    HKTDC's promotion campaign in Italy / New WestK Ferry / Building a comprehensive retirement system

    Presenters:Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we talked to a director of the Trade Development Council about its "Think Business, Think Hong Kong" mega promotion campaign in Milan, Italy, later this month. This comes as a recent survey found that many Italian companies are interested in expanding into Hong Kong and mainland markets in the next few years. 

    Separately, the council is organising a two-day Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
    After the break, we heard from the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority about its new pier -- WestK Quay -- and the WestK ferry service which just launched on Saturday.

    And finally, we talked to a think tank about how Hong Kong can develop a better and more comprehensive retirement system.
