There will be seven other members in the delegation, who work in different departments in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A government spokesman said this was one in a series of sponsored visits between China and Hong Kong.
"The objective of the sponsored visit programme is to enhance mutual understanding of Chinese and Hong Kong Government officials on each other's systems," he said.
The delegation will be briefed by senior Hong Kong government officials on policies relating to matters such as infrastructure development, economic, trade, and the civil service.

1996 Population By-census to commence
The 1996 Population By-census will be conducted from March 16 to 24 for the purpose of obtaining up-to-date information on the demographic, social and economic characteristics of the population.
About one-seventh of all households in Hong Kong will be selected for enumeration.
The Commissioner for Census and Statistics, Mr Frederick Ho, appealed to members of the public for co-operation and support, asking sampled households to provide accurate information at the interviews.
Other people could help in facilitating the enumerators' work, he added.
"Statistics compiled from the information collected in the by-census are vital to Government in planning, particularly in such fields as housing, education, transport, medical care and social services, and to the private sector in formulating business strategies," said Mr Ho.
"Through assisting the by-census, every member of the public directly or indirectly helps build a better Hong Kong."
