnessing Taiwan’s democratization process and seeing Taiwan overcome various threats and challenges to become a force for good in the world.
Taiwan is determined to continue as a force for good and become a contributor to global democratic resilience. We believe that in the face of rapid changes in global geopolitics, non-conventional threats, and intensifying gray-zone aggression, like-minded countries must work together and support one another to safeguard regional peace and stability and promote global prosperity and development. We look forward to Taiwan and Poland deepening cooperation, whether in areas such as democratic defense and societal resilience, or in trade and the economy, technology, and supply chain security, working together to make even greater contributions to democracy and peace in the world.
Once again, I want to thank former President Walesa for always standing with Taiwan over the past 30 years. May Taiwan and Poland continue to demonstrate their determination to defend freedom and become a steadfast force for the safeguarding of democracy, and may we continue to shine the light of democracy around the world. I wish former President Walesa a smooth and successful visit.
Former President Walesa then delivered remarks, first noting that this generation has experienced many changes and now faces opportunities for prosperity and peace. He expressed his pleasure in engaging in dialogue and exchange with other countries through the Yushan Forum and exploring current international developments from diverse perspectives.
Former President Walesa stated that he has on multiple occasions publicly called on China not to take wrong actions against Taiwan, emphasizing that this generation should pursue peace and prosperity together through sustained dialogue and exchange. He stressed that he has always stood with Taiwan and will continue to support Taiwan. He noted that Taiwan and Poland face similarly difficult situations, but solutions should not be provided by outside parties. Rather, the future of Taiwan should be decided by the people of Taiwan themselves. He said he looks forward to further exchanges with all sectors of society.
The delegation was accompanied to the Presidential Office by Director of the Polish Office in Taipei Janusz Henryk Bilski.
The Social Welfare Department today announced that standard payments under the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) Scheme and allowances under the Social Security Allowance (SSA) Scheme will be increased by 2.2%.
Allowances that will be increased under the SSA Scheme include the Old Age Allowance, the Old Age Living Allowance and the Disability Allowance.
All of the increases will take retrospective effect from February 1, the department added.
Retrospective payments will be issued in batches from tomorrow through the existing payment method, benefitting over 1.6 million recipients.
Following the Government’s submission to the Legislative Council Finance Committee of a proposal to raise payment levels, in line with movement in the Social Security Assistance Index of Prices, the proposal was approved last month.
In addition, in line with movement in the Consumer Price Index (A) rent index for private housing, the Government will increase the maximum rent allowance under the CSSA Scheme by 1.3%, also with retrospective effect from February 1.
The Wealth for Good in Hong Kong Summit, co-organised by the Financial Services & the Treasury Bureau and Invest Hong Kong, will be held next Tuesday, the Government announced today.
Under the theme “Building Lasting Legacies”, this year’s summit highlights the wave brought by the continuous growth of family office assets and generational wealth transition in recent years. The Government said that the summit, in addition to serving as an exchange platform for family office decision-makers and successors around the world, will also be an occasion for participants to experience how Hong Kong leverages its solid financial foundation to facilitate wealth succession and value appreciation.
This year’s summit will showcase Hong Kong’s strengths and potential through three core themes, namely “Strategic Asset Management for Family Legacy”, “Cultural Value Foundation for a Thriving Market”, and “Smart Tech Innovation Driving Capital Appreciation”. Heavyweight speakers will share their visionary thinking on the future of the family office ecosystem. A special fireside chat will also explore how sports and philanthropy can work together to create value for society.
Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui said: “The global landscape is evolving fast these days with geopolitics getting more complex. There has never been a better time for hosting the summit than now to give family offices looking for diversified allocation and risk dispersion an occasion to connect with each other and explore opportunities.”
Noting that the summit is a flagship event to display to the global wealth owners Hong Kong’s unique advantages, Mr Hui added that the Government will continue to consolidate the city’s leading position as a family wealth hub in the Asia-Pacific region, positioning it as the most preferred platform for ultra-high-net-worth families worldwide to manage their cross-border wealth.
