Chief Executive to attend Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan

Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai will visit Hainan Province from today to participate in the plenary session of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2026 on Thursday.

The four-day forum, held from March 24 to 27, carries the theme “Shaping the Future Together: New Trends, New Opportunities and New Cooperation.”

The event will bring together leaders, experts, and business figures to discuss strategies for injecting greater certainty into an uncertain world.

Topics include investment in future development, the role of Global South nations in economic governance, Asia’s leadership in global transitions, evolving trade landscapes amid tariff tensions, climate governance, and safeguarding shared economic security.

The forum aims to foster consensus, strengthen confidence, and provide stability amid global unrest.

The forum also offers a platform to explore opportunities arising from China’s 15th Five-Year Plan and its efforts to expand high-level opening-up, facilitating mutual benefits and investment prospects.

Joining the Macau delegation as an adviser is Bian Lixin, Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Macau. During the Chief Executive’s absence, Secretary for Administration and Justice Wong Sio Chak will act as Chief Executive.
