Hong Kong was contemplating to open a country representative office in India to boost bilateral ties, an official said Tuesday.
"Hong Kong does not have any direct government office in India. There is a plan to open one in Mumbai which could be similar to a consulate," Invest Hong Kong director general Stephen Phillips said on the sidelines of an interactive session with The Bengal Chamber.
He, however, did not divulge anything about a timeline for the proposal.
At present only, an investment promotion office "Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK)" is operational in Mumbai, one of the 30 such offices located globally, he said.
Hong Kong is now governed by China under the principle of "one country, two systems", where the city would enjoy "a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs."
