Hong Kong shares rose on Friday on optimism over China's reopening and following news of progress in auditing talks between US and Chinese officials, which eased fears of a possible delisting from New York of big names such as Alibaba and Tencent.

The Hang Seng Index added 0.4 percent, or 82 points, to 19,450.

The Shanghai Composite Index was flat, inching down 0.8 points to 3,167, while the Shenzhen Composite Index slipped 0.8 percent, or 15 points, to 2,039. (AFP)
