The Government announced today (October 31) that the Chief Executive has made appointments and a reappointment to the Civil Service Training Advisory Board (CSTAB). The appointments of members will be effective from November 1, 2026.

Welcoming the new appointments and the reappointment, the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, said, "This year, Hong Kong formulated its First Five-Year Plan, which states that the Government will further improve the civil service training management system to enhance public governance capabilities. In the 2026 Policy Address Supplement, the Chief Executive also put forward various initiatives to strengthen civil service training in support of the implementation of the Five-Year Plan. With Professor Wong's capable leadership and members' wealth of experience in various fields, I have full confidence that the CSTAB will continue to offer diverse perspectives and strategic advice on civil service training and development, providing strong support to the Government in enhancing its governance capabilities."
