2024/12/13 | Strengthening Links with Mexico We had an interesting exchange on 13 December with Fernando González Saiffe, Director General for Asia Pacific, Ministry of Foreign Relations of Mexico, during his first trip to Hong Kong. He said he has been very impressed by the vibrancy of the city, its officials, businesses and innovation across various sectors. He added that witnessing firsthand how the “One Country, Two Systems” framework provides Hong Kong with unique advantages was eye-opening.
Accompanied by Consul General of Mexico Pablo Macedo Riba and Consul Esteban Ramírez González, the Chamber’s Americas Committee Chairman Mark Michelson, Vice Chairmen Susana Muñoz Enríquez and Yazdi Parekh, and former committee chairman Evaristo Treviño Berlanga, discussed Asia’s increasingly important trade and investment in Mexico and Latin America. Chinese investments within its borders are shaping a dynamic landscape of international economic collaborations for the country.
Saiffe noted that Hong Kong serves as a gateway for Mexican enterprises to access the Chinese market, reciprocated by Mexico’s role as a gateway for Hong Kong enterprises to tap into the Latin American market.
The Chamber’s Economist, Doris Fung, briefed the visitors on the findings of the Chamber’s latest Business Prospects Survey and our economic forecast for Hong Kong in 2025, analyzing the business and economic sentiments in the region.
