Greater Bay Area expected to help boost opening-up

Construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will help further improve the livelihoods of the people in the area and propel the country's comprehensive opening-up in the new era, a senior official said on Sunday.

Constructing the Greater Bay Area is a development strategy of the country, proposed and promoted by President Xi Jinping, said Huang Kunming, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

It will further demonstrate to the world China's systemic advantages and further enrich the content of the country's "one country, two systems" policy, Huang, also head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, said at the opening ceremony of the first Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Media Summit held in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.
