Training of the same kind has been held for the fourth time. This year, in addition to incorporating penetration testing to the two-day hands-on cyber attack and defence training, which allowed participants from various organisations to exchanges ideas, a one-day competition event was also held for the first time to provide a platform for industry and academic elites to practise the skills they have learnt, and to utilise their knowledge of cyber attack and defence by participating in both online and physical competitions and testing their capabilities to respond to cyber incidents.

The Commissioner for Digital Policy, Mr Tony Wong, noted that the newly-established DPO will keep implementing different policies and measures to enhance the cyber defence capacity of government personnel, hoping that the industry will work together with the Government to enhance the barriers on digital security and contribute to the development of Hong Kong’s digital economy.

The Chief Superintendent of the CSTCB, Mr Lam Cheuk-ho, stated that cyber attacks were on the rise, and once the critical infrastructures were under attack, leakage of sensitive data and serious disruption on the normal operation of society might occur. Therefore, the capabilities of cyber security personnel and managers to respond to attacks, as well as the cyber security levels of their organisations were particularly important.

The Chief Executive Officer of the HKIRC, Mr Wong Ka-wai, also pointed out that cultivating cyber security talents was crucial to Hong Kong’s digital future. He hoped that the tournament would help identify promising young talents, allowing them to engage with top industry experts and enhance their professionalism.

The event provided cyber attack and defence training for a total of 160 personnel from more than 70 organisations, and attracted over 300 teams, comprising 740 industry and academic elites, to participate in the tournament.

The organisers believed that the active participation of stakeholders could enhance the cyber security level in Hong Kong and strengthen collaboration among various stakeholders.

Hong Kong Customs celebrates International Customs Day 2025

Officiated by Deputy Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Mr Pan Yundong and the Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Mr Chan Tsz-tat, a reception in celebration of International Customs Day (ICD) 2025 was held by Hong Kong Customs at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre today (January 21).

The World Customs Organization (WCO) set the theme of this year's ICD as "Customs Delivering on its Commitment to Efficiency, Security and Prosperity", highlighting the crucial and diverse roles of Customs in streamlining customs clearance procedures, safeguarding society safety, and fostering economic growth.

The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, delivered a pre-recorded speech to express his appreciation for the unwavering dedication of Hong Kong Customs in shaping Hong Kong into a world city and trade hub. He emphasised that under the "one country, two systems" principle, Hong Kong enjoys both the China advantage and the global advantage. He expressed his confidence that Hong Kong Customs will continue to promote international co-operation and enhance Hong Kong's roles as a "super connector" and "super value-adder" between the Mainland and the world.

In his speech, Mr Chan elaborated on the diverse responsibilities of Hong Kong Customs in streamlining clearance procedures, facilitating trade and ensuring the well-being and safety of society. He also highlighted the significance of Hong Kong Customs' role as the Vice-Chairperson for the Asia/Pacific region of the WCO, underscoring Hong Kong's proactive and leading role in global customs affairs. Mr Chan said that Hong Kong Customs would continue to tell good stories of Hong Kong to a worldwide audience, and will remain committed to contributing to the overall development of the country and the Chinese modernisation process.

Hong Kong Customs became a member of the WCO in 1987, and ICD has become an annual event of Hong Kong Customs ever since. At the celebration reception, Mr Pan presented WCO Certificates of Merit to Hong Kong Customs' officers and business stakeholders in recognition of their remarkable contributions to various customs affairs pertinent to the theme of ICD.

Over 300 guests, including officials of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, representatives of various offices of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong and Customs administrations of the Mainland and Macao, Consuls-General, foreign Customs attachés, as well as private stakeholders, attended the reception.
