One hundred Hong Kong volunteers will start working at the Expo site in early July.
Volunteer representatives received a flag from Henry Tang Ying-yen, chief secretary for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Xu Weiguo, deputy Party secretary of the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, at Monday's inauguration ceremony for Hong Kong volunteers in HK's Youth Square.
Forty of the volunteers had served either the Beijing Olympic Games or East Asian Games. They attended a training course following the ceremony.
Also launched at the ceremony was the universities experience tour. A group of 600 university students from Hong Kong will go to Shanghai from July 4 to 8 to attend the Youth Week of Expo 2010 and have exchanges with volunteers from mainland universities.
