Quality is an indispensable element in today's businesses.
Worldwide, customers' expectations and demands for quality continue to rise. Continuous quality improvement is essential for companies to survive and remain competitive.
The Hong Kong Government Industry Department is firmly committed to promoting and facilitating the pursuit of quality by Hong Kong companies.
Quality Month '97 is part of this effort, being the annual highlight of the Industry Department's ongoing Quality Promotion Programme.
I congratulate and thank all the organisations who have been involved with the arrangements for Quality Month '97.
I am confident that, with the attainment of high quality in our products and services, Hong Kong will continue to prosper in the years ahead.
