The Henan Liaison Unit (HALU) of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Wuhan (WHETO) of the HKSAR Government held "New Year Gathering of Hong Kong Residents in Henan 2018" in Zhengzhou to celebrate the Chinese New Year with over 100 Hong Kong people who live and work in Henan. 

     In his welcome remarks, the Director of the WHETO, Mr Vincent Fung, said that since the commencement of operation of the HALU in September 2016, it has been organising a number of activities to foster closer ties with Henan in areas such as trade, economic and cultural exchanges; actively uniting the Hong Kong people living and working in Henan and offering support to them. As 2018 is the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening up of China and Hong Kong will also be connected to the national high-speed rail network this year, the HALU will seize the opportunities to facilitate co-operation between Henan and Hong Kong.

     During the reception, Mr Fung spoke with representatives of the provincial government of Henan. He also talked with Hong Kong people who live and operate businesses in the Province to know more about their experiences there.
