Participants' Comments

Mr. Michael Chiu
Chairman
Hong Kong Business Association, Vietnam (HKBAV)

"It is our pleasure and honour to host the first forum in Vietnam. I believe the tie between Hong Kong Business Associations in Southeast Asia are strengthened after this forum and I look forward to more joint functions in the near future."


Mr. John Hickin
Member
Hong Kong Business Association, Vietnam (HKBAV)
"I was very pleased to participate and to present a paper at the forum, and I am sure that all would agree that the forum was both a productive and enjoyable exercise.

JSM is of course always happy to participate in this kind of event and to assist Hong Kong companies in their dealings in Vietnam and elsewhere."


Mr. Raymond Cheng
General Committee Member
Hong Kong Business Association, Vietnam (HKBAV)

"The SEA Forum was indeed an exciting event. The event would not have been possible without the support and endorsement of TDC, and the participation of Thailand and Singapore Associations. Our thanks to all of them.

We hope that the Federation will support this to be a regular event for the future; we also hope the SEA Region Associations can be more active in the promotion of the Federation and Hong Kong trades."

Mr. K. L. Tsang
Vice President
Hong Kong Singapore Business Association (HSBA)

"The forum was, indeed, very successful and we would like to take this opportunity to thank TDC for their support. "1 plus 1 equals 3" was what I had highlighted in my address. Now the groundwork is laid, and spin-off effects await to be seen. We shall keep TDC informed of future success stories in Southeast Asia"

Mr. Charles Cheung
President
Thai Hong Kong Trade Association (THTA)

"I can readily understand how TDC has earned the respect and admiration of everyone in Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide - because TDC really cares. I really feel we have a good start. Apart from adding colour, energy and synergy to the three Hong Kong Business Associations, the experience we gained could certainly enhance our organizing capabilities for the future events. More exchanges could mean more benefits to members, then attract more members and create even stronger Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide."

Mrs. Dennie Soong
Member
Thai-Hong Kong Trade Association (THTA)

"Thank you; it was both an informative and enjoyable event and gave us much information and contacts that we otherwise would not have had. The Hong Kong Vietnam Business Association should really be given the credit for taking the initiative. We look forward to many such events to come."
