FS meets with Thai Deputy Prime Minister and senior executives of multinational financial institution in Bangkok (with photos/video)
The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, continued his visit to Bangkok, Thailand, this morning (October 17).
Mr Chan met with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Thailand, Mr Ekniti Nitithanprapas, in the morning to exchange views on further strengthening economic, trade and financial co-operation between Hong Kong and Thailand.
The two sides explored ways to deepen co-operation and connect foreign direct investment in Thailand with Hong Kong's capital market to further support enterprises investing and expanding their businesses in Thailand. Mr Chan said that Hong Kong could leverage its strengths as an international financial centre to provide comprehensive investment and financing support for enterprises in Thailand. Hong Kong also welcomed closer regulatory co-operation between the two securities markets to encourage dual listings by enterprises from both places and strengthen capital market ties. With Mainland enterprises accelerating their international expansion and increasing investment in Thailand and Southeast Asia, Hong Kong could further enhance its bridging role by matching the Mainland's technological strengths with Thailand's industrial development needs, thereby fostering investment and industrial co-operation.
Mr Chan thanked Mr Ekniti for visiting Hong Kong to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Finance Ministers' Meeting, and invited him to attend the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong in January next year to further strengthen economic, trade and financial ties between the two places and across the region, and jointly explore new opportunities for co-operation.
Mr Chan also met with the chief executive officer and senior management of a major French bank with extensive operations in Hong Kong this morning. They exchanged views on developments in the fixed income and currency markets in Hong Kong and the region, green and sustainable finance, tokenised financial products, and asset and wealth management. Mr Chan welcomed the group's continued expansion in Hong Kong and its use of the city as a key hub for developing its regional business, tapping into the opportunities offered by Hong Kong as an international financial centre.
Having concluded his morning programme, Mr Chan departed for Hong Kong and returned in the afternoon today.

Hospital Authority Family Medicine Outpatient Services arrangements on public holiday on day following Chung Yeung Festival
The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (October 17) announced that 15 Family Medicine Clinics (FMCs) will provide public holiday family medicine outpatient services on the public holiday on the day following the Chung Yeung Festival (October 19) (see table below). Members of the public may book an appointment through the telephone appointment system, the eHealth mobile application or the "Book FMC" function in the "HA Go" mobile application.
The spokesperson reminded the public to stay vigilant about personal and environmental hygiene during the holiday to avoid spreading diseases. Members of the public who develop respiratory symptoms should wear masks and seek medical advice promptly. The spokesperson emphasised that non-emergency patients should avoid using Accident and Emergency (A&E) services and instead seek treatment at FMCs, private doctors or 24-hour outpatient services at private hospitals to reduce pressure on public hospital A&Es. Members of the public can visit the Health Bureau's Primary Care Directory www.pcdirectory.gov.hk to choose a family doctor and view related clinic service information.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson appealed to eligible members of the public, especially high-risk groups, to get vaccinated early for seasonal influenza to reduce the chance of infection for themselves and their family members, as well as to reduce critical cases and deaths after infection.
