The 9th Belt and Road Summit was opened in Hong Kong

According to Amac News: The announcement states that this summit started with the theme of "building a connected, innovative and green belt and road".
The announcement stated that in this two-day summit, more than 80 senior officials and business leaders from countries and regions of the Belt and Road gathered to explore numerous business opportunities.
Held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the event serves as a leading platform for Hong Kong to promote the BRI.
Earlier this year, Hong Kong launched the world's first multi-currency green bond as part of its commitment to being a green financial center, he added.
Last year, the "Belt and Road" economies accounted for more than 43 percent of Hong Kong's foreign trade by value with the rest of the world other than the mainland. This compares to less than a third in 2013.
Between 2013 and 2023, Hong Kong's foreign trade with "Belt and Road" economies other than the mainland will increase by almost 60 percent, said John Lee, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government.
During a press conference on the eve of the summit, the Belt and Road Initiative Commissioner Nicholas Ho Lik-chi emphasized the deep ties between the UAE and Hong Kong that began in the early 2000s.
He also emphasized the significant cooperation between Dubai International Financial Center and Hong Kong International Financial Center as well as cooperation in green and blue economy sectors.
