Chinese Vice-President Zeng Qinghong met an inspection team composed of businessmen from Hong Kong and Macao on Sunday, encouraging them to seek more business opportunities in the traditional industrial base in Northeast China and to contribute to its revitalization.

The team, including over 120 tycoons from famous Hong Kong or Macao financial groups, prestigious lawyers and accountants, as well as related government officials, arrived in Beijing on Sunday and will start from Monday a week-long inspection tour around Dalian, Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin, which are all northeastern cities.

Zeng noted that the northeast region became a cradle for industry since new China was founded in 1949, and was also a major production base of grain, petroleum, lumber, steel and coal.

"With a vast tract of land, the region possesses rich resources, developed traffic and various talents, while Hong Kong and Macao are superior in capital, technologies, management and professional services. The two side can supplement each other if strengthening economic cooperation," Zeng said.

He encouraged the team to pursue more commercial opportunities in the old industrial base and to contribute good ideas and advices to its revitalization.

He said that Hong Kong and Macao businessmen deserved appreciation as they had made great contributions to the reform and progress of the mainland as well as the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao.
