MANILA – A high-level investment delegation from Hong Kong and Shanghai is scheduled to visit the Philippines on April 22 – 24 to present and discuss new business opportunities, in tune with the growing intra-regional cooperation in Asia. The mission aims to bridge investors and service providers from Hong Kong and Shanghai with project owners and investors from Manila and explore potential partnerships and business arrangements, especially on openings being presented by the Belt and Road initiative. The initiative promotes economic cooperation among countries along and beyond the Belt and Road routes to further market integration around the world.
While in the country, the Hong Kong -Shanghai contingent of high-level government and business leaders will meet with Philippine heads of economic, infrastructure, transportation, construction, finance and business agencies and organizations to explore partnership and investment opportunities.
Hong Kong is a leading international business and financial center in the region, with one of the world’s freest economies, and a logical gateway to doing business with Mainland China and across the region, while Shanghai has established itself as a global financial center and transport hub, with the world’s busiest container port. As economic and trade ties between China and the Philippines improve, developing business relations for both have never been more accessible, but in fact have become more timely and relevant than before.
Part of the visit will be a free but invitational business conference and networking luncheon entitled “Hong Kong and Shanghai: Your Investment Partners” to be held on April 24 at the Shangri-la the Fort, Bonifacio Global City, where group project presentations by key project owners will also be featured. This high-level investment mission will be led by the Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) Vincent HS Lo and Co-Mission Leader Dr. Jonathan Choi (Chairman, Sunwah Group).
