The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Toronto) (HKETO) hosted a Chinese New Year reception for students from Hong Kong pursuing education at different universities in Ontario on February 14.
The Director of the HKETO, Ms Emily Mo, introduced the role of HKETO and the office’s mission in fostering exchanges between Hong Kong and Canada in the areas of economic and trade, as well as arts and culture. She also spoke on the latest developments of the Hong Kong-Canada relations, and highlighted the significance of Hong Kong as a major global trading entity, as well as a “super-connector” and a “super value-adder” between Mainland China and the rest of the world.
Noting the breadth and depth of the bilateral human ties between Hong Kong and Canada, Ms Mo encouraged the students to act as an ambassador of Hong Kong, grasp the valuable opportunities to learn and equip themselves during their studies for the ultimate goal of pursuing their dreams.
As a festive get-together party for Hong Kong students, Ms Mo took the opportunity to wish everyone a fruitful and prosperous Year of the Snake.
