The Director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Sydney, Mr Steve Barclay, today (July 29, Sydney time) launched the inaugural "2010 Hong Kong Week in Sydney".
Mr Barclay said Hong Kong had long and close ties with Sydney and the two cities are similar in many ways. "Both Hong Kong and Sydney are financial and business hubs, both are truly multi-cultural and cosmopolitan, and both share their love for the arts and entertainment."
"Hong Kong continues to be a global success story and the Hong Kong Week gives us an opportunity to share that story with the people of Sydney. It's a chance to experience our vibrant creativity, our dynamic, cosmopolitan lifestyle, the vast business opportunities and the fine dining experience Hong Kong has to offer", Mr Barclay added.
Mr Barclay said that the Hong Kong Week 2010, as the first dedicated week of activities promoting Hong Kong to be staged in Sydney, marks an important milestone for the HKETO, the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Office.
