Belt and Road Summit

The event was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Sept. 10-11, 2025.

In addition to this, the event was attended by the global leaders, policymakers and industry professionals to discuss insights and explore business opportunities.

In a panel discussion, Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam explored various agendas, such as “Business Plenary II – Exploring Frontiers in New Markets and Industries”. The session included discussions on emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, fintech and sustainable development, which are set to reshape the economies around the Belt and Road. Moreover, the session also focused on the role of Hong Kong as a strategic hub for collaborations in navigating new opportunities.

Cathay Pacific: Insights of the Summit

During the session at the Belt and Road Summit, Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam asserted how important the Chinese Mainland and Belt and Road destinations are for the connectivity of the region for the people, cargo and trade.

While speaking about the growing demand for connectivity in the Middle East, Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam said,

“I have been surprised by how many Hong Kong businesses regularly travel between Hong Kong and the Middle East. I remember back in 2023, when Hong Kong had just emerged from the pandemic, I joined a delegation to the Middle East led by the Hong Kong SAR Government and was struck by the strong growth potential in the region.

In October last year, Cathay Pacific launched direct flights between Hong Kong and Riyadh. To our pleasant surprise, demand was much stronger than expected, particularly between the Chinese Mainland and Riyadh via the Hong Kong hub. As a result, we increased our frequency from three to four return flights per week, and I’m pleased to share that starting next month, we will be operating daily flights to Riyadh.”

Cathay Group remains committed to spanning its network along the Belt and Road.
