Mr Tang said the relevant work has made important achievements and expressed the hope that the three places will sign the agreement in Hong Kong in the near future, and formulate the new Greater Bay Area Emergency Response and Rescue Operational Plan, so as to consolidate resources for emergency response among the cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to enhance the efficacy of cross-boundary rescue efforts.

     Mr Tang also called on Vice-Governor of the Guangdong Province and Director of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, Mr Liu Guozhou, to brief him on the latest developments of the relevant matters of the HKSAR, including the recent completion of the local legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law to improve the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security. They discussed deepening co-operation in different areas, including combating cross-boundary crimes and illegal immigration, as well as emergency management, flow of talent, and training and exchanges, to enhance collaborative development and law enforcement capabilities of the two places.

     In the morning in Shenzhen, Mr Tang called on Vice Mayor of Shenzhen and Director General of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau, Mr Zhao Yong. Mr Tang expressed gratitude to Mr Zhao for his support for the work of the Security Bureau and its disciplinary services. They also exchanged views on areas such as strengthening police co-operation, facilitating flow of people and combating crimes, especially deception, in the hope of jointly taking forward major areas of work. Mr Tang then visited the Shenzhen Bay Service Center of Nanshan Branch of the Public Security Bureau to learn about the convenient one-stop service offered to the public.
