2025/11/27 | Forging Links with the EU Office in Hong Kong and Macao We had an afternoon of productive exchanges with Harvey Rouse, Ambassador and Head of the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macao, on 27 November. Trade Affairs Officer Sami AI Daghistani, Marjut Hannonen, Head of Trade for the EU Delegation in Beijing, and Trade Officer Martynas Baciulis also attended the meeting, which focused on the opportunities in Hong Kong and the challenges ahead.
Chamber CEO Patrick Yeung emphasized that by consolidating its strengths in finance and professional services, Hong Kong can better serve as a super-connector between China and the rest of the world. He noted that digital transformation would help traditional industries – including retail and logistics – unlock new levels of efficiency and drive sustainable growth. Ambassador Rouse echoed these views, highlighting Hong Kong’s openness and international status, underpinned by its unique economic and common law legal system.
Both sides also discussed the need to attract and retain professionals across diverse sectors, which is crucial to boosting the city’s talent pool and addressing issues such as an ageing population.
