Mainland-HK cooperation zones set to drive growth

Hong Kong officials and community leaders said a recent inspection led by central government official Xia Baolong of key cooperation zones involving Hong Kong has provided the city with clearer insights into advancing major projects and contributing to the nation's high-quality development.

From Friday to Monday, Xia, who heads the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, visited significant cooperation platforms outlined in China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25).

His tour included the Hong Kong Park of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin.
