SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR SIR EDWARD YOUDE, GCMG, MBE, AT THE OPENING OF THE 56TH GENERAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING OF THE ROYAL AUSTRALASIAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS HELD ON 20 MARCH 1983
"HONG KONG THE CITY WHICH CARES"
Mr President, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to be present today at the 56th General Scientific Meeting of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. Hong Kong is indeed honoured to have been chosen to play host to such a
distinguished group of delegates and overseas visitors, and I welcome
you all.
I hope this meeting will provide an opportunity for you to establish closer ties among fellow surgeons and anaesthetiste throughout the Western Pacific and South East Asia region, and also to get to know
more about our city.
Many of you will have come to Hong Kong for the first time.
No doubt your concept of it has been conditioned by programmes you have
seen on television, and by what you have read in newspapers about us.
You may well have a picture of a crowded city largely composed of
skyscrapers filled with people whose only interest is in making money.
We do indeed take pride in the enterprise and hard work of our business
community and our labour force who have between them transformed Hong
Kong from a modest port and trading centre into an international olty
in its own right. Hong Kong is now a major manufacturer, a leading
financial centre and, to show that we have not forgotten our origina,
has one of the largest container terminals in the world.
