It is my great honour to be appointed as the Chairman of the Antiquities Advisory Board for the term 2025 to 2026.

Heritage transcends time and bears witness to the development of our society. It reflects our past, enriches our present and shapes our future through the unique culture, traditions and narratives it encompasses. Through the legacy of our built and archaeological heritage, we connect with our ancestors and cultivate a sense of belonging and continuity that sustains us even in times of rapid changes and adversity.

Building upon the solid foundation laid by past chairmen and members, whose professionalism, wisdom and openness have been invaluable, the Board looks forward to strengthening our partnership with the Government, stakeholders and the public. Together, we will champion our rich cultural assets, enhancing the allure of our beloved home city for people from all walks of life and corners of the globe.

We welcome your insight and suggestions on heritage conservation in Hong Kong. Together, let us elevate our heritage conservation efforts to new heights, ensuring that the treasures of our past are cherished and appreciated by all.
