International conference and exhibition Logistics HK will be held at the Convention & Exhibition Centre from May 18 to 20, further enhancing our status as a leading global logistics hub.

The event is sponsored by the Logistics Development Council, which held a meeting today reviewing progress in major initiatives and to discuss key tasks to be pursued next year.

Council chairman and Secretary for Economic Development & Labour Stephen Ip said the implementation of CEPA promises new opportunities for Hong Kong logistics service providers in the growing Mainland market.

"I am confident that our enterprises and practitioners will leverage their proven skills and capitalise on the growing demands for their service," he said, adding that the resilience of the logistics industry has withstood the SARS challenge and reinforced our vital position as Asia's premiere transportation and logistics hub.
