Cayetano seeks better ties with Hong Kong

FOREIGN Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano has offered to help investors from Hong Kong explore opportunities in the Philippines, including the possible opening of an Economic and Trade office in Manila to strengthen relations with the former British colony.

Cayetano made the offer when he met Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-Ngor of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Friday. During the meeting, he discussed the enhancement of economic relations between the Philippines and Hong Kong, as well as the improvement of cultural cooperation, people-to-people exchanges, and matters related to the Filipino Community in Hong Kong.
