The Better Hong Kong Foundation, with a mission to bring prosperity to Hong Kong, regularly invites trade representatives from around the world to keep them abreast of the latest developments in Hong Kong.
The United States is one of Hong Kong’s most important trading partners. The Foundation is honored to have Governor Paul Cellucci of the State of Massachusetts visit Hong Kong in these few days along with Senator Stephen Lynch and Representative William McManus. He will also lead a high-powered 29-member business delegation, with many influential businessmen in areas such as technology, finance, ports and construction, to understand the current financial, commercial, social and political developments here, and to explore possible business opportunities.
Mr. Cellucci has served as Governor of Massachusetts since July 1997. The 1973 Boston College Law School graduate has served in the U.S. Army Reserves, practiced law for 17 years and has worked with his family’s auto dealership for almost 30 years. He was elected to the Massachusetts Senate in 1984, and during this third term became Assistant Republican Leader.
Mr. Cellucci is a strong advocate for smaller government and lower taxes. He has signed the largest tax cut in Massachusetts’ history and has also been a leader in education reform, access to health care and the fight against domestic violence.
The Better Hong Kong Foundation is a privately funded, non-profit, non-political organization, formed by leading Hong Kong business people to reinforce Hong Kong’s role as the leading regional, financial, shipping, trading, communication and technology center. The Foundation also serves to enhance greater international understanding between East and West by facilitating communications between Hong Kong, China and the international community.
