She said that Hong Kong would leverage its unique positioning as set out in the Dedicated Chapter on Hong Kong and Macao of the Outline of the National 13th Five-Year Plan, with a view to developing and "going global" with other cities in the Bay Area in a co-ordinated manner to complement the country's Belt and Road Initiative through acting as a two-way open platform.

     Noting that Hong Kong and Guangdong have established close ties in various areas, Mrs Lam hoped that the two places would strengthen co-operation and seize the enormous opportunities from the development of the Bay Area for mutual benefit.
