An investment research delegation from the Chinese mainland will participate in the Forum of Global Business Strategies of Chinese CEOs, which will be held in Hong Kong on Thursday.

According to a government press release available in Hong Kong Wednesday, the delegation, led by Zhao Chuang, deputy director-general of the foreign economic co-operation department of the Ministry of Commerce, comprises 30 delegates including CEOs from prominent mainland enterprises.

The forum will foster in-depth understanding among potential mainland investors of the strategies for expanding their business,using Hong Kong as the platform to go global, the press release said.

Hong Kong's Director-General of Investment Promotion Mike Rowse was quoted as saying that mainland enterprises have become one of

Hong Kong's major sources of inward investment.

Last year, 17 percent of the investment projects facilitated by InvestHK came from mainland enterprises. The facilitation policy launched by the Ministry of Commerce last year has opened up new opportunities for more mainland investment.
