Hong Kong officials, including Chief Secretary Eric Chan Kwok-ki and Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn Hon-ho, accompanied Wong to the Hong Kong park of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone on Friday afternoon.
Chan said the visit allowed Wong and his delegation to gain a deeper understanding of the overall planning and future development of the megaproject, which aims to turn 30,000 hectares (74,132 acres) of land into an engine for economic growth and a housing hub.
Wong’s delegation includes Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Sim Ann and Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling.
In their meeting at Government House earlier on Friday, both leaders highlighted shared beliefs, such as free trade and multilateralism, rather than the differences that often cast the two financial hubs as bitter regional rivals.
