MEXICO'S entrepreneurs have founded Latin America's only business association in Hong Kong.
The Mexican Business Association of Hong Kong (MEXBA) was incorporated with 20 members earlier this year.
Membership has swelled to 50 and MEXBA was last month admitted to Hong Kong's International Business Committee, the top-level forum chaired by Chief Secretary Anson Chan.
'The founding of this organisation is one of my proudest achievements,' said Mexico's Consul General, Agustin Canet.
'About a year ago, I noticed that many representatives of Mexican companies in Hong Kong did not even know each other.' He invited some of the more prominent executives to his home for dinner and suggested they form the association.
'It is still a young group,' said Mr Canet who is MEXBA's honorary president.
