Thank you. Next, I will invite Mr. Zhang from the Guangzhou branch to give an introduction.

Zhang Hu:

Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, good afternoon. Thank you for your care and support for Guangdong's development. On June 14, the State Council officially issued the Master Plan of Guangzhou Nansha on Deepening Comprehensive Cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao with Global Perspective. The plan was also introduced to support turning Nansha into a major strategic platform based on the GBA, coordinate the development between Hong Kong and Macao, and work with a global outlook. Following last year's introduction of plans for cooperation zones in Hengqin and Qianhai, this plan is another major decision and deployment for the building of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao GBA made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, offering Guangdong new major opportunities and missions and injecting new and strong impetus into Nansha's development. We are inspired, encouraged, and motivated. We are more aware of the far-reaching layout of the Party and our country's undertakings made by the general secretary and the Party Central Committee. We also have a deeper understanding of their care for Guangdong and the great historical responsibility Guangdong shoulders. Yesterday, Li Xi, secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the CPC, presided over the meeting of the standing committee of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, conveyed and studied the master plan, and discussed the opinions on implementing the plan in our province. He stressed that in accordance with the deployment and requirements of the CPC Central Committee, we must fully support further deepening opening up in Nansha to boost the comprehensive cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao with a global outlook. He also emphasized that we must fully support the establishment of both Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and firmly uphold Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Today, Wang Weizhong, governor of Guangdong province, presided over the executive meeting of the provincial government and discussed and deployed relevant work. Going forward, we will continue to follow the requirements of the CPC Central Committee, stick to the development direction of the GBA, coordinate the needs of Hong Kong and Macao, and give full play to the role of Guangdong. We will also fully enforce the arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council and work jointly with Hong Kong and Macao to achieve the great goals of the master plan step by step.

First, we will keenly organize people to study, publicize and implement the master plan. We will deeply study and implement the important speeches and guiding principles of the general secretary on the building of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao GBA and for the development of Guangdong and Guangzhou. We will have an in-depth understanding of the significance of the introduction and implementation of the master plan in big-picture terms and from a strategic perspective and accurately grasp the principles and requirements of further deepening opening up in Nansha to boost comprehensive cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong, and Macao with a global outlook. We will study and fully promote the implementation of the master plan together with cooperation zone schemes for Hengqin and Qianhai, and effectively align our thoughts and actions with the decisions and deployment of the general secretary and the CPC Central Committee, setting off a massive wave of studying, publicizing and implementing the master plan across the whole province.

Second, we will try to promote the implementation of key tasks. We will establish and improve the mechanisms for organizing, leading, coordinating, and pushing forward our work. The chief officials of the provincial Party committee and the provincial government will take the lead and be in charge of the overall work, the other relevant officials will be responsible for the specific work, and joint working groups at the city- and province-level will be set up. Focusing on the major tasks in five aspects proposed in the master plan, we will specify the key points of the reform, policy, and work, make a list and set up account books, conduct research and analysis, and launch specific platforms, projects, policies, and measures, to accelerate the implementation of the master plan with the joint efforts of the province and its cities.

Third, we will improve the policy planning and supporting system. We will accelerate the introduction of the acting scheme for the implementation of the master plan, formulate provincial-level policies and measures to support Nansha's development, be quick to put forward specific rules for implementing key policies, kick off a new round of the compilation of development plans for Nansha, and strengthen support for Nansha by delegating more power to the district.

Fourth, we will strengthen communication and coordination with Hong Kong and Macao in all respects. We will focus on the goal of turning Nansha into an important carrier to provide strong support for better integrating Hong Kong and Macao into the country's overall development. Nansha will be supported to deepen the connection of rules and mechanisms with Hong Kong and Macao in key areas such as scientific and technological innovation, industrial development, people's livelihood integration, cultural exchange, and urban development, among others. Professionals and talent with a global vision from Hong Kong and Macao will be actively invited to participate in the construction and management of Nansha district.

Thank you.
