     A delegation of 10 overseas government officials completed their visit to Hong Kong today (October 30), gaining a better understanding of the city's strengths, potential and opportunities under the "one country, two systems" arrangement.
 
     The visit was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which invited officials of foreign ministries from 10 Asian countries, namely Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Myanmar, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

     During the delegation's stay in Hong Kong, they met with the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki; the Acting Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong; and the Acting Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, to exchange views and learn more about Hong Kong's unique advantages of having connections to both the Mainland and the world under "one country, two systems", as well as its role as a "super connector" and "super value-adder".
 
     They also met with the Acting Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Dr Bernard Chan; the Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Joseph Chan; and the Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Ms Lillian Cheong, as well as representatives of a number of relevant institutions.
