With political and economic events in Europe currently headline news, the Chamber’s Cocktail Reception with the European Consuls General on 10 April was a timely opportunity to hear directly about what is really happening on the ground. Around 130 members enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with the Consuls General at Hong Kong Club’s Garden Lounge, and to chat with other members about doing business on the continent. 

Consuls General and diplomatic representatives from Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, as well as the Head of the European Union Office, attended the cocktail reception. Chamber Chairman Aron Harilela led the toast, along with other Chamber leaders, to cheer for the continued strengthening of relations between Hong Kong and Europe.
