The new site was opened - to create a "meeting room" for overseas business
In his speech, Leung Chun-ying said that the new location of the Hong Kong Service Centre fully embodies the "new" characteristics - the new site carries the "new function" of promoting Nansha enterprises to leverage Hong Kong and Macao resources to go global, build a Chinese brand with international influence, and provide a "new practice" of one-stop "zero customs clearance" cross-border communication services with the addition of government self-service kiosks, which provides a "new impetus" for all walks of life in Hong Kong to use Nansha as an important platform to better participate in the construction of the Bay Area and integrate into the overall development of the country.
Wu Yang said that the current development of Nansha has ushered in a number of major benefits, and taking the opening of the new site of the Hong Kong Service Center as an opportunity, the Hong Kong Service Center will further play its role as a two-way communication channel, a service platform forward, and a publicity and display window in the future, and join hands with Hong Kong, Macao and the world to create a new chapter of integrated development.
Service upgrade - opening a "through train" for cross-border exchanges
The opening of the new site of the Hong Kong Service Centre marks a new journey for Nansha in deepening the multi-sector cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong. The new site will be upgraded to become a multi-functional service complex, bringing together the resources of the government, enterprises and markets, and integrating the five functions of communication and liaison, publicity and promotion, activity exchange, resource docking and government services, continuously revitalizing resources in Hong Kong and expanding the cooperation and linkage channels between Guangdong and Hong Kong, and further giving full play to the important role of the Hong Kong Service Center as a frontier window in Hong Kong and a bridgehead for "cooperating with Hong Kong and Macao and facing the world".
The Hong Kong-Guangdong Government Services "Cross-border Office" zone (Nansha, Guangzhou) set up in the Hong Kong Service Centre was one of the highlights of the opening ceremony of the new Hong Kong Service Centre. Through the smart counter, Hong Kong residents and mainland residents in Hong Kong can enjoy one-stop "zero customs clearance" cross-border services, and realize the whole process of online handling of more than 120 high-frequency government service matters related to Hong Kong and Macao in the fields of enterprise start-up, taxation, provident fund, social security, medical insurance, real estate, etc.
The Hong Kong Service Centre will work with the Nansha District Political and Digital Bureau to further enrich the content of the zone, and extend more government services in Nansha to Hong Kong and Macao through online channels such as the Guangdong Provincial Government Affairs Website and the Suihaoban APP. At the same time, we will actively explore more work related to the convergence of rules with Hong Kong.
On the day of the event, Guangzhou Association of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation signed cooperation agreements with the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, Guangzhou Bay Area Planning, Survey and Design Institute and Arup Hong Kong Limited, Guangzhou Nansha Development Zone Investment Promotion Bureau and Dorsett Group Co., Ltd. respectively.
