Strengthening Nepal-Hong Kong Ties

Behzad Mirzaei, the Chamber’s Asia & Africa Committee Chairman, attended a lunch event on 28 September where he gave a lecture on “Contemporary Issues in Trade and Investment – Opportunities and Challenges in Nepal and Hong Kong” to an audience including Nepali community leaders and members of local and Nepali chambers of commerce. With ties going back to the 1960s, the Nepali community plays an important role in Hong Kong’s society and it is important to continue to strengthen the relationship between the two regions. Mirzaei said that Hong Kong had the potential to be the middleman facilitating China-Nepal trade and investment relations, with the help of the ongoing Belt and Road and Greater Bay Area initiatives.
