******************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Wuhan (WHETO) today (June 27) held the Reception for the 22nd Anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Wuhan, Hubei Province. Around 200 guests attended the reception, including representatives from various government departments and authorities, consulates and related institutions, and chambers of commerce and corporations in Hubei and Wuhan; Hong Kong people and students staying in Wuhan; and representatives from Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi and Shanxi. The Director of the WHETO, Mr Vincent Fung, and the Vice Governor of Hubei Province, Mr Zhao Haishan, jointly officiated at the reception.
         
          In his welcoming remarks, Mr Fung said that since Hong Kong's return to the motherland 22 years ago, in light of the country's steady progress on all fronts, the interaction between Hong Kong and the Mainland has become multifaceted. Hong Kong has been actively participating in and taking up significant responsibilities in the country's process of reform and opening up, and has fully leveraged on the advantages of the "one country, two systems" principle. Through active participation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area development, Hong Kong is further promoting the economic development of Hong Kong and the Mainland. Mr Fung added that 2019 is also the year of the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the WHETO. In the years ahead, the WHETO will adhere to the Hong Kong people's can-do spirit in keeping up its services through participation in and organisation of various activities.
         
          Thematic exhibitions on the Basic Law and various talent admission schemes were also held at the reception to enhance the participants' understanding on these topics.
