Chief Executive John Lee will lead a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government delegation to visit Shanghai on November 4 and attend the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE).
   
Apart from attending the opening ceremony of the CIIE and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum, Mr Lee plans to tour the booths of Hong Kong enterprises at the Hong Kong exhibition area on November 5.
 
The Hong Kong SAR Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council will hold the 2024 Hong Kong Investment Promotion Conference - Shanghai Forum during the CIIE.
 
Mr Lee and Financial Secretary Paul Chan, who is scheduled to join the delegation for the trip, will deliver speeches at the conference to promote Hong Kong's advantages and its role as a connecting platform under the national dual circulation strategy to Mainland and overseas enterprises.
 
"The CIIE is an important economic diplomatic event held after the victorious conclusion of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, providing vast business opportunities for Hong Kong enterprises to tap into the domestic market,” Mr Lee said.
 
“Hong Kong has always actively participated in and supported the CIIE. In addition to senior government officials attending, over 300 Hong Kong enterprises are taking part in the exposition this year, jointly promoting Hong Kong's advantages and development opportunities in different areas and telling Hong Kong's good stories," he added.
 
The Chief Executive will also meet leaders of Shanghai during the visit and exchange views with Hong Kong people and representatives of Hong Kong enterprises there.
      
Mr Lee plans to return to Hong Kong on November 6. During his absence, Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki will be Acting Chief Executive.
