Guangdong to speed traffic flow

GUANGZHOU: Officials and delegates to the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress, which ended yesterday, have called for efficient measures for integration of traffic and telecommunication in the Pearl River Delta region.

This comes as a follow-up to the central government's plan at the end of last year to deepen reform and opening up in the area. Under that plan, the delta together with Hong Kong and Macao will be forged into "a globally competitive" and "the most vigorous area in the Asia-Pacific region" by 2020.

"We need some details to deepen the reform and opening up in the area. And integration of traffic and telecommunication may be seen as one of the efficient measures to help boost development of the region," Zhang Zhaoxing, a member to the Provincial People's Congress, told China Daily.