Beyond the Wealth for Good in Hong Kong Summit, the Milken Institute will host the Global Investors’ Symposium next Monday, while Bloomberg LP will stage the Family Office Forum next Wednesday, focusing on wealth management and global investment trends.
On the afternoon of March 17, President Lai Ching-te met with participants in the 2026 Yushan Forum. In remarks, President Lai emphasized that the government has been making greater efforts to build a more resilient Taiwan, and that Taiwan aims to form not only national teams but also international teams, continuing to harness the power of solidarity with other nations. He said that Taiwan is willing to share its experiences with the world, and stands ready to work with like-minded friends and allies to jointly shoulder responsibilities and tackle challenges. The president expressed hope that the Yushan Forum will continue to serve as a vital platform connecting Taiwan, the Indo-Pacific, and the world, allowing Taiwan to be the source of even more collaboration and the origin of many other friendships.
A transcript of President Lai’s remarks follows:
Yesterday, I was honored to attend the opening ceremony of the ninth Yushan Forum. Today, I am delighted to meet you all here at the Presidential Office. On behalf of the people of Taiwan, I would like to once again express my gratitude to you for traveling from afar to participate in the forum. Yushan is the highest peak in Taiwan and symbolizes a spirit of steadfast resilience. In recent years, we have made greater efforts to build a more resilient Taiwan. The Yushan Forum brings nations from all regions of the globe and partners from diverse fields to Taiwan to exchange experiences, forge deep partnerships, and together contribute even more to the world.
This year’s Yushan Forum has been the largest ever, fully demonstrating the importance that the international community places on Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region. Your presence not only brings your nations’ experiences to Taiwan but also underscores the international community’s shared expectations for global security and resilience. I would like to thank our distinguished guests for their longstanding support and regard for Taiwan. In the face of a rapidly changing international outlook and a growing rise in non-traditional threats and gray-zone activities, the security and stability of the Indo-Pacific region remain our shared goals.
It is said that peace comes through strength. Taiwan plays a crucial role in global supply chains and the first island chain in the [Indo-]Pacific region. We are resolutely pursuing peace while actively enhancing our self-defense capabilities. This is because peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are essential elements of global security and prosperity. Although our nations lie far apart, our pursuit of peace and prosperity transcends distance. As I mentioned in my opening remarks to the forum, Taiwan aims to form not only a national team but also an international team, continuing to harness the power of solidarity with other nations so as to promote global stability, prosperity, and sustainable development. Be it on matters of democratic governance, supply chain resilience, maritime security, or regional stability, Taiwan is willing to continue sharing its experiences with the world. We stand ready to work with like-minded and friendly nations to jointly shoulder responsibilities and resolve challenges.
Our distinguished guests today are from governments, parliaments, academia, and the private sector. We look forward to working closely with all of you to advance bilateral relations across all fields. And among us today are friends visiting Taiwan for the first time and old friends who have returned to us. Every reunion is precious, and every first encounter is to be treasured. Looking ahead, we hope the Yushan Forum will continue to serve as a vital platform connecting Taiwan, the Indo-Pacific, and the world. This will allow Taiwan to be the source of even more collaboration and the origin of many other friendships. In closing, I wish you all a fruitful and successful visit. Thank you very much.
Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Fiji Mahendra Chaudhry then delivered remarks, first expressing deepest gratitude on behalf of all foreign delegates, experts, and partners gathered for the 2026 Yushan Forum to President Lai and the government and people of Taiwan for their warm hospitality. He stated that the Yushan Forum has become a vital platform for dialogue, fostering the New Southbound Policy, and strengthening connections between Taiwan and the region, and noted that this year’s theme, “Indo-Pacific Partnership Prospects: Taiwan’s Values, Technology, and Resilience,” highlights the urgent need for collaboration.
