Xinhua, December 21, 2016 Adjust font size:

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday met with Leung Chun-ying, chief executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, to discuss the Belt and Road Initiative and expanding foreign contacts.

Hong Kong is an international city experienced in finance, trade, management and legal services, which can play a complementary role with the mainland in the construction of the Belt and Road, Leung said.

Wang said that with its regional advantages and professionalism, Hong Kong can contribute to the Belt and Road national strategy, which in return will boost the development of Hong Kong.

Wang said the ministry will provide support for Hong Kong's participation and help expand foreign contacts and cooperation. Endi
