     The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels (HKETO, Brussels) gave talks at universities in Italy and Belgium respectively this month, continuing to reach out to students in Europe as part of the Government's efforts to attract overseas talents to Hong Kong.

     The Deputy Representative of HKETO, Brussels, Miss Fiona Chau, gave a presentation to students at the University for Foreigners of Siena, Italy, on May 13 (Siena time). The University for Foreigners of Siena is a public university that specialises in the teaching of Italian as well as many other languages, including Chinese.

     Miss Chau also gave a presentation as a guest speaker to students at a workshop of the Asian Business Topics course of Thomas More University of Applied Sciences in Mechelen, Belgium, on May 24 (Mechelen time). The university offers more than 35 bachelor degree programmes, as well as 20 exchange programmes in English for students from partner universities.

     Miss Chau briefed students in both places about the abundant postgraduate study and career opportunities in Hong Kong, as well as the city's fundamental strengths as an international business and financial hub under the successful implementation of the "one country, two systems" principle, which provides a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong as enshrined in the Basic Law. Miss Chau added that Hong Kong's superb connectivity with and rich experience in the vast Mainland market make it an ideal location for foreign companies and can help them to connect and excel in Asia. She also highlighted Hong Kong's role in the Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area development, which would give it a further boost and provide more career opportunities for overseas talents.
