Letters | Hong Kong is a commercial gateway and cultural bridge for Russians
Readers discuss cooperation between Russia and Hong Kong, and university capacity in the city
Each year, on February 10, we mark our professional holiday, Diplomats’ Day, which is now recognised far beyond Russia. This occasion offers an opportunity to reflect on the outcomes of ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at strengthening cooperation between Russia and Hong Kong.
For Russian companies interested in the Chinese market – including the dynamic Greater Bay Area – Hong Kong is more than just a gateway. It is viewed as a reliable business hub and a bridge to Chinese culture. The city’s transparent regulations and respected legal system make it attractive for Russian entrepreneurs seeking stable business growth in China.
Russian products are increasingly visible in Hong Kong’s retail and hospitality sectors, with more shops now offering Russian meat, sweets, seafood and cosmetics. Hong Kong’s role as a “superconnector” also makes it easier for Russian companies to access the Greater Bay Area and participate in the region’s development.
