The Deputy Secretary for Justice and the Chairman of the Expert Committee on Professional Services for Going Global, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, will depart for Urumqi, Xinjiang, tomorrow (June 24) to attend the 9th China-Eurasia Expo on behalf of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.
 
     Dr Cheung said that Hong Kong, with its unique advantages of having the strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world, is an international financial, trading, shipping, and innovation and technology centre. Xinjiang is a bridgehead for China's westward opening-up and a core zone of the Silk Road Economic Belt, with a distinct geographical advantage of bridging East-West two-way trade flows. The Expo will help fully leverage the strengths of both places, and promote deeper exchanges and co-operation among Hong Kong and Macao, Xinjiang, and relevant countries across Asia and Europe.

     Dr Cheung will return to Hong Kong on June 25.
