Hong Kong & China's Global Future: a discussion on international business opportunities & cultural exchange
Anita Chan, Director of the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office in New York will give a talk at Brown University.
When:
April 11, 2011 5:30pm to 6:30pm
Where
The Hong Kong Student Association is sponsoring a discussion led by Anita Chan, the director of the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office, New York. She will discuss China & HK's unique relationship and why Hong Kong continues to attract so many global companies, tourists & foreign students.
Set up in 1983, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York is the office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government tasked to promote and strengthen the economic and trade links between Hong Kong and the 31 US states east of the Mississippi.
As the world’s freest economy, Hong Kong is a leading international business and financial center, as well as a regional transportation and logistics hub. It is the gateway to China and remains a choice location for international companies to oversee and manage their regional operations.
The office works with American businesses that are keen to invest in Hong Kong or gain a foothold in the burgeoning Mainland Chinese market through the territory. We are in close contact with state and city governments, think tanks, academia and the media to keep them abreast of latest developments on Hong Kong. Promotional events, such as dragon boat festivals and film festivals are also held regularly to enhance cultural ties with major cities on the east coast.
