Hong Kong Invest Promotion Agency: Hong Kongs new business opportunities can effectively empower Sichuan enterprises to go global and promote complementary advantages between the two regions.

From March 10th to March 12th, the Director of the Hong Kong Investment Promotion Bureau, Liu Kaixuan, visited Chengdu, Sichuan Province to promote Hong Kong's new business opportunities to local government departments, enterprises, and local media. The visit aimed to promote complementary advantages in industrial and innovation chains between Sichuan and Hong Kong, and to upgrade development. She expressed her hope that through this visit and promotional activities, Sichuan enterprises can fully understand Hong Kong's unique advantages under the "one country, two systems" framework. With its status as an international financial center and excellent professional services, Hong Kong serves as a gateway for mainland enterprises to enter the international market, as well as an ideal portal for overseas enterprises to enter the mainland market. Liu Kaixuan pointed out that Hong Kong has always been a "bridge" between Sichuan and the global market. Sichuan and Hong Kong complement each other in terms of industrial resources. Hong Kong is not only the largest source of foreign investment for Sichuan, but also a major destination for Sichuan enterprises to invest abroad. She believes that Hong Kong's diverse business opportunities can empower Sichuan enterprises to internationalize effectively and help Sichuan enterprises expand into international markets via Hong Kong. Recently, the cooperation between Sichuan and Hong Kong has been boosted by the popularity of the "Panda Economy" and the movie "Ne Zha" in areas such as tourism, culinary consumption, and cultural entertainment. Particularly, Sichuan is focusing on developing an innovative economy, which aligns with Hong Kong's emphasis on the science and technology industry and the development of new productive forces. She mentioned that Hong Kong can play a greater role in three aspects: deepening international cooperation, further enhancing integration in the Greater Bay Area, and fully practicing science and technology innovation as a key driver for high-quality economic development.
