The Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, met the Governor of Jiangxi Province, Mr Liu Qi, at Government House this afternoon (June 7) to exchange views on issues of mutual concern.

     Mr Leung pointed out that Hong Kong is the leading source of foreign investment for Jiangxi and the two places have enjoyed close economic and trade ties. He said that Jiangxi could leverage on Hong Kong's business advantages as an international commercial and financial centre to encourage more local enterprises to "go global".

     Noting that the country is pressing ahead with the Belt and Road Initiative, Mr Leung said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government would seize the enormous opportunities. He also said he looks forward to the closer co-operation between Hong Kong and Jiangxi in various areas to promote exchanges and development in the two places.
