Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) is like a big office that represents the government of Hong Kong in other countries. Think of it like having a special helper that speaks for Hong Kong in other places.

The main job of the HKETO is to help the government of Hong Kong with all sorts of trade and economic (money) stuff. This includes helping Hong Kong businesses trade with other countries and make partnerships with companies from other places.

Sometimes, people from Hong Kong might want to go and visit or work in a different country for a little while. The HKETO helps them with information and advice on how to do that. They can even help people from other countries who want to go to Hong Kong.

The HKETO also helps keep Hong Kong's relationship with other countries friendly and positive. They make sure people in other places know how great and important Hong Kong is, and help them understand the many good things people in Hong Kong do every day.

So, the HKETO is like an ambassador for Hong Kong, making sure people from other countries are happy to work with Hong Kong, and helping Hong Kong's economy grow stronger.
