Mainland China and Hong Kong signed "the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters by the Court of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Pursuant to Choice of Court Agreements between Parties Concerned". Hong Kong's Secretary for Justice said the Arrangement would "strengthen Hong Kong's position as a regional center for dispute resolution". A senior judge of the Supreme People's Court expressed hope that recognition and enforcement would be extended to other matters such as labour and matrimonial cases.
