A top financial official from Hong Kong is set to visit Britain in April in the first ministerial-level visit by an official of the Chinese-ruled territory in more than three years, the government said on Tuesday.
The move follows the "Hello Hong Kong" promotion campaign kicked off in March to woo back visitors and investors after three years of stringent COVID-19 rules decimated the economy.
He will meet senior officials, financial and business leaders of both nations, as well as officials of the European Commission, the government said in a statement. The former British colony has had strained relations with Britain since its anti-government and pro- democratic protests in 2019.
