From the desk of our SHKBA President
|
Dear Members and Friends
We are looking back to an exciting 1st
quarter with lots of activities and inspiring events cumulating in a splashing
Chinese New Year event. We would like to thank you for your participation and encouraging
feedbacks. Our thanks also go to Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO), Berlin, Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Mr. MAO Jun, Envoy of Chinese Embassy for his opening remarks. The
brilliant musicians flown in from Hong Kong set a perfect stage for informal
discussions and exchanges to follow.
We are currently busy in organizing our
upcoming event on “ Hong Kong - A Leading Hub and Gateway for Family Offices” to take place in
Zurich on June 17. Registration is now open. Given this unique opportunity of
getting first hand information from different experts I suggest you confirming
your participation as early as possible.
Please let us know of any interests and/or
topics you would like to be discussed in greater details in the future.
Looking forward to an engaging and positive
exchange I remain
with my best wishes,
|

Hong Kong remains hub for global talent
|
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin dismissed some comments made in the media that global talent is reluctant to work and live in Hong Kong, and that the city is seeing a "talent drain". Such comments disregard facts, and are irresponsibly discrediting Hong Kong in terms of its freedom and human rights situation, and are misleading public opinion, Wang told a regular news briefing. Hong Kong remains a hub of global talent, and its appeal to global talent is on the rise, he said. |
