Hong Kong's post-SARS dynamism has been showcased in St. Petersburg, Moscow
and Prague in East Europe through a series of promotional events, a Hong Kong
government press release said Friday.
The events included a seminar, a photographic exhibition and cultural
performances, led by Director-General of the HK Economic and Trade Office,
London, Andrew Leung.
Addressing about 110 prominent businessmen at a seminar organized by the Hong
Kong Trade Development Council in Prague Thursday, Leung called on them to
capitalize on the substantial business opportunities presented by CEPA.
He said that consensus on building the HK-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge will
consolidate the competitive advantage of the Pearl River Delta region, which
will be developed into one of the world's most vibrant economic hubs within the
next decade.
Leung said Hong Kong will continue to be the key to unlocking the full
potential of the vast Chinese mainland market for Eastern European businesses.
Supported by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, the Hong
Kong City Contemporary Dance Company gave week-long performances in the three
cities from Oct. 4. Their debut performance there, said Leung, laid a milestone
in forging cultural ties between Hong Kong and East Europe.
