The Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, attended Hong Kong Arbor Day 2026 today and delivered a speech. Cheung Kin-chung stated that Arbor Day every year is not only a major event for the public to participate in green construction, but also a concrete action practice for Hong Kong to actively respond to the country's promotion of green development. Cheung Kin-chung introduced that the SAR Government has been vigorously promoting green and low-carbon living through various policies, including continuously optimizing the popular "Green Community" recycling network and launching a fast-charging station incentive program.
