Greater Bay Area touted as model for promotion of global exchange

Prominent cultural figures highlighted on Tuesday that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area — a thriving model of cultural integration — could set a global benchmark for good governance by harnessing technological innovation to strengthen cultural preservation and exchange.

Their remarks were made at the Forum on Building Cultural Strength and Promoting Digital Intelligence of the Greater Bay Area, one of the 10 parallel events that are part of the Forum on Building up China's Cultural Strength 2025 hosted on Monday and Tuesday in Shenzhen, Guangdong province.

Wu Zhiliang, chairman of the Federation of Associations of Cultural Sectors of Macau, said during his thematic speech that the Greater Bay Area retains unique cultural genes shaped by the exploratory DNA from the ancient Baiyue community, enriched by the culture of the Central Plains, or Zhongyuan area, and refined through the progress of globalization.
