**********************************************************
The Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology, Mr Henry Tang, today (May 13) welcomes the announcement by the organiser of the JCK Show - Las Vegas 2003 to have our Hong Kong exhibitors back in the show floor of the exhibition to be held from May 30 to June 3.
" I welcome the latest decision by the organiser to have our exhibitors back to the show floor on strengths of the precautionary measures which our exhibitors have undertaken voluntarily.
"I am glad that through our concerted efforts and communication, involving our Economic and Trade Offices in London, Washington and San Francisco with the JCK organiser and US authorities, we have now successfully brought this matter to a satisfactory conclusion.
"This also fully demonstrated the practical and proactive approach our trade has adopted in our joint effort to seek a satisfactory solution to the incident," Mr Tang added.
