Daniel Lam, 39, is the new director of the Frankfurt office of the HKTDC, or Hong Kong Trade Development Council. He is replacing Wing Sham, 45, who is moving to the head office in Hong Kong. The competency of Lore Buscher, who works in Frankfurt as the regional director for Central Europe, is not affected by these changes. The HKTDC negotiates commercial links between companies in Germany and Hong Kong. The organisation stages 15 international events as part of its activities.
