Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Rita Lau will open an investment promotion seminar in Guangzhou tomorrow to promote Hong Kong's advantages as a platform for Mainland enterprises to establish an international presence.

The seminar is part of Invest Hong Kong's three-year nationwide marketing campaign 'On Your Marks, Get-set, Go!' to attract Mainland enterprises to invest in the city. The Guangdong programme is the sixth of the series after events held in Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Jiangsu and Sichuan since the campaign's launch in 2007.

Mrs Lau will participate in other activities and exchange views with Guangdong officials responsible for trade and investment. She will return to Hong Kong that evening.
