CE welcomes joint venture between Chinese and American film and entertainment companies to be headquartered in Hong Kong
************************************************************

     The Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, today (September 20) welcomes the formation of a joint venture between Warner Bros Entertainment Inc (Warner) and China Media Capital (CMC), to be headquartered in Hong Kong, to develop, produce and distribute films to the global market, and issues the following statement:
 
     "I and the current-term government attach great importance to cultural and creative industries in Hong Kong. I hosted a dinner at Government House with the management of the CMC and Warner visiting Hong Kong in January, and exchanged views on the development of cultural and creative industries and headquarters economy of Hong Kong.  
 
     This collaboration highlighted that the cultural and creative industries in Hong Kong have international flavour. Thanks to a high degree of openness, capability of external co-operation, an edge in language ability and close ties with the outside world on community levels, Hong Kong has an unique advantage in collaboration in international scientific research and art and culture."
