Warmest Greetings.

It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the Latin Desk, CWCC, to extend our best wishes to our friends. The Latin Desk
has been established since February 6, 2006 for five years, thanks to the support and help given to me by organizations
and individuals in Latin America, Europe, Hong Kong and China.

Developing overseas emerging markets is always top of my agenda and my ties with the Latin community first started
here in Hong Kong and I would just love to know more Latin friends and their culture. Though the sounds of salsa, the
Mexican tequila, the very special smell of Colombian coffee, the cuisine of Peru, the vineyards of Chile, the samba of
Brazil and the tango of Argentina were all new to me, but I believe it’s the old common values of family, friends, love
and harmony - proven to be durable across classes, races and cultures - that have bonded me to the Latin people.

We all talk about China these days and the signing of two major agreements between Hong Kong and Mainland China
last year further signifies the increased collaboration between the two sides, which are determined to make Hong Kong
and the Pearl River Delta even more competitive in the world economy.

In April 2010, the Framework Agreement on Hong Kong/Guangdong Co-operation was signed and it opens up new
possibilities, covering economic, social, livelihood and other fields. It also embraces concrete policies, measures and
projects, especially in finance, health care, education and training, transportation, environmental protection, techno-
logical innovation and special planning.

In May 2010, Hong Kong and Mainland China signed the Supplement VII to the Closer Economic Partnership Ar-
rangement (CEPA), enabling further liberalization of trade in different service industries. Among 14 service industries
being relaxed under the supplement, the major five industries are medical services, tourism, banking, securities, and
construction. Liberalized trade and investment measures can help promote faster growth and make the two places even
more promising. In brief, the two progressive documents point to a very bright economic future for Hong Kong and
Mainland China together.

It is crystal clear that the rapidly growing China has now transformed to one of the top economic powers in the world,
and a business partnership with China has become increasingly important as it can contribute to a company’s success.
With the establishment of our Latin Desk five years ago, we can provide professional services to overseas Latin and
European clients who are interested in doing business in China using Hong Kong as the platform, which is a well rec-
ognized formula.

I am graced to have a wide international network and strong collaborative relationships with banks, consulates, cham-
bers of commerce from the Latin countries and needless to say, I am indebted to all my Latin friends for their unfailing
support given to me all these years and who toil tirelessly helping me to fulfill my Latin Dream, with the ultimate aim
of making the world a better place, a more caring, a more tolerant and a more charitable community.

With every good wish,

 Actively participating in events
 organised by Latin American and
 European institutions.
 We want to express our deepest
 gratitude to all of them and our
 willingness to continue working
 together in the spirit of:
                                             Laying
 “Faith, Service and Community”
                                         foundations
We all know that the Latin America countries
have been forging closer and stronger ties with
China these few years. This is good for both
China and Latin America and of course, also
for Hong Kong.

We stand at this crossroads of history, the eyes
of all people over the world are watching us,
watching Hong Kong and China. Sometimes
it’s easy to lose sight of this truth and trend, to
become doubtful and skeptical what role we,
the Latin Desk, can play.

But we know one thing, that we must always
go along with the trend and for sure, we know
what role we can play, doing our little part
through our Latin Platform, bringing Latin
America, Europe, Hong Kong and China
more closer today, resulting in a better life for
everyone.



Todos sabemos que en mayor o menor
medida, en los últimos años, los países
Latinoamericanos han incrementado sus
esfuerzos de consolidar sus relaciones políticas
y comerciales con China. Esto es bueno tanto
para China como América Latina y, por su-
puesto, también para Hong Kong.

Nos encontramos en una encrucijada de la
historia, los ojos del mundo entero están so-
bre nosotros, observando Hong Kong y China.
A veces es fácil perder de vista la realidad e
ignorar la tendencia, y pueden aparecer la duda
y el escepticismo del papel que podemos jugar.

Sabemos bien lo qué nos apasiona, y por
supuesto también sabemos el rol que debemos
jugar en este momento de la historia.

A     través   de     nuestro   Latin    Desk,
continuaremos haciendo lo que nos apasiona,
y esa es nuestra contribución por ayudar a em-
presarios de América Latina y Europa a hacer
negocios con China y Hong Kong, y viceversa.

