HK to play key role as link between mainland, overseas

With the high-profile development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area gaining pace, Hong Kong is looking to play its part to fulfill the area's ambitions, said the city's top mainland affairs official on Wednesday.

Raymond Tam Chi-yuen, Hong Kong's secretary for constitutional and mainland affairs, made the remarks after talks with the National Development and Reform Commission.

Tam said the NDRC is considering making Hong Kong the locomotive of the strategy and the bay area's window to the world.
