     The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, London (London ETO) and the Denmark-Hong Kong Trade Association co-hosted a Year of the Dragon reception in Copenhagen, Denmark, on March 12 (Copenhagen time).

     In his welcome speech, the Director-General of the London ETO, Mr Gilford Law, shared with the Danish community the latest updates of Hong Kong, including key initiatives announced in the 2024-25 Budget of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (HKSARG), and highlighted Hong Kong's advantages as an international talent hub.

     "In recent years, the HKSARG has rolled out a number of measures, including the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), to trawl for talent. In the past year or so, more than 140 000 applications have been approved under various talent admission schemes. About 100 000 of them have already arrived in Hong Kong. With three universities in Denmark covered under the TTPS, we welcome our Danish friends to consider a career in Hong Kong," he said.

     The reception was well attended by around 90 guests, including representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, diplomatic envoys, representatives from the local business, academic and cultural sectors.
