Lee added that Zhongshan has been supportive of the dedicated team for attracting businesses and talents under the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Guangdong reaching out to local enterprises and talent to develop in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong will also leverage its professional services and financing platform advantages to attract enterprises to expand businesses in Zhongshan and other Greater Bay Area cities.

Lee also said that Hong Kong and Zhongshan could easily facilitate and deepen their cooperation as travel time has been reduced following the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge.
