Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam, accompanied by Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Patrick Nip, continued her visit to the mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area this weekend, visiting Jiangmen on Saturday.
During their visit to Jiangmen, Lam and Nip visited China International Marine Containers (CIMC) to learn about the operations of its subsidiary, CIMC Modular Building Systems, which supplies construction components for the Construction Industry Council’s Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) Display Centre in Kowloon Bay.
The Hong Kong officials also visited Xinhui Tangerine Peel Village to find out the development of the trade. The production of aged tangerine peels in the city has a history hundreds of years old, and they are known across the country for their quality. Following years of development, it has become an industry with an annual production worth billions of dollars.
Later, Lam and Nip departed for Panyu, Guangzhou, to visit Clifford Hospital, which was founded by a Hong Kong merchant. Opened in 2001, Clifford Hospital was the first hospital in China to be accredited by Joint Commission International and provides medical services for many Hong Kong people living nearby.
Since she assumed office, Hong Kong’s Chief Executive has visited Macau and the nine mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area. According to a statement from the SAR government in Hong Kong, these visits have helped to inform her of the characteristics and economic advantages of each city. DB
