Hong Kong’s M+ museum has signed an agreement with the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York to collaborate in several areas in the first such deal between the famed US institution and an Asian counterpart, which comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

Separately, the visual arts museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District said on Wednesday it would hold a special exhibition showcasing more than 200 works by renowned Chinese-French abstract painter Zao Wou-Ki in December.
