Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng met with a delegation led by Zheng Xiangling, Chairman of the Hong Kong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Shi Ronghuai, Chairman of the Association, today.
Gong Zheng warmly welcomed the delegation's visit and provided a detailed introduction to the economic and social development of Shanghai.Shanghai and Hong Kong have a long history of cultural affinity, economic integration, and cooperation and exchange. Especially since the establishment of the Shanghai Hong Kong Cooperation Conference mechanism in 2003, economic and trade cooperation has become even closer. This year coincides with the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the mechanism. We look forward to Shanghai and Hong Kong seizing the high-quality development opportunity of jointly building the "the Belt and Road", strengthening resource complementarity, mutual learning and enterprise interaction, and making greater contributions to serving the overall national development together. The Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Hong Kong is an important force for patriotism and love for Hong Kong. We hope to continue to play the role of a bridge and link, further promote exchanges and cooperation between Shanghai and Hong Kong, strengthen economic and trade exchanges, and promote two-way investment. We will create a first-class business environment for various types of enterprises, and welcome Hong Kong enterprises to use Shanghai as a gateway to enter the Yangtze River Delta and the whole country. We will also continue to support Shanghai enterprises to "go out" through Hong Kong, work together to explore the global market, and achieve greater development.
Zheng Xiangling and Shi Ronghuai said that as soon as the delegation arrived in Shanghai, they felt the charm and vitality of Shanghai, and were even more inspired by its urban spirit and development achievements. The current cooperation between Shanghai and Hong Kong is constantly expanding, and we hope to further leverage the role of the Friendship Association to deepen exchanges and cooperation between the two regions, promote investment and mutual benefit, and let Hong Kong and Shanghai, the two great pearls, shine with lasting brilliance, better serve the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and make greater contributions to the high-quality development of the country.
