Hong Kong's leader on Tuesday defended its foreign trade offices and said he had little recollection of a man accused by Britain of spying for the Chinese city, after a photograph emerged seeming to show the two together.

British authorities charged three men on Monday with foreign interference and assisting Hong Kong's intelligence service, under the UK's 2023 National Security Act.
