******************************************************************************************
Mr Tang said that Hong Kong-Shenzhen BCPs are key transportation hubs in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which serve as vital channels for economic exchange between the two regions. He hoped to bring residents and enterprises in both regions a more convenient window through professional planning and efficient management. Mr Tang expressed his gratitude for Shenzhen's meticulous arrangements for the team to visit the Huanggang port tower and was pleased to learn that the new Huanggang Port redevelopment project is progressing smoothly. When the Hong Kong authorities reported to the Panel on Security of the Legislative Council last month on the project, members also voiced their support for it.
During the meeting, the two delegations discussed the planning and development of land BCPs, including reporting progress and exchanging views on the redevelopment projects of BCPs in Huanggang and Sha Tau Kok, and the transfer of the food control function of the Man Kam To Boundary Control Point. Concluding the meeting, Mr Tang said he will continue to follow the development of BCPs to ensure smooth project implementation, while flexibly adjusting strategies to address challenges, realise the modernisation of control points and meet the needs of citizens.
Other HKSAR Government officials attending the meeting included representatives from the Transport and Logistics Bureau, the Northern Metropolis Co-ordination Office, the Environment and Ecology Bureau, the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, the Immigration Department, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, the Architectural Services Department and the Transport Department.
