The Planning Department and the Zhuhai Development & Reform Bureau have each appointed a liaison officer to facilitate the co-ordination and exchange of future planning and regional development information.

Representatives from the two parties today attended a sharing session to exchange views on strategic and comprehensive transport planning.

Both sides agreed there is a need to step up planning-information exchanges to develop a comprehensive transport system that meets their economic development needs.

They agreed an efficient, comfortable and comprehensive regional transport network will align more effectively the transport linking the east and west coastal areas of the Pearl River Delta. It will also drive socio-economic integration of the two places.
