Policy Coordination
In December 2017, the HKSAR Government signed the “Arrangement between the National Development and Reform Commission and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for Advancing Hong Kong's Full Participation in and Contribution to the Belt and Road Initiative”.
The Arrangement focuses on six key areas:
6 Key Areas
Hong Kong's Participation in the Belt and Road Initiative
Infrastructure and Maritime Services
Economic and Trade Facilitation
People-to-people Bonds
Taking Forward the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development
Enhancing Collaboration in Project Interfacing and Dispute Resolution Services
A Joint Conference mechanism has also been set up to serve as a platform of direct communication between the HKSAR Government and the Central Authorities for regular dialogues on the work priorities and proposals with respect to Hong Kong's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Hong Kong's Top-level Supervision Work
The Chief Executive established the Steering Group on Integration into National Development in 2022, under which the Working Group on Belt and Road Development chaired by the Secretary for Justice was set up to proactively take forward the high-quality development of co-operation in such areas as trade and commerce and professional services between Hong Kong and B&R countries.
