HKETO's Gathering in Singapore

December 14, 2018

On December 14 evening, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Singapore hosted a networking gathering at the historical landmark of the Clifford Pier at the Fullerton Bay Hotel. About 200 guests from the diplomatic, business, academic and cultural circles as well as the local Hong Kong community enjoyed a blissful evening at the reception.

The Director of the HKETO in Singapore, Mr Bruno Luk, in his welcoming remarks reviewed Hong Kong’s various economic achievements in 2018 amid an uncertain external environment. He also introduced two major infrastructure projects recently completed which have greatly enhanced the city’s physical connectivity, namely the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Hong Kong section of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. They would create further growth opportunities for various industries such as tourism, trade and financial services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

To conclude his remarks, Mr Luk gave an update of the Hong Kong Government’s plan to expand the network of overseas ETOs, with the Bangkok ETO, the third ETO in the ASEAN region, commencing operation in early 2019. He also expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the support of all the guests over the years and wished them a joyful Christmas and happy New Year.
