Hong Kong leader seeks to deepen Middle East relations


HONG KONG (Bloomberg): Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee (pic) on Saturday embarked on his first official visit to the Middle East, kicking off a campaign to attract new investment to the city following almost three years of pandemic isolation.

Lee will visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates from Feb 6 until Feb 11. During that time, he’ll meet with local political and business leaders to promote new development opportunities and "foster Hong Kong’s exchanges and co-operation with Saudi Arabia and the UAE on all fronts,” according to a government statement released before the trip.
