Financial Secretary Paul Chan continued his Bangkok visit today (Oct. 17), meeting Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas to discuss closer economic, trade and financial cooperation.

Chan said Hong Kong, as an international financial centre, can provide full investment and financing support for Thai businesses, while strengthening regulatory cooperation between the two securities markets and encouraging dual listings. He also highlighted Hong Kong's role as a bridge linking mainland China's technology strengths with Thailand's industrial needs. He thanked the Deputy PM for attending the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting in Hong Kong and invited him to the Asian Financial Forum next January.

Chan also met the CEO and management team of a major French bank with extensive Hong Kong operations, discussing fixed income and money markets, green and sustainable finance, tokenised products and wealth management. He welcomed the group's continued expansion in Hong Kong.

Opinion | 'Building Bridges'- How North Korea went from isolated pariah to strategic counterweight

Opinion | 'Building Bridges'- How North Korea went from isolated pariah to strategic counterweight Since 2014, a "new" bridge has stood on the Yalu River between Dandong in China and Sinuiju in North Korea. This massive white spired bridge, built by Chinese engineering, was intended to deepen economic integration between the two Communist neighbours, having previously relied on the very small, Japanese Imperial-derived railway bridge known as the "Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge." The new bridge was thus to be revolutionary, yet for reasons entirely related to the North Korean side, it didn't open.

Opinion | Behind the double 'World's No. 1': How world-class hospitality is forging a new chapter for HK tourism Bar Leone in Central, Hong Kong, was crowned the world's best bar for the second consecutive year. Barely three weeks earlier, Rosewood Hong Kong likewise retained its No. 1 ranking, becoming the only hotel to successfully defend the title since the list was founded. Bars and hotels are two mirrors of the hospitality industry. That both "world's best" titles have fallen to Hong Kong in the same year is no coincidence—it is an objective affirmation by international professional juries of the city's service standards and business environment.
