This is Lee’s first visit to Malaysia after being appointed as the fifth HKSAR Chief Executive in 2022.

Anwar and Lee are expected to exchange views on developments in bilateral cooperation and the way forward, especially in the fields of trade and economy, innovation and technology, and people-to-people exchanges.

Lee is heading a delegation comprising senior officials of HKSAR and representatives of various sectors, including industries and commerce; trade; innovation and technology; as well as transport and logistics.

Lee is scheduled to attend a Malaysia-Hong Kong business forum and witness the signing of several memorandums of understanding (MOUs) between business entities during his visit. - BERNAMA
