British Products Exhibtion
8.
As part of the official opening celebrations the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, through its Chairman, Miss Lydia Dunn, has invited the DTI to set up an exhibition of British products and services on a theme still to be agreed. Alongside the British exhibition the Council will run a Hong Kong exhibition, the theme of
which will be the electronics industry.

However, the BOTB/DTI are taking the occasion very seriously and hope to be able to make a positive decision to go ahead with the exhibition by August or September.
