Chief Executive John Lee today received over 400 senior representatives from Mainland and foreign companies at an Invest Hong Kong reception, thanking them for their lasting confidence in Hong Kong's business environment.
Mr Lee also urged them to continue using the city's global advantage to expand their business worldwide.
The guests from various sectors attending the reception had been assisted by InvestHK over the past three years in setting up business in the city.
The Chief Executive pointed out that under the "one country, two systems" principle, Hong Kong has the distinctive advantages of the motherland’s strong support and close connections with the world, adding that Hong Kong is indeed the only city in the world that converges both China and global advantages.
He also noted that with the full support of the central government as well as the plentiful opportunities under national strategies such as the National 14th Five-Year Plan, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area development and the Belt & Road Initiative, Hong Kong is the best place for investors to start and expand their business operations.
Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Algernon Yau also attended the event and joined Mr Lee to raise a toast to the guests.
Acting Director-General of Investment Promotion Jimmy Chiang said in his welcome remarks that InvestHK helps businesses grow by capturing new and emerging opportunities.
“We are both working in close collaboration across the Government and with key partners as well as having aligned our team with our Government's policy priorities. This is all to enable us to help you achieve even more.”
