Mr Cheung said: “It is my great honour and privilege to be re-elected to serve for another term of office. Apart from posing a major challenge to insurers and the global investment market, the COVID-19 pandemic also demonstrated clearly the imperative to step up our efforts in strengthening mutual support and reinforcement.”
Established since 2006, AFIR is a multilateral platform designed to facilitate information exchange, knowledge dissemination and capacity building among insurance regulators in the Asia and Pacific region.
Member jurisdictions which attended the meeting are Afghanistan, Astana International Financial Centre, Australia, China, Chinese Taipei, Dubai International Financial Centre, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Macao, Malaysia, Maldives, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
