Dear members / colleagues,
At a time when the rows over universal suffrage and the pan-democrats’ plan to hold mass resignations dominate the political agenda, who will be a better person for journalists to engage in close-quarter dialogue other than Chief Secretary Hon Henry Tang Ying-yen, who is spearheading the government consultation on constitutional reform?
The Hong Kong Journalists Association is offering this opportunity for fellow journalists and journalism students to meet Henry Tang, who will give a speech and take questions over an informal lunch – the first session in our series of luncheon talks to be held regularly with leading speakers from the political, business and cultural circles in coming months.
