 The
HKETO Director, Mrs Rosanna Ure, met the Premier of British Columbia and the
Mayor of Vancouver during a 2-day visit to Vancouver in February.
Mrs Ure updated Premier Gordon Campbell and Deputy Minister Andrew Wilkinson
on the great potential market of the Mainland and Hong Kong’s role as a
pre-eminent gateway to China and as a hub for the Pearl River Delta. Mrs Ure
took the opportunity to report on the success of the Hong Kong-Canada trade
mission held last November, in which 16 of the 40 Canadian companies were
from British Columbia.
Mrs Ure remarked that, judging from past experience, the collaboration of
British Columbia and Hong Kong companies is a winning formula in tackling
the fast-growing China market.
Premier Campbell commented that British Columbia, with its large Hong Kong
immigrant population, is in a unique position to promote closer economic
ties between Hong Kong and Canada.
In her meeting with Mayor Larry Campbell, Mrs Ure enjoyed a discussion of
issues of mutual interest to Hong Kong and the City of Vancouver, with
particular focus on closer co-operation between the two cities.
