Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau Ying‑wah announced that he will head a joint delegation of mainland Chinese and Hong Kong firms to Malaysia next week, aiming to showcase Hong Kong as a launchpad for companies expanding overseas.
According to the South China Morning Post, the delegation will follow the trend of nearly 200 mainland enterprises that have opened offices in Hong Kong since last year, using the city as a stepping‑stone to global markets. Yau also stated that Hong Kong is now eyeing emerging African markets after exploring opportunities in the Middle East and Central Asia amid rising geopolitical tensions.
Hong Kong has long positioned itself as a gateway between China and the world; the upcoming visit underscores its continued efforts to diversify trade partners and attract foreign investment.