Former Prime Minister Chaudhry said that the vibrancy of Taiwan’s democracy and innovation is inspiring, recognizing Taiwan’s steadfast commitment to regional stability, economic prosperity, and sustainable development. By convening leaders from across the globe, he said, Taiwan facilitates partnerships that bridge oceans and cultures, emphasizing that Taiwan’s vision for a more resilient, inclusive, and interconnected Indo-Pacific is deeply impressive.
The former prime minister stated that Taiwan is blessed with Mother Nature’s bounty and home to a people with exceptional talent and industry. He also stated that the Yushan Forum not only offers a platform for discussing shared challenges, but also serves as a catalyst for building lasting solutions together. Former Prime Minister Chaudhry closed his remarks by thanking Taiwan for its commitment to fostering international solidarity, saying that they leave determined to enhance collaboration in the years ahead.
Also in attendance were Minister of Information and Communication Technologies of the Republic of Paraguay Gustavo Emigdio Villate Samaniego, Member of the Seimas(parliament) and former Minister of National Defence of the Republic of Lithuania Dovilė Šakalienė, Member of the Chamber of Deputies and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic Jan Lipavský, and Republic of Korea Reform Party Chairman Lee Jun Seok.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Hong Kong for Global Talent Summit Week, the second edition.
This year, we welcome some 7,000 of you from around the world. You are here because Hong Kong is fast rising as an international talent hub. This week, you will see exactly why.
Global Talent Summit Week features the International Talent Forum and the CareerConnect Expo. The forum, under the theme “Connecting Global Minds”, puts a welcome spotlight on education, technology and talent, and their essential integration.
CareerConnect Expo offers five thematic zones and participation from about 70 companies, education and technology institutions and government departments. Companies engage directly with professionals seeking fresh opportunities and partnerships, here in Hong Kong and in the Greater Bay Area.
New this year are nine satellite events, focused on talent and human resources. They include conferences, recruitment fairs and corporate award ceremonies.
The collective result, I am confident, will be a week, and more, of high-powered insight and intelligence covering careers, talent development and wide-ranging possibilities.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are in a time of profound global transformation, with artificial intelligence, digital innovation and accelerated technological advancements reshaping industries and redefining skills. Equally unsettling is the impact of demographic change on global talent.
Finding and retaining talent have become central to economic strategy and public policy worldwide. Governments and companies alike recognise that competitiveness no longer depends solely on capital or physical infrastructure, but above all, on people, their knowledge, creativity and adaptability.
Hong Kong, I am here to tell you, approaches this global challenge with clarity, commitment and determination.
Thanks to the “one country, two systems” principle, Hong Kong benefits from the strong support of our country, China, while maintaining extensive international connectivity.
This unique advantage allows us to remain a highly open, globally engaged economy, firmly anchored within the high-quality development of our country.
We serve as a “super connector” and “super value-adder”, connecting the Chinese Mainland and global markets, enabling the free flow of capital, information, technology and people. International companies and investors access opportunities in our country through Hong Kong, while Chinese Mainland enterprises engage confidently with the world here.
And guided by the national strategy, we are strengthening our roles and focus, enhancing Hong Kong’s status as an international financial, shipping and trade centre and an international aviation hub, and, among others, building an international hub for high-calibre talent. These policy priorities offer high-quality and high-value opportunities for global talent across a wide range of disciplines.
Our strategy is comprehensive and forward-looking. We integrate talent development with economic transformation, technological advancement and regional co-operation.
We are expanding partnerships among universities, research institutions and industries to accelerate innovation, research commercialisation and entrepreneurship.
Hong Kong is the only city in the world with five universities ranked among the global top 100. (I) remind you, Hong Kong is a small city: we only have 1,100 square kilometres. Building on this international recognition, we are increasing pathways for graduates and researchers to translate knowledge into practical solutions and enterprises.
We are fast-tracking development of the Northern Metropolis – an area bordering Shenzhen and covering one third of Hong Kong’s landmass – as an international innovation and technology centre.
