     The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, met the Secretary of the CPC Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Committee, Mr Lu Xinshe, at Government House this afternoon (May 15). The Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Mr Patrick Nip; and the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Frank Chan Fan, were also present.
 
     Mrs Lam welcomed Mr Lu's visit to Hong Kong to attend the Presentation on Guangxi Integrating the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area-Hong Kong 2019 held this morning to introduce the investment environment and the latest development of the Guangxi Province, which she was pleased to be invited to attend and deliver a speech. She said that the adoption of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as the theme of the presentation fully reflects the readiness of Guangxi to seize the opportunities brought about by the development of the Greater Bay Area. Pointing out that Hong Kong is one of the core cities of the Greater Bay Area and will play an active role in its development, she said that Hong Kong is willing to deepen co-operation with Guangxi to jointly advance the development of the Greater Bay Area.
 
     Mrs Lam said that Guangxi is an international passage linking the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and that the opening-up of the New Land-Sea Corridor provides a faster passage for the flow of goods between the nation and Southeast Asia as well as Northwest Asia and Europe. She said that Hong Kong, an international maritime and logistics centre, could strengthen co-operation in relevant areas with Guangxi to seize together the opportunities brought about by the New Land-Sea Corridor. In addition, as Hong Kong is also an international aviation hub which is actively taking forward the airport's Three-runway System, the high-end logistics centre and the SkyCity development projects, Mrs Lam said she looks forward to enhancing co-operation in aviation services with Guangxi.
