Invest Hong Kong hosted a seminar in Kunming today to encourage Yunnan enterprises to use Hong Kong as a platform to promote their brands and expand globally.
Speaking at the seminar, Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Francis Ho said Yunnan and Hong Kong have had close economic ties with frequent contact over many years.
He said the country encourages companies to go global under the National 12th Five-Year Plan, so the internationalisation of Yunnan enterprises is inevitable.
"Hong Kong is known for having a business-friendly environment, free flows of capital and information, free trade and a free market economy, a deep pool of international talent, world-class infrastructure, and a sound and independent legal system, as well as a low and stable tax regime. Against this backdrop, it serves as an ideal testing ground for Mainland companies to go global."