We are developing co-operation within the Greater Bay Area, which is an area with a combined population of over 87 million and a strong manufacturing and innovation base across 11 cities. The Greater Bay Area offers immense opportunities for cross-boundary collaboration and talent mobility.
No less important, Hong Kong remains firmly committed to openness and internationalisation. Our rule of law, independent judiciary and dependable institutions provide stability and confidence.
Our simple and competitive tax regime, and open and internationalised business environment, attract companies and investors from around the world.
Quality of life is another Hong Kong strength. We offer world-class public services and transport, together with a bountiful, East-meets-West cultural scene.
Our efforts, I am pleased to say, have been widely recognised. In the International Institute for Management Development’s World Talent Ranking 2025, Hong Kong rose to fourth, globally, from ninth position the year before, while ranking first in Asia.
This achievement reflects the strength of our education system, the openness of our economy and the vitality of our institutions. It reflects a telling vote of confidence from global talent.
As of the end of February, we have approved over 410,000 applications under our various talent admission schemes. And more than 270,000 professionals have arrived in Hong Kong.
Building a global talent hub requires constant renewal, active engagement and sustained collaboration. Global Talent Summit Week fully embodies this commitment, turning the entire week into a dynamic exchange of ideas and opportunities.
In connecting policymakers, industry leaders, scholars and professionals, it creates networks and partnerships that will endure long beyond this week.
But even as global competition for talent intensifies, our objective should not be to outcompete one another. Rather, our goal must be to expand opportunities through co-operation and shared progress.
Hong Kong has long embodied that ideal. And we will continue to uphold openness, deepen international engagement and align closely with our national development strategies.
We will further refine our policies in education, innovation and infrastructure, ensuring that our city remains a fertile ground for ideas and enterprises, (so) that talent from around the world feels welcomed, valued and supported here.
Above all, we will continue to place people at the centre of our vision for the future. Economic indicators and technological achievements are important, but human development remains our ultimate goal.
When individuals are free to realise their potential, innovation flourishes, economies develop and advance and societies thrive.
Ladies and gentlemen, Global Talent Summit Week reflects our shared belief that talent transcends borders and connects the world.
I wish you all a productive and inspiring summit week. And find time to enjoy the art, culture and entertainment that Hong Kong, Asia’s world city, has long been celebrated for.
Chief Executive John Lee gave these remarks at the Global Talent Summit Week on March 18.
Chief Executive John Lee today expressed sorrow over the passing of Sir Anthony Mason, a former non-permanent judge of the Court of Final Appeal, and extended his deepest condolences to Sir Anthony’s family.
Sir Anthony was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal in 2013 in recognition of his contributions to Hong Kong. He served as a non-permanent judge of the Court of Final Appeal from 1997 to 2015.
Mr Lee said that Sir Anthony brought profound wisdom and illustrious experience in his contributions to nurturing the Court of Final Appeal’s development from its earliest days, and that he adjudicated a wide range of high-profile cases, serving the court with dedication and excellence.
The Chief Executive highlighted Sir Anthony was highly esteemed and respected in the judicial and legal sectors, and consistently supported – both during his tenure and after his retirement – Hong Kong’s appointment of judges from common law jurisdictions as non-permanent judges of the Court of Final Appeal under the Basic Law.
He added that Sir Anthony was instrumental in establishing the Court of Final Appeal’s reputation and furthering its prestige in Hong Kong and other common law jurisdictions.
“Sir Anthony also steadfastly supported legal education in Hong Kong, having lectured to numerous students, teachers and legal professionals of Hong Kong throughout the years. He constantly inspired the younger generation with his wit and intellect and made eminent contributions to Hong Kong’s legal sector.”
Chief Justice Andrew Cheung, Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal, also expressed deep sadness over Sir Anthony’s passing.
