Forging Ties with London, the United Kingdom
It was a pleasure to welcome Michael Mainelli, President of the London Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI) and Chairman of Z/Yen Group, to the Chamber on 14 January.
During a meeting with Chairman Agnes Chan, CEO Patrick Yeung and Europe Committee Vice Chairmen Stratos Pourzitakis and Philipp Hanusch, Mainelli introduced LCCI’s work and briefly explained how the London-based commercial think-tank Z/Yen Group assessed the competitiveness of financial centres worldwide, such as Busan, Toyko and Ho Chi Minh City, through the Global Financial Centres Index.
Mainelli explored the potential of using common law as a bridge to connect the world and to promote Hong Kong as a premier contracting hub for China. Chan welcomed opportunities for collaboration and closer ties, from a potential MOU to inviting Mainelli to the Chamber’s 165th Anniversary Ball in late May.
