InvestHK's Charles Ng kicks off Canadian tour

Associate director-general of investment promotion at Invest Hong Kong Charles Ng Siong-kwong commenced his duty visit to Canada from Sunday until June 14 to deepen economic ties with Canadian investors and businesses.

Ng said Hong Kong and Canada have long shared a strong and mutually beneficial investment relationship.

"Canada ranked eighth among the major sources of inward direct investment into Hong Kong, contributing over US$34 billion (HK$265.2 billion) in 2023," Ng said. "The city made outward direct investment of around US$10 billion to Canada, reflecting the deep economic ties and two-way confidence between our markets."

He added Hong Kong will continue to play its unique role as both a "super connector" and a value creator, bridging traditional and emerging markets and unlocking new opportunities for Canadian businesses.

During his visit to Waterloo, Toronto and Montreal, Ng will meet with investors, family offices, multinationals, Canadian start-ups, academia and business leaders to explore new opportunities for collaboration and showcase Hong Kong's unique advantages as a launchpad for Asian expansion.
