Beijing keeps stepping up efforts to attract investment. Recently, a multinational enterprises meeting aimed to promote investment in Beijing was held in Hong Kong jointly by Beijing Investment Promotion Service Center, Beijing Municipal Commerce Bureau and Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

In the event, the "Two Zones" development and Beijing's green finance and other preferential policies were introduced to enterprises in Hong Kong together with investment opportunities in the capital's Xicheng, Daxing and Tongzhou districts as well as the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. Preliminary consensus on investment or cooperation has been reached for more than ten projects based on previous visits and communication as well as this promotion event.

Specifically, Beijing's investment promotion delegation introduced the main achievements of the 25th Beijing-Hong Kong Economic Cooperation Symposium. Beijing's investment environment and opportunities and the key areas of cooperation between Beijing and Hong Kong were elaborated from two aspects: Beijing's current economic development featuring the incorporation of the five key projects for development into the new development paradigm, and the vast space for cooperation between Beijing and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council also shared experience in economic and trade cooperation between Beijing and Hong Kong. The Beijing delegation then had one-on-one negotiation and communication with the enterprises with investment intentions. About 60 guests attended the event, including heads of Hong Kong business associations and their member enterprises, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank's Hong Kong branch as well as representatives of Hong Kong's mainstream media.
