It was a pleasure to welcome H.E. Luis Oswaldo López Álvarez, Ambassador of the Republic of El Salvador to the People´s Republic of China, along with his delegation, to the Chamber on 17 September. They were warmly received by Chamber CEO Patrick Yeung and Americas Committee Vice Chairman Susana Muñoz Enríquez. Both sides exchanged views on El Salvador’s investment opportunities and Hong Kong’s vibrant business landscape.
