Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng met a delegation led by Henry Tang, the Hong Kong
Financial Secretary, at the Radisson Plaza Xing Guo Hotel yesterday, to
commemorate the launch of Hong KongĄ¯s Economic and Trade Office in Shanghai.
Han extended a warm welcome to Tang on behalf of the city government and the
local residents.
Shanghai and Hong Kong have maintained cooperation and exchanges on the basis

Shanghai has gained a lot of experience from Hong Kong in trade, investment
and finance sectors, as well as in some leading projects, he added.
Han believes that the launch of the Economic and Trade Office in Shanghai
will further enhance cooperation between the two sides.
Tang thanked the city government for its support on establishing the office.
