Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So attended a breakfast meeting hosted by the Mexican Business Council for Foreign Trade, Investment & Technology in Mexico City today.
Speaking at the meeting, he invited Mexican companies to make greater use of Hong Kong's unique advantages to tap business opportunities in Hong Kong and the "Belt & Road" countries.
He said that with the Mainland's "Belt & Road" initiatives there are new business and investment opportunities in Hong Kong for Mexican companies.
Hong Kong can serve as an excellent base to set up businesses and to tap into the markets of Asia and the Mainland, as it is strategically located on the doorstep of Mainland China and the ASEAN region, he added.
"Furthermore, Mexican technology companies are welcome to leverage on Hong Kong to enter Asia for market and research and development activities. We have multiple edges including a sound legal system and intellectual property institution, outstanding R&D talents, excellent infrastructure and communication networks."
