The Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, met the visiting delegation of the Japan-Hong Kong Parliamentarian League (JHKPL) led by its Vice-Chairman and member of the House of Councillors of the National Diet of Japan, Mr Yuichiro Hata, at the Chief Executive's Office this afternoon (August 21) to exchange views on issues of mutual concern.
Mr Leung said that the JHKPL has been maintaining close contacts with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Tokyo) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government over the years and plays a vital role in promoting the economic and trade relationship between the two places.
Mr Leung also introduced the latest developments of Hong Kong to the delegation. He encouraged more Japanese enterprises to set up business in Hong Kong so as to leverage on the city's advantages as an international financial and trade centre.
