Get Ready for a Game-Changer!

The highly anticipated 10th Belt and Road Summit is back and set to take place on September 10-11, 2025, at the iconic Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Jointly organized by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, this year’s theme, "Collaborate for Change, Shape a Shared Future," is poised to attract over 90 key officials and business leaders from 18 Belt and Road nations!

A Decade of Growth and Collaboration

Celebrating ten transformative years, the Summit aims to further solidify its status as a pivotal platform for policy dialogue and business partnerships among Belt and Road economies. From humble beginnings, over 700 distinguished speakers from more than 30 countries have shared their insights, showcasing diverse exhibitors and drawing in over 45,000 participants from around the globe. With more than 5,400 business matching meetings and supporting over 2,000 projects, this Summit has truly revolutionized international cooperation.

Hong Kong: The Heart of Belt and Road Initiatives

Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commercial and Economic Development, heralds this initiative as a beacon of innovation, revealing that Hong Kong’s merchandise trade with Belt and Road participants has surged nearly 80%! This growth starkly outpaces the city's overall external trade growth, reaching an impressive $280 billion, further establishing Hong Kong as a global trade nexus.

Exciting New Sessions and Opportunities Await!

This year, the Summit promises fresh elements, including sessions on signature projects, market spotlights, and a focus on sustainable development. Young business leaders will have unique opportunities to engage and network. Beyond the Summit, Hong Kong citizens will be invited to partake in a range of diverse activities, from cultural exhibitions to film festivals, embodying the spirit of global collaboration.

Exploring New Frontiers in Trade

With a strong focus on the Middle East and ASEAN markets, the Summit will host two critical business plenaries. Notably, a recent delegation led by John Lee made significant strides in Qatar and Kuwait, laying the groundwork for landmark collaborations, including a factory development partnership between Dongchao Information Technology and Qatari firms.

The Future Is Bright: Engage and Innovate!

Throughout the Summit, thematic breakout sessions will dive deep into finance, youth engagement, and innovation—arms that are crucial for driving the Belt and Road vision forward. Attendees will glean insights from leading figures in the global economy, partake in project investment sessions, and witness an exhibition showcasing pioneering initiatives across multiple sectors.
