It was a pleasure to welcome so many distinguished Consuls General of the Asian, African and Middle Eastern regions at our latest cocktail reception at the Hong Kong Club on 19 June.

Chamber Chairman Agnes Chan highlighted in her speech that the evening was more than just a gathering – it was a celebration of partnerships, opportunities and shared aspirations.

Right now, the world’s fastest-growing economies are in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, she told the full house. “These regions aren’t just rising – they’re redefining global trade, innovation and investment. And with the incredible network in this room – our visionary Consuls General, dynamic business leaders and pioneering members – we’re not just watching this growth, we’re shaping it together,” she said.
