Carrie Lam visits France

June 17, 2018

Chief Executive Carrie Lam began her visit to France in Bordeaux yesterday.

 

Mrs Lam visited Chateau Latour, which is more than 600 years old, to learn about the wine-making process and later toured La Cite du Vin, a cultural facility which offers visitors a unique presentation on wine in different ages, cultures and places around the world.

 

She witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Hong Kong Tourism Board and the Convention & Tourism Office of Bordeaux Metropole on strengthening collaboration in wine and food tourism promotion between the two places.

 

Mrs Lam later attended a cocktail reception organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, which was held on a sailing ship decorated with the Hong Kong brand on the Bordeaux river bank, to celebrate the friendship between the two cities.

 

She said fine wine and food tourism promotions in Hong Kong have been well received by tourists and locals. Mrs Lam also hoped the two cities will keep a close relationship.
