Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, in her keynote speech, laid out some key principles in guiding Hong Kong's participation in the Bay Area blueprint.

"Adherence to one country, two systems, mutual cooperation and win-win arrangement, putting innovation and technology at the top of our agenda, and more support for young people and nurturing talents," Lam said.

Zhou Shuchun, Standing Committee member of the CPPCC National Committee and publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, said via video link from Beijing that "the central government's new 'dual-circulation' development program is expected to mark a major shift in the country's economic strategy, and the 11-city cluster in the Bay Area will, doubtless, play a key role in it."

The Wednesday conference includes three panel discussions, which will cover development of the healthcare sector in the Bay Area, the role of technology infrastructure as the new engine of economic growth and the role of Hong Kong in the Bay Area blueprint.

Annie Wu Suk-ching, honorary chairman of Beijing Air Catering, also addressed the conference.
