Policy Address

Trade

18.         External trade links are crucial to Hong Kong.  Currently, the Government has 11 overseas Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices (ETOs).  The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (TDC) and the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) also have overseas offices or employ local consultants to assist in the liaison and promotion work.  Over the years, our overseas ETOs, the TDC and the HKTB have worked closely with each other to promote Hong Kong.

19.         The Government will consider increasing the number of ETOs in Asia.  The Trade and Industry Department will also strengthen our liaison work and tap new markets.
