*********************************
During his stay in Seoul, Mr Chan will hold multiple meetings with representatives from local institutional investors, financial institutions, fund industry, the venture capital sector and the digital asset community. He will also attend a seminar on the capital markets of Hong Kong and Korea, where he will brief the Korean financial sector on the latest developments in Hong Kong's capital market and promote deeper co-operation between the two places in related areas.
He will also join a business luncheon cohosted by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Tokyo and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry. At the event, Mr Chan will highlight Hong Kong's business advantages to representatives from Korea's financial, industrial and commercial, innovation and technology sectors, among others. In particular, he will expand on Hong Kong’s role as a "super connector" and "super value-adder", and how it can help Korean businesses expand into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as the broader Mainland and international markets to explore new business opportunities.
While in Seoul, Mr Chan will also pay visits to representatives of the Bank of Korea – the central bank of Korea, financial regulatory bodies and investment agencies. He will also visit local innovation and technology enterprises as well as innovative research and development institutions.
