CE continues visit in Cambodia (with photos/videos)
***************************************************
     The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, today (July 31) led a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region delegation to continue their visit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to meet with the Prime Minister of Cambodia and attend a business lunch. The delegation departed for Hanoi, Vietnam, in the afternoon.
      
     In the morning, Mr Lee met with the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Mr Hun Manet, and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of Cambodia, Mr Sar Sokha, respectively. Mr Lee noted that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has emerged as a powerhouse of economic growth, with the Cambodian market growing rapidly and possessing remarkable economic potential. As a "super connector" and "super value-adder" connecting the Mainland with the world, Hong Kong has first-class financial and professional services that can actively contribute to Cambodia's economic development, while Hong Kong can also gain many business opportunities during the process, he added.
      
     After the meeting, Mr Lee and Mr Hun Manet jointly witnessed an exchange of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) between Invest Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) with the Council for the Development of Cambodia, with a view to strengthening Hong Kong-Cambodia co-operation in investment promotion, economics and trade. Mr Lee also thanked the Cambodian Government for supporting Hong Kong's accession to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
      
     Afterwards, Mr Lee, together with the Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia, Mr Sun Chanthol, and the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Kingdom of Cambodia, Mr Wang Wenbin, attended a business luncheon organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Bangkok and the HKTDC. Addressing over 300 representatives of the government and business leaders of Cambodia, Mr Lee introduced Hong Kong's development opportunities and business advantages. During the luncheon, enterprises and organisations of Hong Kong and Cambodia exchanged 11 MOUs in areas including economics and trade, aviation and financial services. A total of 13 MOUs were reached between Hong Kong and Cambodia during the visit.
      
     In the afternoon, Mr Lee and the delegation departed for Hanoi, Vietnam, and attended a dinner with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry upon arrival.
      
     Mr Lee will continue his visit in Hanoi tomorrow (August 1).
