The meeting was presided over by District Party Chief Huang Weilin.

　　Mr. Yang Xinhong gave a comprehensive, well-informed, practical, and in-depth guidance to the participants on how to further understand the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his inspection tour in Guangdong, the "Development Plan for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area”, and how to promote the coordinated development of city cluster in the Greater Bay Area.

　　According to Mr. Yang Xinhong, the city cluster in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has already been on a trajectory of coordinated development, with the degree of economic coordination rising continuously. In contrast to extreme imbalanced development in the past, a new pattern is emerging that features more balance, interdependence, and mutual promotion among the cities; Economic connectivity and interdependence is the very force the will drive the long-term development of the Greater Bay Area. But at the same time, there are still barriers to the collaborative development of the Greater Bay Area, the removal of which requires further breakthroughs to be made by cities in the region to strengthen collaborative innovation mechanisms.

　　Huang Weilin pointed out that the special lecture offered new perspectives and directions to take measures suitable for Huadu to promote the construction of the Greater Bay Area and high-quality development. Departments at all levels should apply the content of the lectures to promote high-quality development of Huadu, and enable Huadu to find its position that will allow it to make best contribution to the construction of Beautiful Huadu and the Greater Bay Area, and to the grand task of Guangdong province of supporting Shenzhen in constructing the demonstration pilot zone for socialism with Chinese characteristics.
