My congratulations to the Centre of Excellence for Major Project Leaders on the special occasion of its inauguration. It is a great pleasure to be the Honorary President of the Centre.

Hong Kong has long been recognised, internationally, for our formidable strengths in infrastructure development. The World Economic Forum has ranked top, globally, in infrastructure Mr. Paul CHAN Mo-po for eight consecutive years. Countless infrastructure projects are on GBM, GBS, MH, JP the way or in the pipeline. Our annual public works expenditure will hit $100 billion in the next few years. With such a huge investment in our future, we need to be sure that our resources are used as smartly, as effectively and efficiently, as possible.

The idea of setting up this Centre of Excellence was announced in the 2018 Policy Address. It is a Centre dedicated to ensuring that our public works projects are developed and delivered with world-class leadership and innovation. It is also designed to drive infrastructure direction and development deep into this 21st century of opportunity.

My thanks to the , for bringing the Centre to promising life, and to the Oxford Saïd Business School, which has designed and will run the initial Major Projects Leadership Programme. I look forward to seeing the Centre in achieving its mission with great success in the coming years.
