The logistics industry is one of the pillars of the Hong Kong economy, according to the Hong Kong Logistics Development Council (HKLDC).

HKLDC, a government-appointed committee that advises on logistics development policies, has organised an exhibition and conference next week, titled Logistics Hong Kong, in response to industry demand for an event targeting the Hong Kong and Asian logistics markets.

Logistics Hong Kong, from May 18 to May 20, is pitched at Hong Kong and mainland China's logistics players and international suppliers keen to penetrate the Hong Kong and broader Asian markets.

The inaugural event will also be an opportunity for those who wish to know more about the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement forged between Hong Kong and mainland China.
