Governor says future rests with Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will be a major priority for the provincial government, according to Guangdong Governor Ma Xingrui.

Ma said the new cluster is crucial to enhancing Guangdong's social and economic progress in the near future. "In the new era, construction of the Greater Bay Area is the guiding principle for Guangdong's further reform and opening-up," Ma said during a recent news conference outlining Guangdong's future development in light of the advances of the past seven decades.

Ma said Guangdong would team up with Hong Kong and Macao to construct a high-quality world-class city cluster.
