Leung Chun-ying, who started a five-year term as chief executive in 2012, said on Wednesday Hong Kong would play a significant role in promoting the new "silk road" spreading from Western China to Central Asia and Europe. "Hong Kong is well-positioned to capture the wealth of the Belt and Road," Leung said.
