CARRIE Lam will become the first Hong Kong Chief Executive to visit Singapore in almost a decade when she arrives in the city-state next week, and her choice of her first overseas destination since her inauguration highlights Singapore's role as a strategic partner, say analysts.
During her two-day visit, Mrs Lam is expected to study the Republic's innovative technology and land development policies, as well as look for opportunities to further develop economic ties between the two cities and within Asean.
