Financial Secretary John Tsang has started his Europe trip in Paris, attending trade promotion activities and meeting with political and business leaders to strengthen economic and trade ties between Hong Kong and France.

 

Soon after his arrival in the French capital yesterday, Mr Tsang attended a symposium organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

 

Speaking at the forum, the finance chief highlighted Hong Kong's importance as Asia's business city and its role as a natural springboard to the region's buoyant markets. He encouraged more French companies to capitalise on Asian business opportunities and explore the market through Hong Kong.

 

Mr Tsang then attended a lunch hosted by France's Minister of Finance & Public Accounts Michel Sapin. They exchanged views on the global economic situation and agreed to strengthen financial collaboration between Hong Kong and France.

 

Mr Tsang also called on the Chinese Ambassador to France Zhai Jun, which was followed by a meeting with the Banque de France Governor Christian Noyer on renminbi trade and investment.


The Financial Secretary later attended a dinner hosted by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and shared with local business and political leaders Hong Kong's leisure activities and pastimes.


Mr Tsang met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs & International Development of France Laurent Fabius this morning. Both sides expressed the wish to consolidate bilateral trade.


Having concluded the first leg of his visit in Paris, Mr Tsang left for Milan in the afternoon and will stay there for a day. London is the last stop of his three-day European visit.
