Mr Chan said at the Opening Ceremony of the roving exhibition at the Hubei Provincial Museum that since Hong Kong's return to our motherland 20 years ago, Hong Kong has achieved significant progress in economic and social development and in improving people's livelihood. Hong Kong will continue to make the best use of the unique advantages of "one country, two systems" to seize the new opportunities ahead and to scale new heights.
Other key officiating guests at the Opening Ceremony included the Vice Governor of Hubei Province, Mr Tong Daochi; the Director General of the Department of Culture of Hubei Province, Ms Lei Wenjie; the Director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Wuhan (WHETO), Miss Sara Tse; and the Director of WHETO (Designate), Mr Vincent FUNG.
Speaking at the Gala Dinner, Mr Chan said that Hong Kong and Hubei have a close economic and trade relationship. Hong Kong has ranked the first among all countries and regions investing in Hubei in terms of number of enterprises and amount of investment. At the same time, Hong Kong is the ideal platform facilitating Hubei enterprises to "go global" and to "attract foreign investment" to Hubei.
He added that the WHETO will continue to enhance and strengthen the exchanges between Hong Kong and Hubei in the areas of economic, trade and culture, and further cultivate friendship of people in the two places.
Other key officiating guests at the Gala Dinner included the Vice Governor of Hubei Province, Mr Tong Daochi; the Vice Mayor of Wuhan City, Ms Xu Honglan; the Director of the WHETO, Miss Sara Tse; and the Director of the WHETO (Designate), Mr Vincent Fung.