“He sat on many of the court’s most significant constitutional cases during its formative years and authored some of its most important judgments. Beyond constitutional law, he also contributed substantially to the court’s jurisprudence in other important areas of law, leaving a lasting imprint on its early development.”
The 2026 Award Scheme for Learning Experiences, aimed at those in industries implementing the Qualifications Framework (QF), is now open to applications until May 31, the Government announced today.
Practitioners from 23 industries implementing the QF are welcome to apply.
The Education Bureau highlighted that the scheme supports industry practitioners’ professional development in the workplace.
Since its launch in 2013, it has attracted more than 2,800 applicants from different industries, with more than 800 awards being given.
More than half of the awardees have participated in overseas learning activities, with the remainder engaging in such activities locally.
Activities include competitions, seminars, sharing sessions, exhibitions and study tours.
Awardees engaging in local learning activities will receive an award of $10,000, while those engaging in learning activities outside of Hong Kong will receive a prize of $30,000.

Following is the speech by the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law, at the Hong Kong Night @ FILMART (Hong Kong International Film & TV Market) 2026 today (March 17):
Wilfred (Chairman of the Film Development Council, Dr Wilfred Wong), distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening. A very warm welcome to all of you, joining us from near and far, at the Hong Kong Night @ FILMART 2026.
FILMART, which opens today and marks its 30th anniversary this year, is Asia’s largest film and entertainment content marketplace. It is also one of the world’s premier film industry events, proudly presented by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, a valued partner of the Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) Government in promoting Hong Kong films and fostering international collaborations.
FILMART offers a vital platform for entertainment and film industry professionals from across the globe to showcase their content and explore opportunities for cross media, cross-sector collaboration and partnerships. Since 2023, my bureau – the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau – has hosted Hong Kong Night, a gathering designed to bring together our partners and collaborators, and to share highlights of this year’s FILMART before your busy schedule begins.
As in previous years, the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) under my bureau, together with the Hong Kong Film Development Council (FDC), are organising several events at FILMART 2026. A key highlight is the debut of “AI Academy, AI Hub”, a programme that brings together specialists and pioneering users to share their professional knowledge and practical applications of AI engines and tools in the creation and production of high-quality film and animated content. While AI’s full potential is yet to be realised, it is undoubtedly the most transformative development in decades – reshaping content, production models and business strategies, and redefining the core competitiveness of the film industry. We are ready to embrace and seize the new opportunities this brings.
Another major highlight is “Producers Connect”, launched last year to great success. This initiative brings together local and international film professionals to explore co-production and business opportunities, while also nurturing emerging local producers. The Government has long recognised that talent development is fundamental to the sustainable growth of the film industry. To that end, CCIDA and the FDC have been working tirelessly. We sponsor filmmakers to attend overseas film festivals and subsidise various training programmes to support young directors and scriptwriters.
Enhancing international collaboration with industry partners beyond Hong Kong remains a core policy objective, especially as Hong Kong is uniquely positioned as the centre of East-meets-West cultural exchanges. FILMART is a prime example of this role. In addition, CCIDA leads industry delegations to international film festivals and promotes coproductions with Asian filmmakers.
While you are in Hong Kong, I encourage you to step out and explore our city’s vibrant landscape. Over the past year, we have launched two film-related exhibitions in local settings. One is the “Kowloon Walled City: A Cinematic Journey” Exhibition in Kowloon Walled City Park, recreating the set of the acclaimed Hong Kong film, “Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In”. The other is “Yau Ma Tei Police Station: A Cinematic Journey” at the Old Yau Ma Tei Police Station, reimagining a 1980s police station often featured in classic Hong Kong crime films. Both have become major attractions for tourists and film lovers alike. I highly encourage you to join the tour and discover many of our city’s fascinating sites.
I would like to thank Dr Wong, the Chairman of the FDC, and all FDC members for their invaluable contributions and steadfast support for the development of Hong Kong’s film industry. I wish you all a very pleasant evening and a rewarding and productive FILMART in the days ahead. Thank you.
