Hong Kong, with the full support of the Motherland and being closely connected with the world, has become a global trading hub and an international financial centre. The State Council’s promulgation of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) on 18 February 2019 signified a new milestone in Hong Kong’s development. The GBA is strategically positioned to be: vibrant world-class city cluster, a globally influential international innovation and technology hub, an important support pillar for the Belt and Road Initiative, a showcase for in-depth cooperation between the Mainland China and Hong Kong and Macao, and a quality living circle for living, working and travelling.
Through the integration of the rich resources and innovation-driven development in this cluster of cities, the GBA provides a new impetus for Hong Kong’s economic development and brings new opportunities for the next generation.
