​A delegation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government led by the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, and a delegation of the Shenzhen Municipal Government led by Vice Mayor of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government Mr Luo Huanghao held a task force meeting on the collaboration for the planning and development of Hong Kong-Shenzhen control points in Shenzhen this morning (May 29) to continue taking forward the work relating to the planning and development of boundary control points (BCPs).

     Mr Tang said that Hong Kong-Shenzhen BCPs serve not only as frontline hubs through which Hong Kong dovetails with national strategies under the 15th Five-Year Plan, but also as efficient and modern channels enabling Hong Kong and Shenzhen to join hands in integrating into and serving the national development strategy.

     During the meeting, the two delegations reported on progress and exchanged views on the planning and development of land BCPs, including the redevelopment projects of the Huanggang and Sha Tau Kok BCPs, and the development plan of the food control facilities at Heung Yuen Wai. Concluding the meeting, Mr Tang noted that the cross-boundary passenger traffic at land BCPs between Hong Kong and Shenzhen has repeatedly reached record highs, and that the two-way flow of people between the two cities has become the norm. Both Hong Kong and Shenzhen should continue to upgrade the infrastructure of BCPs, implement facilitation measures, and establish a high-quality gateway for economic and tourism exchanges.

     Other HKSAR government officials attending the meeting included representatives from the Environment and Ecology Bureau, the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, the Immigration Department, the Architectural Services Department, the Department of Health, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, the Government Property Agency and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department.
