HONG KONG, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE SPANISH CHAMBER

In 2016, the Chamber will turn 25 which means a historic celebration, and to celebrate this special milestone, it is our pleasure to have our upcoming Gala Dinner on the evening 3rd of December. This will be a very unique celebration since we will have the privilege to host the Friends of Spain Awards for the first time in Hong Kong. 

FRIENDS OF SPAIN AWARDS

For the first time in Hong Kong, the High Commissioner of the Government for the Marca Espana (Spain Brand), together with the Foro de Marcas Renombradas, the Spanish Consulate and all other Spanish institutions in Hong Kong will give the awards "Friends of Spain" to companies and individuals who have been particularly friendly to Spain over the years.

Marca Espana is a long term State policy, aimed at strengthening our country's image, both among Spanish citizens and beyond Spanish borders. It promotes and coordinates the activities of all public and private organizations aimed to the promotion of the image of Spain. These are really prestigious awards being given at the highest level and it is an honour to have this ceremony as part of our program.

The Secretary of State and High Commissioner of the Government for the Marca Espana (Spain Brand) Carlos Espinosa De los Monteros will preside the ceremony that will take place this coming Thursday. The main awardees of the evening will be:

Hutchison Port Holding
Cathay Pacific
Wharf T&T

Arts Festival

All of them have shown great friendship towards Spain over the years in different fields (investment, arts, tourism) and so they are being recognized by Spain as friends. After these recognition, the Spanish brands will also recognize some of the persons who have been most friendly to them so that the whole evening is a celebration of the Friends of Spain as a country and the Friends of the Spanish brands.
