CE meets Philippine senate president

Chief Executive John Lee today met visiting Philippine Senate President Juan Miguel Fernandez Zubiri to exchange views on matters of common interest.   Mr Lee said Hong Kong and the Philippines have maintained close exchanges and co-operation in various fields such as trade, investment and finance, and that Hong Kong is an important trading and investment partner for the Philippines and other Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries. He encouraged more Philippine enterprises and talent to develop in Hong Kong and make better use of its professional services and internationalised business environment for expanding into Mainland markets, including those of the Greater Bay Area.   As the city is striving for early entry to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, the Chief Executive thanked the Philippines for its support in Hong Kong’s bid for accession. http://dlvr.it/SplQxC

Fishing vessel subsidy set

The Government will provide an $80,000 subsidy under the Anti-epidemic Fund to eligible owners of each fishing vessel or fish collector vessel with Mainland deckhands.   The Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Department today said the Government decided to provide further financial relief to those owners as local fishing vessels and fish collector vessels with Mainland deckhands are still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in resuming operation.   About 1,700 eligible vessels are expected to benefit from the subsidy.   Applications for the subsidy will open on November 1 and the deadline is February 28, 2023. Details and forms will be available later on the department’s website.   It will also send application details to the trade via letters, SMS and fishermen organisations, and provide assistance as appropriate.   Call 9308 5022 or 9308 5012 for enquiries.
