HONG KONG, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government announced Friday that Patrick Li Pak-chuen will take up the post of Director of Broadcasting on March 1, 2021 vice Leung Ka-wing who will leave the service.

Secretary for the Civil Service of the HKSAR government Patrick Nip said that Li was a seasoned Administrative Officer with proven leadership and management skills. "I believe that he will continue to serve the community with professionalism and dedication in his new capacity, and ably lead the Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) to meet the challenges ahead."

As Director of Broadcasting, Li will ensure that RTHK fully abides by the Charter of RTHK, Nip added.

Li joined the Administrative Service in August 1990 and has served in various bureaux and departments.

The HKSAR government Friday also released the Governance & Management of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) Review Report and outlined the major findings and recommendations on improvement measures.

The review seeks to ensure that RTHK, as both a public service broadcaster and a government department under the Charter of RTHK, fully achieves its public purposes and mission, and complies with all applicable government rules and regulations. Enditem
