In March, Swire Pacific Chairman Guy Bradley attended the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in Hainan. Joining a panel discussion entitled "Asia: Building an Epicentrum of Growth", Guy talked about how Hong Kong, as the world's busiest air cargo hub by volume, is capitalising on the Greater Bay Area to expand its global transportation network. He also envisaged that Hong Kong will play an increasingly significant role in helping Asia tackle supply chain challenges.
During his visit to Hainan, Guy also met with Mr Feng Fei, Secretary of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee, in Haikou. Mr Feng discussed the ongoing construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port and expressed his hopes for deepening cooperation with the Swire Group across various sectors, while Guy stressed Swire’s confidence in Hainan’s future development prospects and outlined the Group’s long-term investment strategy for the Chinese Mainland. Later, Guy visited Sanya and met with Mr Zhou Hongbo, Secretary of the CPC Sanya Committee. Mr Zhou said he was delighted with Swire’s ongoing investments in Sanya and outlined his vision for the future of the city.
