"150th Anniversary of Consular Relations between Hong Kong and German States" Lecture at HKU
28 Sep 2006
Thanks to its world-class infrastructure and its proximity to Mainland China, Hong Kong has long been the place where East meets West. Being one of the greatest economies in the West, Germany naturally sees the Asia's World City as a very important location for its presence and its activities in the Far East.
Trading between the two regions has been going on for more than 150 years. At this time not only trade but also, as a consequence of trade, consular relations were established.
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of consular relations between Hong Kong and German states, The University of Hong Kong and the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Hong Kong are hosts to a distinguished lecture entitled "150th Anniversary of Consular Relations between Hong Kong and German States".
