Secretary for Justice Paul Lam on Sunday said the government hoped to work closely with the legal sector to help practitioners better navigate the changing international environment and strengthen external exchanges. Speaking on a Commercial Radio programme, Lam stressed that collaboration was a central theme of this year’s Legal Week, which concluded on Friday, demonstrating the government's drive to take the initiative. "The Department of Justice often plays a leading role. We hope that more of our local friends from the legal sector will participate, understand the latest environment, and make new connections — whether from the mainland or overseas. Internally, we must collaborate, but more importantly, we need to collaborate with partners outside Hong Kong," he said. For Hong Kong to truly live up to its reputation as an international legal centre, the justice secretary stressed the SAR needs to strengthen relationships with external legal institutions and engage in more direct communication. Describing it as “symbolic”, Lam noted that the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law held its centenary celebration in Hong Kong during Legal Week while concurrently hosting the opening ceremony for its Asia-Pacific Liaison Office. He stressed that Hong Kong secured the institution's first office outside its seat in Rome in its 100-year history with the country's support. He added that Hong Kong played an important role in helping the country promote a fairer, and rules-based international order. Edited by Tony Sabine
