The revamped Huanggang checkpoint is a “critical milestone” for the connectivity of the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong’s leader has said, as the city and Shenzhen count down to its launch on Monday.
Speaking at a ceremony on Sunday, Chief Executive John Lee-Ka Chiu said the Huanggang control point was a “landmark project” built and shared through the joint efforts of Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
“Hong Kong unveiled its first five-year plan last month to proactively align with the national 15th five-year plan, allowing the city to better integrate into the overall development of the country. The plan proposed to facilitate cross-border passenger flows and elevate customs clearance efficiency,” he said.
