CE meets Governor of Guangdong Province (with photos)
*****************************************************
Mrs Lam welcomed Mr Ma's visit to Hong Kong with his delegation. She said that Hong Kong and Guangdong have all along had close ties and co-operation and that this is the fifth time she has met Mr Ma to discuss ways to deepen co-operation between Hong Kong and Guangdong since she assumed office on July 1 last year.
Noting that ties between the two places will be more convenient with the forthcoming promulgation and implementation of the development plan for the Bay Area and the commissioning of three cross-boundary infrastructure projects in the coming 12 months, she expressed the hope that Hong Kong and Guangdong will continue to explore further exchanges and collaboration in various aspects including city management, healthcare, education and innovation and technology.
Thanking the Guangdong Provincial Government for making arrangements for her upcoming visit to Shenzhen, Zhongshan and Zhuhai, and the visit by Legislative Council members to five cities in the Bay Area next month, she said she believes that these visits will deepen the understanding of the Bay Area’s latest situation and future development by various sectors in Hong Kong. Mrs Lam said the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government will actively promote the opportunities brought about by the Bay Area’s development to the business community, professionals and members of the public in Hong Kong, and added that the HKSAR Government will also invite the Guangdong Provincial Government to jointly organise promotional activities overseas to publicise the combined advantages and tremendous business opportunities of the Bay Area to attract foreign investment and talent.
