Plans call for a seamless cross-border environment

Joint projects between Shenzhen and Hong Kong are expected to make breakthroughs this year in technological innovation, financial cooperation and construction of cross-boundary infrastructure.

The governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen established a task force in March to speed up joint development of a 99-hectare border zone known as the Lok Ma Chau Loop.

The joint task force agreed that meetings will be held every six months to discuss planning and development of the zone, which lies between the boundaries of the two cities.
