On Friday's Backchat, we found out more about the newly slashed quarantine time for cats and dogs coming from the mainland, amid calls by pet owners to ease travel restrictions.

What are the new arrangements and requirements? How will this affect efforts to reduce cross-boundary animal smuggling?

Separately, the Department of Health will soon roll out a Community Dental Support Program, offering emergency dental care to underprivileged groups in need of basic dental services. We spoke to an exert and exainmined the nooks and crannies of this initiative.

After the break, we looked at the recent visit of Latin American leaders to China, hosted by President Xi Jinping. Big announcements were made, including a massive new credit line that will be extended to Latin American nations to support development, and a new country joining the Belt and Road initiative.
