*****************************************************************************************
Members of the HKSAR Government delegation include the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Algernon Yau; and the Director of the Chief Executive's Office, Ms Carol Yip.
On November 5, Mr Lee will attend the opening ceremony of the eighth CIIE and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum, and he will visit the Hong Kong exhibition area to show support for Hong Kong enterprises.
Mr Lee said, "The CIIE attracts international attention and will feature participation from over 3 200 enterprises across more than 110 countries and regions in the Enterprise and Business Exhibition, offering vast business opportunities for Hong Kong enterprises.
"Hong Kong has always actively participated in and supported the CIIE. In addition to the attendance of senior government officials, over 350 Hong Kong enterprises from various industries are exhibiting at the Expo this year. This record-high participation reflects that Hong Kong enterprises consider the CIIE the premier platform for tapping into the domestic market and showcasing Hong Kong brands and their innovative strengths."
In addition, Mr Lee will officiate at the Hong Kong - The Ideal Platform for Mainland Enterprises in Going Global Promotion Conference hosted by the HKSAR Government. This will be the first large-scale publicity event on the Mainland organised by the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global, newly established by the HKSAR Government, bringing together cross-sector speakers to highlight the strengths of Hong Kong as an international platform for going global.
Mr Lee will meet with leaders of Shanghai during his visit to deepen Hong Kong-Shanghai co-operation. He will also engage with Hong Kong people and representatives of Hong Kong enterprises in Shanghai.
Mr Lee will return to Hong Kong on November 6. During his absence, the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, will be the Acting Chief Executive.
