HKTE participates in two job fairs offering over 11 500 job vacancies
Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) will participate in two job fairs to assist incoming talent in directly matching jobs with employers, facilitating their career development in the city. About 500 companies will take part in these job fairs, offering over 11 500 job vacancies.
To dovetail with national development strategies, "The Chief Executive's 2024 Policy Address" includes a specific chapter on building Hong Kong into an international hub for high-calibre talent with an aim to empower the high-quality development of Hong Kong as well as contribute to the development of new quality productive forces of the country. To this end, HKTE will support talent in pursuing development in Hong Kong by expanding its network of collaborative partners and co-organising job fairs with industries and employer organisations.
HKTE is participating in the Innovating Hong Kong - Global Talent Carnival Autumn 2024 at the AsiaWorld-Expo today and tomorrow (November 2 and 3). The event offers over 10 000 job vacancies for local and incoming talent, covering positions in technical support, business development, customer service, and graduate trainee roles.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the event, the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, reaffirmed the Government's commitment to assisting talent in pursuing development in Hong Kong. He said that both local and incoming talent will help enrich the city's talent pool, spur industrial development, and inject impetus for the long-term development of Hong Kong.
HKTE has established a sharing station at the event to invite industry experts to advise on job-seeking strategies and provide consultation services to help incoming talent integrate into the local community.
In addition, HKTE will participate in the Hong Kong Talent Recruitment Exhibition 2024 Autumn at Tsim Sha Tsui Community Hall next Friday (November 8). Participating companies are from various sectors, including real estate development, telecommunications, public utilities, and financial services, with an expected offer of over 1 500 job vacancies.
HKTE will continue to collaborate with industry partners, stakeholders, and government departments to provide comprehensive one-stop support services for talent, including co-organising at least 12 job fairs with the industries and employer organisations in 2025.

HKSARG responds to reauthorization of the so-called Sanctions Provisions under HKHRDA incorporated in National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government today (December 26) strongly disapproves of and firmly rejects US' reauthorization of the so-called Sanctions Provisions under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act (HKHRDA) incorporated in National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025.
A spokesman for the Government said, "In accordance with international law and international practice based on the Charter of the United Nations, it is each and every sovereign state's inherent right to enact laws safeguarding national security, and it is also an international practice. With at least 21 pieces of laws safeguarding national security, the US has exposed its double standards by pointing the finger at the HKSAR's legal system and enforcement mechanism to safeguard national security."
"The Hong Kong National Security Law (NSL) and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (SNSO) also clearly stipulate that human rights shall be respected and protected in safeguarding national security in the HKSAR. The offences endangering national security stipulated by the related Ordinance target acts endangering national security with precision, and define the elements and penalties of the offences with clarity, aiming at addressing, combating, deterring and preventing acts and activities of endangering national security. It targets only an extremely small minority of people without affecting the basic rights and freedoms lawfully enjoyed by Hong Kong residents."
He said, "The US openly clamour for so-called 'sanctions' with an aim to intimidate HKSAR officials who resolutely safeguard national security. The HKSAR Government strongly condemns its political grandstanding rife with ill intentions, which have been seen through by all. The HKSAR despises the so-called 'sanctions' and will not be intimidated by such a despicable behaviour. The HKSAR will resolutely continue to discharge the duty of safeguarding national security."
The HKSAR Government has been enforcing the sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) fully and vigorously to fulfil our international obligations. We have long been maintaining an effective mechanism for implementing the resolutions of the UNSC. That includes denying entry of vessels designated by the UNSC as well as suspicious vessels, keeping a close watch on and inspecting suspicious Hong Kong-based companies to prevent them from participating in activities evading UNSC sanctions. At the same time, the HKSAR Government has been implementing a comprehensive and robust control regime over the import and export of strategic commodities and maintaining active participation in the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Arms Trade Treaty through the Central People's Government. The effectiveness of our work has been well respected and recognised by our trading partners and internationally.
The US has substantial economic interest in Hong Kong. Over the past decade, it registered a trade surplus of about US$270 billion with Hong Kong. Currently, some 1 390 US companies operate in Hong Kong. If the US insists on its acts, it will ultimately undermine the mutually beneficial relations between Hong Kong and the US, harming the interests of the US and its companies.
The spokesman reiterated that foreign governments and legislatures should not interfere in any form in the internal affairs of the HKSAR.
