Cooperation | Chui visits local companies operating in Hengqin

During the trip, the CE visit the Shenzhen Stock Exchange

Chief Executive Chui Sai On led a delegation to Zhuhai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen on June 21 and 22, in order to form agreements with officials of those cities to enhance cooperation.

The delegation visited the Macau-Hengqin Youth Entrepreneurship
Valley and the Guangdong-Macau Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and
Technology Industrial Park, both located in Hengqin New Area, Zhuhai, amongst other sites.

Representatives of local enterprises operating businesses in Hengqin held presentations during a seminar, in which Chui pledged that the SAR and Zhuhai governments would jointly consider policies and measures to help them develop.

Meeting with the secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Zhuhai Municipal Committee, Guo Yonghang, Chui suggested that under the framework of the Greater Bay Area development plan, Zhuhai and Macau could enhance cooperation in the development of specialized financial businesses.

Joint plans also include a “smart city” building and growth in the role of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Industrial Park.

The Chief Executive said he believed that supporting cross-boundary
movement of talented people would in turn facilitate flow of capital,
materials and information. Meanwhile, the delegation also held a visit to an artificial intelligence technology enterprise and an urban development firm, where they gained a better understanding of the most recent industrial trends on display in Guangzhou.

Chui said he hoped Macau would enhance its cooperation with Guangzhou based on the existing cooperative relationship, and in particular that it would develop such ties in accordance with the directions set out in the Greater Bay Area development plan, once it is released.

As the region’s economy is less diverse than that of some of its neighbors, in terms of the range of its industries, he expressed hope that he would receive support from Guangzhou in order to promote technological development through regional cooperation.
