Commissioner for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area begins visit to Korea to promote GBA’s development opportunities

     The Commissioner for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Ms Maisie Chan, began a four-day visit to Seoul today (August 28) to promote the development opportunities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and to enhance exchange and collaboration in different areas between the two places.
 
     This evening, Ms Chan will attend a reception with the theme of "Hong Kong – Your Super Connector and Super Value-adder with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area". The reception is organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Tokyo) (HKETO (Tokyo)), in collaboration with the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office. The reception aims to showcase the unlimited business opportunities and development potential of the GBA to various sectors of the local community, while encouraging Korean talent and enterprises to leverage Hong Kong’s role as a "super connector" and "super value-adder" for exploring the enormous markets of the GBA and of the Mainland.
 
     During her stay in Seoul, Ms Chan will call on local government officials, visit a number of innovation and technology enterprises, and exchange views with representatives from various business chambers of commerce and industry associations to learn about the latest developments in Korea. She will also attend a talent attraction luncheon organised by the HKETO (Tokyo) to promote Hong Kong’s unique advantages and talent attraction policies to Korean talent, thereby encouraging them to seize the significant opportunities brought about by GBA development through Hong Kong.
 
     Ms Chan will conclude her visit and return to Hong Kong on August 31.
