Align rules with global standards, GBA urged

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area must take steps to align with high-standard international economic and trade rules, national political advisers said.

The economic zone should also aim to foster a unified, efficient and competitive market climate as well as fair, equitable and healthy legal safeguards for win-win cooperation, they said in remarks made at the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body.

As countries navigate a complex and rapidly evolving global landscape, regional economic cooperation has gained in prominence, with a growing emphasis on establishing robust and consistent rules, they added.
