In the morning, Mr Hui and the Permanent Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (Financial Services), Mrs Angelina Cheung, met with the Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the People's Government of Zhejiang Province, Mr Gu Jianxin, and the Deputy Director-General of the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province, Mr Shi Qiqi, to brief them on the purpose of bringing the delegation to Hangzhou. Mr Hui expressed his anticipation of strengthening connections between Hangzhou enterprises and Hong Kong financial professionals, thereby deepening mutual understanding and jointly capturing the global market opportunities.
Mr Hui and Mrs Cheung then joined the delegation for a networking luncheon themed "Hong Kong financial sector empowering Mainland enterprises to go global" and co-organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Shanghai, Invest Hong Kong, the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the People's Government of Zhejiang Province. The luncheon focused on discussions about how Mainland enterprises can leverage Hong Kong's financial advantages for securing financing and going global. Speakers shared insights with attendees from over 300 enterprises on topics such as establishing corporate treasury centres in Hong Kong, raising international capital, expanding businesses to global markets through Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's tax rules. The luncheon attracted over 400 corporate representatives to attend.
In his keynote speech at the luncheon, Mr Hui stated that the global economic and trade landscape, industrial division of labour, and capital flows are all undergoing profound restructuring. Mainland enterprises going global together is now an inevitable trend but at the same time presents a wealth of opportunities. He expressed the hope that this visit to Hangzhou, joined by industry leaders of the Hong Kong financial profession, will integrate the financial edge of Hong Kong with Hangzhou's digital technologies, bringing a synergy effect to achieve mutual empowerment and support Hangzhou enterprises in their journey to explore international markets.
He said, "As a powerhouse of the private and digital economies, Zhejiang Province stands as a premier hub for advanced manufacturing. Hangzhou is in particular the cradle of innovation for the digital economy, nurturing a vast cluster of vibrant, highly innovative premium enterprises with a strong ambition to expand globally. Hong Kong's core strengths lie in international finance, cross-boundary investment and financing services, world-class professional services, and alignment with international standards. All these attributes perfectly match the critical demands of Zhejiang enterprises seeking global expansion. With the high complementarity of resources and industrial synergy between Zhejiang and Hong Kong, it is indeed an impeccable integration of the real economy and international finance."
He added that by leading a financial delegation with over 30 industry leaders to Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai at a time that marks the beginning of the National 15th Five-Year Plan, he is in the hope of supporting the strategic development of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD)'s core economy with Hong Kong's robust financial foundations. The delegation, which comprises industry leaders from Hong Kong's finance, insurance, accounting, and technology sectors, will gain precise insights into the needs of enterprises through visiting these three cities. This will in turn help connect Hong Kong's top-tier world-class services with premium enterprises in the YRD, thereby making greater contributions to the high-quality development of the region in the future.
At the networking luncheon, Mr Hui also witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the People's Government of Hangzhou Municipality. The MOU aims to promote exchanges, connectivity and innovative development between Hong Kong and Hangzhou Municipality in areas such as capital markets, fintech, wealth management and insurance, with a view to achieving mutual benefit and win-win outcomes for the industries.
In the afternoon, the delegation visited the Ant Group Headquarters, where they were received by the Chairman of the Ant Group, Mr Eric Jing, and were given an introduction to the group's global development strategy. The two parties discussed how the Group could utilise Hong Kong's financial market to go further.
The delegation then proceeded to visit Manycore Tech Inc, where they met with its Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, Mr Shen Bei. The two parties had a discussion on how the company, following its listing in Hong Kong, can strategically leverage the city's advantages in capital financing, foreign exchange management and cross-boundary diversified finance as an international financial centre to further expand its global footprint.
The delegation also visited the Institute of Global Development, Zhejiang University. The Institute was established this March, with an aim to provide training for mid-to-senior level personnel from governments and corporations worldwide to advance and deepen the implementation of global development initiatives.
Mr Hui and the delegation will visit Suzhou tomorrow (June 16).

London ETO and InvestHK support Walpole APAC Forum to promote Hong Kong's business advantages
The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London (London ETO) and Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) supported the Walpole APAC Forum (the Forum) in London on June 15 (London time), promoting Hong Kong's role as an ideal springboard for United Kingdom (UK) luxury brands seeking to expand across Asia.
Organised by Walpole, an organisation representing British luxury brands, the Forum brought together senior executives and industry leaders from the retail, travel, marketing and professional services sectors. The programme covered market trends, consumer insights and branding strategies across the Asia-Pacific region, with particular focus on opportunities in Hong Kong and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The Forum was attended by about 60 participants from the relevant sectors.
In her welcome remarks, the Director-General of the London ETO, Miss Fiona Chau, highlighted Hong Kong's distinctive role as a natural starting point for brands seeking to enter and scale in Asia. She said Hong Kong thrives on a robust common law system, strong intellectual property protection, free flow of capital, a simple and competitive tax regime, world-class logistics, and a diverse talent pool. She also promoted the launch of The Festival of Connoisseurs in Hong Kong later this year.
The Head of Consumer and Hospitality of InvestHK, Ms Sindy Wong, spoke at the discussion panel, she said, "Hong Kong remains a competitive and resilient luxury market, underpinned by steady wealth growth, a growing ultra-high-net-worth population and a gradual recovery in retail performance. As an international gateway between Chinese Mainland and the international market, Hong Kong brings together a diverse and discerning consumer base. Coupled with its proximity to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the city provides an ideal platform for UK luxury brands to enter, test and scale their presence across Asia, supported by strong market fundamentals and excellent regional connectivity."
During the Forum, the London ETO and InvestHK exchanged views with representatives of British luxury brands and other industry stakeholders, introducing Hong Kong's latest business environment and development opportunities, and encouraging companies to leverage Hong Kong as an important base for expanding into Asian markets and further developing their business in the region.
