Hong Kong and South Korea have signed a memorandum of understanding intended to lead to greater co-operation in cultural industries including film and TV.
The deal was signed in Seoul by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-deok, and Hk’s Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Gregory So.
“The Mou provides a framework to facilitate exchanges and co-operation… through activities such as information and human resource exchanges, education, training, research and the facilitation of business matching,” said a Hk government announcement.
“This is the beginning of things, not the destination,” a Hk government spokesman told Variety. But it is not clear whether the agreement will be expanded to include further bilateral agreements on film and TV co-productions.
Hong Kong can sign trade agreements, but is not able to sign treaties as it is not a sovereign power, and belongs to China.
