The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Tokyo (Tokyo ETO), in collaboration with the Hong Kong Institute of Architects, organised an outreach and professional exchange mission to Incheon, Korea. The delegation took part in the Architects Regional Council Asia (ARCASIA) 21st Asian Congress of Architects, alongside professional bodies from around the world. The programme was funded by the Professionals Participation Subsidy Programme under the Government's Professional Services Advancement Support Scheme, with a view to promoting Hong Kong's competitive edge and professional services.
 
     ARCASIA, comprising architectural associations from various countries and regions across Asia, hosted its 21st Asian Congress of Architects under the theme "A Better Tomorrow." During their visit to Incheon from September 10 to 14, members of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects and the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects not only attended the 21st Asian Congress of Architects but also held several exchange meetings with professional bodies from different places and visited local architectural sites and enterprises.
 
     In addition, a representative of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects took part in the Young Architects Exchange Forum titled "Emerging Voices of Asia" held this afternoon (September 12). The representative exchanged views with fellow speakers and participants, shared professional insights and experiences, and highlighted the strength and international vision of Hong Kong's architectural professionals.
 
     Tokyo ETO will continue to promote exchanges and co-operation of Hong Kong's professional services with their counterparts in external markets and enhance the standards and competitiveness of Hong Kong's professional services.
