PRESS, BROADCASTING AND CINEMA

The exhibition section continued planning and preparing through- out 1969 for Hong Kong's Pavilion at Expo '70. By the end of the year, the pavilion was completed and most of the interiors installed. Staff had been chosen and detailed briefing on their duties had commenced.

Government participation in the Annual CMA Exhibition which opened on November 28 was again organised by the exhibition section. The pavilion aimed to show in broad terms what Govern- ment does for the benefit of the community at large.

The information section of the Hong Kong Government Office in London works in close collaboration with the Government Information Services. Press relations form an important part of the work, and releases for the British press are prepared from in- formation bulletins sent daily from Hong Kong. The information section also acts as a distributing agency in Britain for photo- features prepared by the Government Information Services and these, together with press releases, play a major role in informing the British public about Hong Kong and its achievements through the medium of newspapers and magazines.
