The team in Hong Kong is certainly enjoying the APSCo Trade delegation which began yesterday. The first official evening of the delegation was spent enjoying a fabulous ten course Chinese banquet in a truly authentic and traditional Chinese restaurant where no English was spoken and the menus all in Cantonese. Fortunately we had help from our generous sponsors CXC Global to translate for us!
Following a fantastic meal and a good night’s sleep, the second day proved to be a real success, kicking off with a very informative morning at the consulate. All the delegates involved now know all about taxation in Hong Kong (which is much lower than the UK), employment law (much less stringent than in the UK) and what it’s really like to live and work in Hong Kong from an ex pat who’s been here most of his life (much better than the UK).In fact, we might all be staying here!
Tonight we have our client networking reception at the Consulate where the staff have been incredibly helpful and accommodating. The delegates are looking forward to meeting some of their prospective clients and, who knows, they may even do some business!
Check back tomorrow for more exciting updates from Hong Kong!
