Guangdong province held a matchmaking event with central State-owned enterprises in Beijing on Wednesday to deepen high-level cooperation and jointly build the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The three-day event, consisting of one themed matchmaking session and several local industrial matchmaking activities, aimed to promote the continuous strategic presence and development of central SOEs in Guangdong to better serve the implementation of national strategies.
Since the beginning of this year, Guangdong and central SOEs have agreed on 91 key cooperation projects involving an investment of 181.32 billion yuan ($27 billion). During this event, 18 representative projects were selected for on-site signing, with a total value of 55.62 billion yuan.
Huang Kunming, Party secretary of Guangdong, expressed gratitude to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and central SOEs for their long-term guidance and support. He emphasized the need to support central SOEs in taking root in Guangdong, deeply participating in the Greater Bay Area's construction.
Noting that the Greater Bay Area is gaining momentum, Huang expressed his hope to share its strategic dividends with central SOEs. "We hope central SOEs will grow together with the Greater Bay Area, creating a batch of landmark projects in infrastructure, cross-border finance, scientific research and industrial cultivation," Huang said.
