Professor
Kennedy Gastorn
The Secretary-General of AALCO

The decision by China and AALCO to establish the AALCO Hong Kong Regional Arbitration Centre is of great significance. It will help expand the influence of AALCO, enhance regional cooperation, build Hong Kong into a centre for international legal and dispute resolution in the Asia-Pacific region, and promote the HKSAR’s development.
Adding to the five existing regional arbitration centres of the AALCO, the regional arbitration centre in Hong Kong will seek to integrate itself in the AALCO dispute settlement system and perform a variety of tasks, including providing facilities for alternative dispute resolution services and assisting in the enforcement of arbitration awards, and to also promote the growth and effective functioning of arbitration and other dispute resolution services, including online dispute resolution services.
I am confident that this newly established AALCO Hong Kong Regional Arbitration Centre will further advance the growth of ODR in the region and beyond.

Professor Zhao Yun
Head of Department of Law, HKU

The establishment of the AALCO Hong Kong Regional Arbitration Centre marked a major milestone in the development and promotion of Hong Kong as an international legal and dispute resolution services hub. The centre will strengthen Hong Kong’s role as an arbitration hub, provide more convenient and efficient dispute resolution services for parties in Asia and African regions. Having an abundant of legal and dispute resolution talents as well as a mature and robust legal system and legal infrastructure, I am confident that the HKSAR has all the components to bring out the best in the new regional arbitration centre.

National security is highly regarded in China, and there is the concept known as “holistic approach to national security”. The National Security Law in Hong Kong deals with national security in four aspects, including secession, subversion, collusion to endanger national security and terrorist activities. The National Security Law oversees these four issues pertaining to national security.

陳弘毅教授 SBS, JP

“One country, two systems” of course includes the principles of “one country” and “two systems”. On the principle of “one country”, there needs to be a bottom line in law, and the National Security Law can be construed as one of those legal bottom lines.

香港國安法發揮了「一法安香江」的重大成效。它有效阻遏了外部勢力、勾結反中亂港份子、干涉香港事務、危害國家安全。香港國安法是「一國兩制」行穩致遠的安全法，是香港長期繁榮穏定的守護神。

中華人民共和國外交部駐香港特別行政區特派員公署特派員
劉光源先生

支持香港國安法就是守護香港的獨特地位和成功優勢，就是擁抱香港發展的重大機遇。隨著香港國安法的順利實施和特區選舉制度的完善，香港必將迎來更加燦爛美好的明天。

中國人民政治協商會議全國委員會副主席，梁振英GBM GBS JP

香港國安法是必要的、重要的及是一個新的法律。它是必要的，因為世界上每一個社會都有保障其國家安全的法律。

Norman Chan GBS
Former Chief Executive of Hong Kong Monetary Authority

Hong Kong is the only common law jurisdiction in the whole world that practices truly bilingual laws in English and Chinese. To me, this is a unique advantage for Hong Kong to intermediate commercial and financial businesses to and from mainland China.

Merlin Swire
Chairman of Swire Pacific Limited

Hong Kong is perfectly positioned to be the connector between the rest of the world and the Greater Bay Area which is the most sophisticated part of the Chinese economy.

Dr. Victor Fung GBM GBS Chairman of Fung Group and 2022 Foundation

The Greater Bay Area is spearheading China’s further global economic integration, especially into the world’s largest single market embedded in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Hong Kong is the global business platform for these increasing trade and investment flows. The window of opportunity is opening wider for Hong Kong and international companies based here.

香港終審法院非常任法官、英國前最高法院法官岑耀信勳爵

香港的常設司法機構完全致力於司法獨立和法治。香港的歷任首席法官都曾在公開聲明中明確表示這一點。這些聲明並非只是口頭上說說而已，是代表了經驗豐富、有勇氣和有獨立思想的法官的信念。

終審法院非常任法官廖柏嘉勳爵（前英國最高法院院長、曾處理英國脫歐案）

目前我並無發現（香港的）司法獨立有受任何破壞。如果我覺得香港司法機構的獨立性質被破壞，我即使不講出來，也會辭去法官一職。

終審法院非常任法官、加拿大前首席法官麥嘉琳

來自英格蘭、澳洲或加拿大的法官會在法庭上簽字確認判決，以加強公眾對（香港）司法制度和判決的信心。

香港孖士打律師行合伙人蘇紹聰博士，JP

香港作為國際法律樞紐將積極加強業界能力，利用現代科技提供法律和爭議解決服務，我們聽到都感到很鼓舞。

終審法院非常任法官、加拿大前首席法官麥嘉琳

（香港的）法庭是非常獨立的，而法官的質素亦很高。因此，我認為他們不需要別人告知該怎麼做，那不是他們的角色所在。

史密夫斐爾律師事務所行政總裁歐智樂

無論是在塑造業界未來的新數碼法律技術方面，或是在建立香港成為爭議解決中心的長遠實力上，『香港法律雲端』均是一項別具價值的投資。

國際檢察官協會(參議會)副主席江樂士資深大律師，SBS，QC

由律政司推動的『願景2030—聚焦法治』十年計劃，將透過與不同持份者合作，教育年輕人有關法治的觀念，並增強他們的守法意識。我深信該項計劃將加深社會對法治的理解及實踐。

安勝恪道（香港）有限法律責任合夥律師行亞洲爭議解決部主管岑君毅律師

我支持律政司與時並進，把握科技的發展，提升香港作為法律、促成交易及爭議解決服務的國際法律樞紐的地位。

Paul Starr
Partner and Practice Leader HK DR/Infrastructure Joint Coordinator International Arbitration Team King & Wood Mallesons

On infrastructure projects, parties should also consider expressly nominating Hong Kong law, both as the contract’s governing law and separately of its arbitration agreement. They will save them time and cost, in not having to produce independent expert reports on foreign laws and subjecting those experts to cross-examination. More significantly, Hong Kong law has developed cutting-edge answers to many of the construction industry’s conundra over, for example; the occurrence of defects; giving of contractual notices; parties’ specific intent overriding the document precedence clause; the relationship of project completion to outstanding work; record-keeping.

Paul Starr
Partner and Practice Leader HK DR/Infrastructure Joint Coordinator International Arbitration Team King & Wood Mallesons

Drafting Hong Kong arbitration clauses offers parties contracting with PRC entities anywhere in the world unique protections, not available if other jurisdictions are selected. Foremost is asset protection/freezing in the PRC, available only where parties have pre-nominated Hong Kong arbitration by one of the qualifying institutions . Gone are the days, therefore, where Belt and Road countries should tell their citizens “ let investors arbitrate here”. That asset protection is thereby lost.

Andrew Weir MBE JP, Global Chairman Asset Management and Hong Kong Senior Partner, KPMG

The recent introduction of Limited Partnership funds, Unified Funds Exemption and Tax Concession for carried interest strongly support the further development of Hong Kong as a leading Private Equity and Fund hub attractive to global, regional and domestic player.

Look Chan Ho, Barrister, Des Voeux Chambers

The recent cross-border insolvency arrangement between Hong Kong and the Mainland shows the great advantage of one country two systems, and it reflects the importance of Hong Kong as an international financial centre and an international restructuring hub.
