As a key gateway for fostering connectivity, Hong Kong is set to accelerate the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the nation's high-quality growth.

香港作为加强互联互通的核心门户，正计划加快粤港澳大湾区一体化建设，推动国家高质量发展。

The city will achieve this by continuously channeling global capital, promoting innovation and building cultural bridges, senior officials, industry leaders and experts told the Greater Bay Area Conference 2025, which was held on Thursday in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

在香港特别行政区于周四举办的“2025粤港澳大湾区大会”上，政府高官、行业领袖及专家表示，香港将通过持续引入全球资本、推动创新发展、搭建文化交流桥梁等举措实现上述目标。

Qu Yingpu, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, lifted the curtain on the high-profile conference with a prerecorded welcome speech, which was followed by keynote speeches delivered by Leung Chun-ying, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu.

中国日报社社长兼总编辑曲莹璞通过预录欢迎辞为这场备受关注的大会拉开帷幕。随后，全国政协副主席梁振英、香港特别行政区行政长官李家超分别发表主旨演讲。

Leung emphasized the central government's vision for the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions to actively integrate into the nation's development.

梁振英强调，中央政府始终支持香港、澳门两个特别行政区积极融入国家发展大局。

He said that upholding the principle of "one country, two systems" and promoting integrated development across the Greater Bay Area would "unleash huge energy similar to nuclear fusion", driving development on both sides.

他表示，坚持“一国两制”方针，推动粤港澳大湾区融合发展，将“释放出堪比核聚变的巨大能量”，为大湾区内外发展注入动力。

Leung also highlighted the freer flow of people, goods, capital and data as key pathways and objectives of the region's integrated development. Noting the concrete progress in infrastructure and visa relaxation, he said the collaboration between the Hong Kong SAR and Guangdong province has become broader and deeper.

梁振英还指出，人员、货物、资金、数据的更自由流动，是大湾区一体化发展的核心路径与目标。他提到，当前大湾区基础设施建设与签证便利化政策已取得切实进展，香港特区与广东省的合作领域正不断拓宽、合作深度持续加深。
