Greater Bay Area creates vibrant economic engine

Authorities in Guangdong province, an economic juggernaut in South China, will accelerate a special plan to develop the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and provide firm policy support and fresh opportunities for the 11-city cluster, according to a senior provincial government official.

"The major task this year is to make all-out efforts to push forward development of the Greater Bay Area, which will help lift the province to a higher level of opening up," said Ma Xingrui, governor of Guangdong.

Ma made the remark while delivering a government work report during the annual provincial legislative meeting, which opened on Monday.
