China plans to accelerate the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cooperation platforms, says a development plan.
Efforts should be made to enhance the functions of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong modern service industry cooperation zone in Qianhai of Shenzhen and develop Nansha of Guangzhou into a demonstration zone for comprehensive cooperation among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, says the plan.
The efforts also include taking forward the demonstration functions of Hengqin of Zhuhai for in-depth cooperation among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and developing special cooperation platforms.
The plan aims to accelerate the development of major platforms such as Qianhai of Shenzhen, Nansha of Guangzhou and Hengqin of Zhuhai, and fully leverage their experimental and demonstration functions in deepening reform, expanding the scope of opening-up and fostering cooperation.
It also aims to expand the development potential of Hong Kong and Macao, promote collaboration in public services, and spearhead comprehensive cooperation among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
China on Monday issued the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The plan, an important outline document guiding the current and future cooperation and development of the Greater Bay Area, covers the period from now to 2022 in the immediate term and extends to 2035 in the long term.
