HKETO celebrated Chinese New Year in Australia and New Zealand
To celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Rooster, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office co-hosted Chinese New Year Receptions with Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Invest Hong Kong, Hong Kong Australia Business Association and Hong Kong New Zealand Business Association in major cities of Australia and New Zealand this month. Business, community and political leaders were invited to join the celebrations. Read more about the receptions here.
To share the joy of the Chinese New Year with members of the public in Australia and New Zealand, HKETO participated in large-scale community events in the two countries. In Australia, HKETO once again formed the Hong Kong Team to participate in the City of Sydney’s Dragon Boat Races held in Darling Harbour on 12 February, and seized the third place in the Community/Not-for-profit race. In New Zealand, HKETO participated in the Auckland Lantern Festival (9 to 12 February) and the Christchurch Lantern Festival (17 to 19 February) where giant lanterns were displayed, showcasing the diversity, energy and spirits of Hong Kong.
