Hong Kong’s leader will travel to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam later this month to promote the city and explore new business opportunities, making his third visit to Southeast Asia since he took office and his first trip overseas in a year.
Lee said he would lead a delegation comprising leaders in commerce, finance, transport, logistics, law and the creative industries to promote Hong Kong on his coming trip.
“We will introduce the latest developments in Hong Kong to the political and business circles of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, especially Hong Kong’s advantages and the opportunities, economic and trade ties and extensive business opportunities it can bring to Asean,” he said.
“[We will] explore business opportunities, establish broader contacts and networks, and forge and develop new fields and opportunities.”
