The ‘Who’s and Who’ views at our past forums
From the City and County of Honolulu Website - Press Release - June 5, 2014
“China has the faster growing economy in the world and the country’s GDP is now second only to the United States,“ said Mayor Kirk
Caldwell. “This forum is a great resource for the people of Oahu to learn how to tap into emerging economic opportunities in China
and Hong Kong.”

From The City and County of Honolulu News and Event Press Release - May 11, 2010
“Hawaii’s geographic location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean means that our state is strategically positioned to play a major intermediary role for economic dialogue between our two nations respectively” Mayor Hannemann said at the Mayor Welcomes Business
Leaders to Hawaii-US-Hong Kong Forum. “More importantly, this forum brings leaders on both sides of the Pacific Rim into Hawaii.
This helps to further reinforce the notion that we are the ‘Geneva of the Pacific,’ a place of mutual business exchange between the US
and Asia. Ultimately, it is leaders like all of you who will build the businesses and conduct the trade that will spur the growth of oureconomies…"
From Former Secretary Gary Locke, US Department of Commerce"This valuable event provides an exciting and informative opportunity to gain insight into doing business in Hong Kong and throughout China, make new business contacts and, perhaps, find new business opportunities in this important market. There is no better
time to recognize the importance of trade..."From Lawrence Tang, Head of Investment Promotion, Invest Hong Kong
“The forum definitely achieved its primary goal of highlighting ‘Hong Kong: Asia's World City That Makes It Happen’ as well as allowing the participants to gain the latest market intelligence and business opportunities for success in Hong Kong and mainland China.
Everyone enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of Honolulu and the well organized and smooth proceeding of the whole forum. The
forum is informative and the evening networking function with fireworks adds to our memory of the program in Honolulu…”
