In addition to numerous conferences, seminars and public lectures organized by individual departments and faculties, we hosted distinguished lectures by four Nobel Laureates and three awardees of the prestigious Shaw Prize. The University also received prominent public figures and statesmen including the Consul-Generals of France, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Saudi Arabia. In September 2006, the Honourable Donald Tsang, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, addressed a full hall of 1,500 on his vision of governance and leadership. Other distinguished speakers included the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in Hong Kong, the Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the President of China Construction Bank, the Chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, and scholars from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Development Research Center of the State Council. During the year, I led delegations to universities and government authorities in Australia, Japan, Denmark, Singapore, the UK, the US and major cities such as Beijing and Zürich. These visits to existing and potential partners helped to deepen mutual understanding and foster collaborative efforts. In the same period, CUHK received a total of 288 delegations from mainland China and other parts of the world, the majority of which were led by presidents, top officials and chief officers of the respective institutions. As a result, 96 memoranda of understanding and collaborative agreements were renewed or entered into, covering a wide range of student/faculty exchange, joint research and other collaborative initiatives. 中國建設銀行行長張建國先生 Mr. Zhang Jianguo, President of China Construction Bank
