***************************************
The Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, met the visiting Mayor of Montreal, Mr Denis Coderre, at Government House this afternoon (November 5) to exchange views on issues of mutual concern.
Mr Leung said that Hong Kong and Canada have well-established connections, spanning from business and commerce to social, cultural and human ties, and Hong Kong is home to the largest Canadian community in Asia. Hong Kong will continue to work with Canada to strengthen trade, economic and cultural relations.
He also encouraged more Canadian enterprises to set up business and invest in Hong Kong to capitalise on Hong Kong's role as a "super-connector" and explore business opportunities in Asia, particularly in the Mainland of China.
