Chief Executive CY Leung started his three-day visit to India today in Mumbai.
During a briefing on the Indian finance market hosted by a major local enterprise, Mr Leung said relations on all fronts between Hong Kong and India have been doing well.
He noted that bilateral trade grew by an average of 7% each year between 2010 and 2014, and by 12% in 2014, adding that Hong Kong acts as a platform for Mainland Chinese investment in India.
He said leveraging on the combined benefits of the "one country, two systems" arrangement, Hong Kong can serve as a super-connector between India, the Mainland and the rest of the world.
Mr Leung will attend a business luncheon hosted by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry later today.
