Ms. Alpha Lau, the Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), is on her first official visit to Chengdu, Sichuan Province, from March 10 to 12. During this visit, she aims to promote Hong Kong's business opportunities to local government authorities, enterprises, and media, emphasizing the complementary advantages between Sichuan and Hong Kong in industrial and innovation chains.
Lau pointed out that the recent sessions of the National People's Congress have provided clear direction on how Hong Kong can leverage its unique advantages to drive ongoing reform and innovation. She highlighted the importance of deepening international collaboration, enhancing integration within the Greater Bay Area, and embracing technological innovation as crucial for high-quality economic development.
In her meetings, Lau engaged with Mr. Liang Yong, Deputy Director General of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce, to discuss topics such as multinational supply chain management. She noted that 2025 marks the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan and expressed hope that this visit would help Sichuan businesses better understand Hong Kong's unique advantages under the "one country, two systems" framework.
On March 11, Lau delivered welcome remarks at a seminar titled "Sichuan Enterprises Going Global: Leveraging Hong Kong's Advantages for International Supply Chain Collaboration." This seminar was jointly organized by InvestHK and local agencies, attracting around 150 participants from various sectors. Lau emphasized that Hong Kong is not only the largest source of foreign investment in Sichuan but also a primary destination for Sichuan enterprises looking to invest abroad.
The seminar included insights from various speakers about leveraging Hong Kong's strengths for internationalization. Lau's agenda also involves visiting leading high-tech enterprises in sectors like green energy and advanced manufacturing to explore their plans for establishing or expanding operations in Hong Kong.
