The Hong Kong-Taiwan Economic and Cultural Co-operation Promotion Council will soon be established for both sides to discuss collaboration possibilities, said Hong Kong Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Stephen Lam on Friday.

Speaking at the Hong Kong International Airport on Friday before departing for Taichung City of Taiwan, Lam told reporters once the body is established, Taiwan will form the Taiwan-Hong Kong Economic and Cultural Co-operation Council.

Lam said that the move will provide a platform for the authorities on both sides to conduct discussions and explore possibilities for co-operation in public policy matters and other spheres which are of mutual concern and interest.

Hong Kong Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Rita Lau is joining Lam on the trip, which will promote Hong Kong tourism and explore possibilities in Hong Kong-Taichung co- operation.
