商界領袖盛智文(Allan Zeman)最近接受了續任行政長官顧問團成員的任命,任期為兩年。盛智文長期擔任香港歷屆行政長官的顧問,他表示,他之所以繼續擔任該職位,是因為該顧問團作為一個高層次的戰略諮詢機構,迄今為止卓有成效。
他補充說,行政長官李家超的治理方式給他留下了深刻的印象。
「我們每年開會幾次,討論香港需要什麼,(以及)我們看到的問題——也許是(諸如)I&T(創新與技術)的發展,(以及)現在每個人都在談論的AI(人工智能)。」
「也許香港在某些方面有所欠缺,需要我們迎頭趕上。我認為他(李家超)非常開明,也意識到了問題所在。如果你能提出一些捷徑,讓事情進展得更快,他就會付諸行動。」
盛智文還對啟德體育園項目大加讚賞,表示他相信政府在建設他認為是世界上最好的體育場館之一方面做得非常出色。
此外,他強調,香港在吸引家族辦公室方面取得了顯著成功。
未來四年內,大約會有400到500個家族辦公室落戶香港並註冊。這意味着香港實際上可能會有3100到3200個家族辦公室——我們將成為全球家族辦公室數量第一的城市。
他表示,這表明人們對香港充滿信心。當然,一些機構剛剛公布的數據顯示,香港是全球競爭力排名第三的城市。我們已躍升至第三名,這是一個非常了不起的成就。
李家超上任以來,已率領多個代表團出訪海外及內地。盛智文表示,這些訪問將惠及香港,提升香港的國際形象。
以下為訪問的英文版本:
Businessman Allan Zeman recently accepted reappointment as a member of the Chief Executive’s Council of Advisers for another two years. As a long-standing adviser to consecutive Hong Kong leaders, he says he was motivated to continue his membership by the council’s effectiveness to date as a high-level strategic advisory body.
He added that he has been deeply impressed by the governance approach taken by Chief Executive John Lee.
“A few times a year we meet to discuss what Hong Kong needs, (and) the problems that we see – maybe (developments like) I&T (innovation & technology), (and) now where everyone is talking about AI (artificial intelligence).”
“Maybe Hong Kong is lacking in certain areas where we need to catch up. I think he (Mr Lee) is very open-minded and he realises the problems. If you suggest maybe some shortcuts to make things move quicker, he will act on it.”
Mr Zeman also lavished praise on the Kai Tak Sports Park project, stating that he believes the Government has done an excellent job in constructing what he considers to be one of the best stadiums in the world.
In addition, he highlighted that Hong Kong has enjoyed significant success in attracting family offices.
“There (are) approximately 400 to 500 more family offices that within the next four years will be coming to Hong Kong and signing up. That will make Hong Kong actually maybe with 3,100 or 3,200 family offices – we will be number one in the world for family offices.
“This shows the confidence that people have in Hong Kong. And of course, some of the agencies just came out showing Hong Kong was the third most competitive place in the world. We have moved up to slot number three, which again, is really, really a great achievement. I put this down to John Lee and his management and the style that he has done from the beginning.”
Since taking office, Mr Lee has led several delegations on trips overseas and to the Mainland. Mr Zeman said these visits will benefit Hong Kong and enhance its profile internationally.
“I think we are looking at new markets and the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) market which the Chief Executive has led a few delegations to visit. (Also) the Middle East, again, he has led delegations, and also going to Mainland China – Hangzhou and other places. And so really to tell a good Hong Kong story, we now have a really good story to tell.”
