Forum discusses huge potential for Greater Bay Area

The authorities in Hong Kong are working closely and proactively with central government departments to take forward new policies to unleash the innovation and technological potential of inter-regional cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Speaking at the forum themed "Belt and Road Conference: Tapping Belt and Road Opportunities in the Greater Bay Area" organized by China Daily and the Silk Road Economic Development Research Center, Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew Cheung Kin-chung said "the aim is to develop the Greater Bay Area into the Silicon Valley of China".

"Leveraging our advantage in scientific research, internationalization, our robust legal system, rule of law and our status as an international financial, business and logistics center, Hong Kong is in an excellent position to contribute to the national strategy of innovation-driven development, namely the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area into an international innovation and technology hub," Cheung said.
