Macao values the construction of the Greater Bay Area, and expects to join hands with the Guangzhou government contributing its part in the national development strategy, according to Leong.

Both sides agree to focus on cooperation in the fields of education, environmental protection, finance, culture, convention and exhibition, and vocational training.

In addition, Macao and Guangzhou will boost exchanges among the youth and support them to set up business in either city, with further moves facilitating trade liberalization and cross-border e-commerce.

Leong noted at the meeting that Macao will cement its role of being the world's leisure and tourism hub and focus on developing into an education and training base for the tourism industry in the Greater Bay Area.
