At the graduation ceremony in Hong Kong, Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Properties, Mr. Andy Ho, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups ("HKFYG"), and Guest of Honor, Ms. Louise Ho Pui Shan, CDSM, CMSM, Commissioner of the Customs and Excise, along with program mentors witnessed the culmination of the program that saw these female university students prepared for future leadership roles by participation in training, mentorship, and a practical sustainable community project. Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Properties, said, "I am glad to see the students of the nationwide 'Hang Lung Future Women Leaders Program' demonstrate their potential as future leaders. Today's graduation ceremony is not the end, it's just the beginning of the journey. As part of Hang Lung's sustainability commitment, I firmly believe in the spirit of giving full play to one's talents and building a society that values diversity and inclusion as advocated by the Future Women Leaders Program. This spirit will be widely promoted as the students continue to exercise their leadership and influence in their careers, leading to a more sustainable future for the motherland and Hong Kong." Mr. Andy Ho, Executive Director of The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, was effusive in his congratulations. "I have been so impressed by the enthusiastic contribution of the participants and their keen desire to realize diversity and inclusivity. To focus on the talent and potential of women, and serving the community; and to do so with a global perspective – this is how a better future can be made." Mr.Ho went on to thank Hang Lung Properties for spearheading the program. "We are grateful to all the mentors and volunteers for their participation, which resulted in seminars in Shanghai and Hong Kong, but which also supported these young women in planning and implementing a number of sustainable community projects. All these opportunities allowed them to accumulate valuable experience and skills, and fostered engagement and cooperation with the community."

Ms. Ho encouraged young people to keep an open mind and show their talents in the Greater Bay Area so as to become pillars who contribute to the country, serve Hong Kong and open to the world.
