HONG KONG – The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is the best dovetailing point for Hong Kong to integrate into the national development, Paul Chan Mo-po, financial secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government, said on Friday.
The Greater Bay Area offers significant room for Hong Kong's economic development, bringing huge opportunities to a wide range of industries, Chan said at two forums, stressing that Hong Kong and other cities in the area are complementary to each other.
