******************************************************************************************

The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, met the Secretary of the CPC Huizhou Municipal Committee and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Huizhou Municipal People's Congress, Mr Chen Yiwei, at the Chief Executive's Office this morning (March 22).

Mrs Lam welcomed Mr Chen's visit to Hong Kong. Noting that Hong Kong and Huizhou have all along had close trade and economic co-operation, she said that the ties between Hong Kong and Huizhou will be closer and travel between the two places will be more convenient with the completion of a number of cross-boundary infrastructure projects, in particular the Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point.

She said that the nine cities and two Special Administrative Regions in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area each have their own distinctive advantages which enable them to complement each other. She expressed the hope that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area could be developed into a world-class bay area with the concerted efforts of all sides. Hong Kong and Huizhou may explore ways to strengthen co-operation in various aspects including innovation and technology, higher education, youth entrepreneurship and cultural tourism, she said.
