So I am very happy to work in recent years.

Shenzhen Satellite TV Reporter Luo Daiyi: How does you and your colleagues play the role of "paving the road" in specific work?

Yuan Minzhong, the development specialist of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area in the Hong Kong SAR Government: The construction of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area involves many different departments, or different government agencies. The assistance of the Special Administrative Region Government, when we promoted these new policies to land, it was also smooth.

One of the important principles is to carry out regional development with the basis of mutual benefit and win -win and complementary advantages. In the past few years, everyone can see that the so -called economic and trade of the West and the East has received some relatively large challenges, so if it only focuses on the economic development in this regard, it may not last.

Therefore, in the "Outline of the Development Planning of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area", it is mentioned that in addition to the traditional trade direction, it also vigorously develops the domestic sales market in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, which is the double -loop development strategy proposed by our country.

In the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, we have an Innovation Science and Technology Bureau. The colleagues in the bureau are responsible for the formulation and introduction of relevant policies for innovation and technology. Essence Specifically, the development of innovation and technology in the Greater Bay Area has done a lot of work in the past few years, and has made a lot of investment in hardware and software.

In terms of hardware, in the past few years, the SAR Government has invested more than 150 billion yuan to develop the new field technology zone proposed by the Innovation Science and Technology Cooperation Zone and the Chief Executive, including the Hetao area. It is underway now, and the first batch of related buildings is expected to be in 2024.

In addition to hardware, the SAR government has also done a lot of work in software. First of all, we signed a joint policy of "one district, two parks" with the Shenzhen Municipal Government. The goal is to jointly introduce policies that are conducive to the development of innovation. In the innovative science and technology cooperation park in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, it will attract related talents and funds to land.

In addition to this plan, we also focus on the development of two science and technology innovation platforms in our own innovation garden. The first is the scientific research of artificial intelligence and robots, and the second is the research of medical technology. The SAR government spent more than 15 billion funds in these two major science and technology platforms, attracting more than 30 scientific research teams with a leading position in the world to Hong Kong and settled in the Chuangke District of Hepai. We are very happy to bring a very good foundation for the development of our science and technology innovation.

In the end, in addition to these two platforms, the SAR Government also saw that because of the age of population, the scientific research needs related to life and health are very large, so we are going to add third in the new development zone to add third third development zone.

I think these related infrastructure work is very necessary to ensure that the development of our Greater Bay Area will not be hindered by a little hardware in the future.

In addition to the land and Shenzhen ports just mentioned, I also want to mention it. The Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge is also a very important infrastructure facility. The construction of the Greater Bay Area also includes a very innovative customs clearance plan for the "Hong Kong Vehicles North". The content mainly includes: the use of the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge facility from Hong Kong, and the vehicles that take Hong Kong can reach the mainland city in the Greater Bay Area. We have reached a principled agreement with the relevant departments. When the epidemic improves, it will be launched as soon as possible. This is very helpful for the people's hearts and shortening distance.

Shenzhen Satellite TV Reporter Luo Daixun: This year, the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong. What do you think of Hong Kong's return for 25 years, how does it affect your personal growth and career?

Yuan Minzhong, Development Commissioner of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government: I think in the past 25 years, after Hong Kong returned to the motherland, I actually encountered a lot of ups and downs, but every time, Hong Kong can better find it in the wind and rain after the storms.
