Hong Kong chief executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen Tuesday encouraged west China's leading companies to list on the region's stock market, one of the world's largest in terms of market capitalization.

Tsang made the remarks while visiting Guizhou Xinbang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. on Tuesday afternoon, where he learned that the company featured with traditional Chinese medicine research and development has not got into the international market.

The chief executive later visited China Alumnimium Co., Ltd Guizhou Branch and marveled at the advanced technology of paper-like aluminum rods production.

Leading a 150-member delegation of government officials and local business leaders, the chief executive arrived in Guiyang, capital of southwest China's Guizhou Province on Tuesday morning, kicking off a two-day study tour in the province.

This is the third time the chief executive led a business delegation to the Pan-Pearl River Delta region following visits to Guangxi and Hunan earlier this year. During his visit to Guizhou, Tsang will attend the Hong Kong-Guizhou Business Co-operation Symposium and the Hong Kong-Guizhou Tourism Seminar.
