China remains a secure investment destination despite recent geopolitical tensions, Beijing’s foreign ministry arm in Hong Kong has told diplomats and business chambers at a high-profile meeting, while highlighting the city’s strategic role in building international ties.
Cui Jianchun, commissioner of the foreign ministry’s office in Hong Kong, on Wednesday met about 60 envoys, commerce chamber representatives and members of the global media for a one-hour sharing session on the Communist Party’s fourth plenum.
This is the first time the commissioner has held a briefing on the fourth plenum for foreign envoys, business leaders and the media.
The fourth plenum concluded on October 23, with the core agenda centring around formulating a blueprint for the country’s 15th five-year plan, which will guide national development from 2026 to 2030.
Cui said the session in Hong Kong aimed to enhance foreign consuls and businesses’ understanding of the five-year plan, to identify new opportunities for cooperation.
“The Chinese economy will offer the world more development opportunities, a favourable business environment, vast stages for innovation and conditions for green growth,” he told attendees.
