Chen Meibao: Hong Kong vigorously promotes the "Iron Sea Land River" multimodal transport + green shipping data platform as three major central strategic links.

According to the Zhishi Finance APP, on July 28, Hong Kong Secretary for Transport and Housing, Frank Chan Fan, attended the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Data Summit 2025 and stated that the country supports Hong Kong's strategic positioning as the financial center, shipping center, and logistics center. We often say that these three centers are all very important and are also traditional advantages. In fact, the three are closely related and interdependent, with data serving as the link between them. Currently, facing uncertainties in tariffs, global trade, and supply chains, the global economic landscape is gradually being reshaped. We often tell the aviation, logistics, and shipping industries that we must unite and have a pioneering spirit to seek breakthroughs in the face of major challenges. The financial center supports the development of logistics and freight, while the trading center depends on the operation of airports or container terminals to carry goods, so the three are indeed indispensable.
