On November 5, Lee will attend the opening ceremony of the CIIE and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum and visit the booths of Hong Kong enterprises at the Hong Kong exhibition area to show support.

He will also encourage more Shanghai enterprises to invest in Hong Kong and use Hong Kong as a springboard to explore the international market at the "2024 Hong Kong Investment Promotion Conference - Shanghai Forum" and witness the signing of a number of key cooperation projects between Hong Kong and Shanghai.
