Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and Macao. The FHKI organised a<br />

mission to Vietnam, to help members understand local industrial<br />

developments and explore new business opportunities.<br />

In June, to mark the 10 th anniversary of the establishment of the<br />

Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the FHKI held the<br />

Journey of Hong Kong Industry & the Way Forward forum as one<br />

of the official community-organised events on 13 June 2007 at<br />

the Chiang Chen Studio Theatre of the Hong Kong Polytechnic<br />

University. There was also a mini exhibition from 13 to 15 June<br />

at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Members visited the<br />

exhibition to refresh their memories of the colourful milestones of<br />

Hong Kong industry during the past decade.<br />

During the year, the FHKI received over 60 delegations from the<br />

Mainland, Indonesia, Poland, India, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam,<br />

Chile, Thailand, Mexico, UK, USA and Canada. FHKI representatives<br />

attended 34 symposiums in Hong Kong. On these occasions,<br />

members exchanged views on pressing industry issues, established<br />

contacts and engaged in business matching with the delegates.<br />

On 19 March 20<strong>08</strong> the FHKI held its Annual Dinner at the JW<br />

Marriott Hotel, which featured Financial Secretary John Tsang<br />

as the guest-of-honour. The Dinner was attended by over 400<br />

members, guests and friends of the FHKI, and included senior<br />

officials of the HKSAR and Mainland government representatives,<br />

consuls-general as well as representatives from leading business<br />

and professional organisations in Hong Kong.<br />

Timely Dissemination of Information<br />

As before, the FHKI disseminated useful business information<br />

through its website, circulars, weekly newsletters and the monthly<br />

journal the Hong Kong Industrialist & PRD Industrialist.<br />

The FHKI website provided the local and<br />

international business community with easy access to information<br />

on current issues and the latest development of matters affecting<br />

Hong Kong industry and business. This site is also a platform for<br />

information on FHKI activities and services, membership details<br />

and recent articles from the Hong Kong Industrialist.<br />

The FHKI also offered a trade enquiry service to assist Hong<br />

Kong manufacturers and overseas importers to establish business<br />

contacts.<br />

Throughout last year, press statements were issued to relay the<br />

FHKI’s views to the community on matters pertinent to trade and<br />

industry. Members received weekly circulars by e-mail or fax, all<br />

of which carried information on a wide variety of issues and on<br />

forthcoming activities of the FHKI. A comprehensive Members’<br />

Directory was published in June 2007 for members’ reference and<br />

for local and overseas buyers who wished to source from particular<br />

suppliers.<br />
