The local police are meeting with someone at the American Consulate in order to plan their excursion into Burma to capture the renegade general (Wang Lung-wei). Quite why normal HK cops are allowed to put together a team of jungle-hardened commandos to do an extra-judicial mission is quite beyond me, but this is 90s HK action films so the plot doesn't have to be believable.
This shot shows the consulate prior to it having a significant facelift (and security enhancement). I think by the time I first visited Hong Kong in 1995 the consulate was already looking like the concrete bunker of its current form, so I guess the renovation happened sometime between 91 and 95.
