HK presence grows at Shanghai expo

Around 200 businesses from Hong Kong are showcasing their products and services at the second China International Import Expo held in Shanghai, including industries of service trade, medical equipment, healthcare and agricultural products, according to the China International Import Expo Bureau.

"Hong Kong is also among the top 10 regions or countries in terms of exhibition area during the CIIE this year," said Sun Chenghai, deputy head of the CIIE bureau.

Peter KN Lam, chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said that many Hong Kong products and services are popular on the Chinese mainland, and he hoped that the exhibitors from Hong Kong, which has long been Asia's international commerce and trade platform and service industry hub, can make full use of the CIIE platform to open up more business opportunities.
