Tabling ideas:  Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So speaks at a breakfast roundtable at Chatham House in London.

Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So has underlined Hong Kong's unique role in helping UK businesses to capitalise on the wealth of opportunities emerging from the Belt & Road Initiative.

 

Speaking at a breakfast roundtable at Chatham House in London today, Mr So said the Belt & Road proposes co-operation in many aspects, but fundamentally it is about making connections.

 

"I am proud to say that facilitating connections is what Hong Kong is good at. This is how we see Hong Kong will contribute to, and benefit from, the Belt & Road blueprint."

 

Hong Kong has always been a preferred venue for hosting regional headquarters or trading offices for multinational companies to manage their businesses in the Asia-Pacific region.

 

Mr So invited British companies to come to Hong Kong and make full use of its advantages in tapping the massive Belt & Road markets.

 

Yesterday Mr So attended a lunch meeting with representatives of the UK Chapter of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers to discuss the potential opportunities for Hong Kong's professional services presented by the Belt & Road.

 

Mr So then met with Hong Kong students and young professionals in London to update them on the latest developments in Hong Kong, particularly in the creative industries and start-up sectors.

 

He also paid a visit to the Victoria & Albert Museum, and watched a training session for the 2016 London Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival and talked to participants from the Hong Kong community.
