He stressed that the study tour was made possible with the continuous care, guidance and arrangement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and competent authorities, as well as the wholehearted dedication and full support of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. He encouraged the students to seize the opportunity to acquire knowledge, broaden their horizons and set high aspirations, turning what they see, hear and feel into motivation for growth, so as to make greater contributions to the country in the future.

Chairman Liao thanked the Office of the Commissioner for its long-term trust and support. He stated that the study tour marked the beginning of a bond and friendship, and represented the warmest achievement and most precious harvest in the long-term cooperation between the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Office of the Commissioner.
