HONG KONG, Nov 19, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - More than 400 business leaders and senior government officials from the United Kingdom and Hong Kong attended the 30th anniversary Hong Kong Dinner in London last night.

Speakers included Hong Kong SAR Government Financial Secretary John Tsang, who delivered the keynote address, and UK guest of honour Dr Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.
In his speech, the Financial Secretary outlined the growth in Hong Kong-UK trade over the last three decades, and summarised major developments underway in Hong Kong, including large-scale infrastructure projects.
