Saigon Pearl, a luxury residential, business, shopping and entertainment development, is one of the largest projects of its kind in Ho Chi Minh City. The project is another effort by Sunwah Group to embed another iconic development into a much-loved skyline in Ho Chi Minh City after Sun Wah Tower and to introduce high-rise quality living to local people.

Sitting on the border of District 1 of the city, the Saigon Pearl development project includes the construction of eight twin apartment buildings. To serve the local and also the neighbourhood community at large, the project also includes the construction of 40,000 square-metre retail and recreational facilities including clubhouses, a large-scale shopping complex with shops, supermarkets, cinemas and other entertainment components. Professional services, from architects to interior designers, were hired from Hong Kong to ensure the project adheres to international construction standards.

Hong Kong was created as a trading post of the British East India Company for 19th century China trade. A new China trade is flowing, much bigger than the one before, which is what the Belt and Road signifies. It is natural that Hong Kong should again be a major node for it. Hong Kong has strong links to China and the rest of Northeast Asia. For Hong Kong to be a super connector for the new China trade, it must also develop strong links to the rest of Asia, in particular, to Southeast, South and West Asia. Hong Kong's full range of capabilities can then be brought into full play. 

Riding on the Initiative and taking advantage of ASEAN’s economic integration, Kerry Logistics continues to expand its ASEAN-wide cross-border road transportation network – KART which connects regional MNCs in ASEAN with the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. One of the company’s successful showcases is a well-known toothpaste brand in which Kerry Logistics transports the raw materials in barrels packing (e.g. sodium salt, calcium salt) from the origin in Kunming to the client’s factory in Bangkok through the Kunming-Bangkok highway. Compared to the traditional land-sea solution – from Kunming to Guangdong by land and then to Bangkok by sea, the client can significantly shorten the transportation lead time from two weeks to less than four days.
