Zhuhai reveals strategy for regional hub

Plans for the creation of a tourism distribution centre to be located near the Zhuhai link line of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB) and the Hengqin North Interchange have been announced by the Zhuhai Government, according to information provided by an official portal yesterday.
Other strategies announced by the neighboring municipality, north of Macau, include the construction of an international shipping hub and land port that will act as a transport and logistics connector between Zhuhai Airport, the HZMB, and the cross-border checkpoint integrated transport hub.
The announcements are in line with Zhuhai’s positioning and development ‘implementation plan’ within the Belt and Road initiative, its government claims.
It includes 33 tasks in several action areas; namely, transportation, logistics, economy and trade, innovation, talent, and environment.
The plan also foresees the establishment of a communication and co-operation mechanism with countries and regions along the Belt and Road, reaching out as far as Latin America, in addition to the creation of a Sichuan-Guizhou-Guangdong-South Asia International Logistics Channel.
