CE arrives in Beijing for talks
17-12-2008
The Chief Executive, Donald Tsang, has arrived in Beijing for his annual duty visit. It's his first official meeting with state leaders since the global financial crisis started to affect Hong Kong. He will meet President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao on Friday. He's expected to seek Beijing's further support to help ease the impact of the global financial crisis on Hong Kong. Measures that have been suggested include expanding Hong Kong's renminbi business, as well as increasing the quota for mainland visitors to the city. Tomorrow, he's due to attend celebrations marking the 30th anniversary of China's 'open door' economic policy.