CWCC - Latin Desk - 5 Years Anniversary

  • 1. Latin Desk Your home away from home 5 Grasping opportunities, developing markets Celebramos and laying foundations for Latin American and 5 años European companies in Hong Kong and China Years Anniversary February 6, 2011 Consultancy ● Advisory ● Support
  • 2. Thomas Wong Latin Desk Partner Founding Partner CWCC Certified Public Accountants Warmest Greetings. It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the Latin Desk, CWCC, to extend our best wishes to our friends. The Latin Desk has been established since February 6, 2006 for five years, thanks to the support and help given to me by organizations and individuals in Latin America, Europe, Hong Kong and China. Developing overseas emerging markets is always top of my agenda and my ties with the Latin community first started here in Hong Kong and I would just love to know more Latin friends and their culture. Though the sounds of salsa, the Mexican tequila, the very special smell of Colombian coffee, the cuisine of Peru, the vineyards of Chile, the samba of Brazil and the tango of Argentina were all new to me, but I believe it’s the old common values of family, friends, love and harmony - proven to be durable across classes, races and cultures - that have bonded me to the Latin people. We all talk about China these days and the signing of two major agreements between Hong Kong and Mainland China last year further signifies the increased collaboration between the two sides, which are determined to make Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta even more competitive in the world economy. In April 2010, the Framework Agreement on Hong Kong/Guangdong Co-operation was signed and it opens up new possibilities, covering economic, social, livelihood and other fields. It also embraces concrete policies, measures and projects, especially in finance, health care, education and training, transportation, environmental protection, techno- logical innovation and special planning. In May 2010, Hong Kong and Mainland China signed the Supplement VII to the Closer Economic Partnership Ar- rangement (CEPA), enabling further liberalization of trade in different service industries. Among 14 service industries being relaxed under the supplement, the major five industries are medical services, tourism, banking, securities, and construction. Liberalized trade and investment measures can help promote faster growth and make the two places even more promising. In brief, the two progressive documents point to a very bright economic future for Hong Kong and Mainland China together. It is crystal clear that the rapidly growing China has now transformed to one of the top economic powers in the world, and a business partnership with China has become increasingly important as it can contribute to a company’s success. With the establishment of our Latin Desk five years ago, we can provide professional services to overseas Latin and European clients who are interested in doing business in China using Hong Kong as the platform, which is a well rec- ognized formula. I am graced to have a wide international network and strong collaborative relationships with banks, consulates, cham- bers of commerce from the Latin countries and needless to say, I am indebted to all my Latin friends for their unfailing support given to me all these years and who toil tirelessly helping me to fulfill my Latin Dream, with the ultimate aim of making the world a better place, a more caring, a more tolerant and a more charitable community. With every good wish, Thomas Wong February 6, 2011

  • 14. We all know that the Latin America countries have been forging closer and stronger ties with China these few years. This is good for both China and Latin America and of course, also for Hong Kong. We stand at this crossroads of history, the eyes of all people over the world are watching us, watching Hong Kong and China. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of this truth and trend, to become doubtful and skeptical what role we, the Latin Desk, can play. But we know one thing, that we must always go along with the trend and for sure, we know what role we can play, doing our little part through our Latin Platform, bringing Latin America, Europe, Hong Kong and China more closer today, resulting in a better life for everyone. Todos sabemos que en mayor o menor medida, en los últimos años, los países Latinoamericanos han incrementado sus esfuerzos de consolidar sus relaciones políticas y comerciales con China. Esto es bueno tanto para China como América Latina y, por su- puesto, también para Hong Kong. Nos encontramos en una encrucijada de la historia, los ojos del mundo entero están so- bre nosotros, observando Hong Kong y China. A veces es fácil perder de vista la realidad e ignorar la tendencia, y pueden aparecer la duda y el escepticismo del papel que podemos jugar. Sabemos bien lo qué nos apasiona, y por supuesto también sabemos el rol que debemos jugar en este momento de la historia. A través de nuestro Latin Desk, continuaremos haciendo lo que nos apasiona, y esa es nuestra contribución por ayudar a em- presarios de América Latina y Europa a hacer negocios con China y Hong Kong, y viceversa.
