********************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Cup dragon boat race was held at the promenade of Yamashita Park in Yokohama, Japan, today (June 2). The championship went to Hong Kong China Dragon Boat Association, which beat 27 other teams in the race. The Hong Kong Cup trophy was presented by the Deputy Hong Kong Economic and Trade Representative (Tokyo), Mr Leo Tze.

     The Yokohama Dragon Boat Races, which have been held since 1994, attracted about 130 teams this year to compete in the two-day event on June 1 and 2. The Hong Kong Cup race, sponsored by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Tokyo (Tokyo ETO), was one of the highlights.

     The Tokyo ETO also set up a booth at the race venue to introduce Hong Kong to park visitors and race spectators, encouraging them to visit Hong Kong to experience for themselves the vibrancy of the city. The Tokyo ETO aims to promote cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Japan as well as enhance Japanese people's understanding of Hong Kong through participating in the event.
