Chief Executive John Lee emphasised Hong Kong's role as a safe haven for investors amid the Middle East conflict.
Addressing concerns about the city's energy supply, he said the government is stepping up efforts to maintain a steady flow of oil.
Chief Executive JOHN LEE: "The conflict in the Middle East actually highlights the strengths of Hong Kong, and also I think it will create new opportunities for us. Because while development is an important consideration when investment is considered, what is even more important is stability, security and also in the long term, a market we'll create for investors. Hong Kong is a showcase to the world that under One Country, Two Systems, Hong Kong will be very safe. In regards to the supply of oil, because of the disruption to the supply, oil prices have gone up. We will of course take action to try to mitigate the risks. So what the government is working on, is first of all, ensuring that there will be a stable energy supply and we also want to ensure that transparency of information relating to supply and energy prices will be enhanced."
