The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Washington, DC, was established in 1987, largely in response to draft legislation before Congress threatening to reduce Hong Kong's textiles and garment quota. The office continued to have an active role on congressional issues likely to affect Hong Kong.
The office also maintains good working relations with the US administration, including the State Department, the Department of Commerce, the US Treasury, the US Trade Representatives' Office, the US Customs & Border Protectionand the Justice Department. The issues being dealt with include textile quota, intellectual property rights, strategic trade, World Trade Organization, APEC, trade promotion, investment protection and financial issues.
The office also has a public relations role to explain what is happening in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. We have a widening network of media and welcome more. We issue a monthly newsletter called "The Circle" because we use it to communicate with the circle of Hong Kong friends in Washington, DC.
Do not hesitate to contact any of us for information about Hong Kong - its business environment and its position on economic and trade issues, etc. For media inquiries, please contact our Senior Information Officer Mr. Daniel McAtee.
