Secretary for Justice Paul Lam will depart for Malaysia tomorrow to attend the China Conference: Southeast Asia and relevant activities in Kuala Lumpur on February 17 and return to Hong Kong that same day.

At a fireside chat session of the conference, Mr Lam will share views on how Hong Kong, leveraging its unique advantages under "one country, two systems", plays its role as a "super connector" in fostering ties between the Mainland and various regions including Southeast Asia through its top-quality legal services.

During his absence, Deputy Secretary for Justice Cheung Kwok-kwan will be Acting Secretary.
