HONG KONG, May 20 Asia Pulse - A mission of 43 garments and footwear Hong Kong businesses visited Vietnam and Cambodia early this month to seek opportunities for their business in those countries.

The Hong Kong Garment and Footwear Partnership mission looked at infrastructure, facilities, services and operational practices of both countries, according to a Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) press release.

HKTDC Product Promotion Director Ralph Chow said the visit was organised to help Hong Kong garment and shoe manufacturers explore the possibility of relocating their factories to Vietnam and Cambodia.

Legent Footwear Director Larry Lau said the delegation's visit to the countries was useful.

"The mission provided us with opportunities to network with local industry players and officials," Lau said, adding "That will be very helpful when are making our investment decisions."
