The Chief Executive (CE) has outlined steps to boost Macau’s contribution to the development of the Greater Bay Area.
Chui Sai On chaired the first meeting of Macau’s Working Committee for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, which was set up in November 2018. During Tuesday’s meeting, Chui noted that Macau should work under the guidelines provided by the Central Government’s leading group for the development of the Greater Bay Area, which has held its first plenary meeting. Following on from that meeting, the MSAR is expected to play a more active role and advance its involvement in the city-cluster initiative.
The CE asked committee members to focus more closely on the pursuit of relevant research and the formulation of policies regarding Macau’s participation in the Greater Bay Area. Chui also stressed the need to strengthen coordination mechanisms in relation to the Greater Bay Area.
During the meeting, committee members also reviewed work already done to advance Macau’s involvement in the development of the Greater Bay Area. This included: updating Macau’s Five-Year Development Plan, the creation of the Working Committee for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, signing an agreement with the National Development and Reform Commission, and the organization of a youth forum regarding opportunities created for young people by the Greater Bay Area.
