The third Shenzhen-Hong Kong Co-operation Forum£¬ jointly organised by the Central Policy Unit (CPU) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region£¬ the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Research Association and the China Development Institute of Shenzhen£¬ was held at the China Development Institute in Shenzhen.
The forum was initiated by the research institutions of Shenzhen and Hong Kong£¬ with the aim of strengthening non-official exchanges between the two places in additional to government official interactions. The first two forums were held in 2006 and 2007 in Shenzhen and Hong Kong respectively£¬ and have made important contributions in promoting co-operation between the two places. The theme of today¡¯s forum was ¡°Shenzhen-Hong Kong Co-operation under the Economic Crisis¡±. The forum examined the development of the financial tsunami and its impact on Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Around 100 participants from Hong Kong and Shenzhen£¬ including experts from various fields£¬ academics£¬ business persons and government officials£¬ were invited to join the forum.
The Head of the CPU£¬ Professor Lau Siu-kai£¬ and the Deputy Mayor of Shenzhen£¬ Mr Lv Ruifeng£¬ delivered opening addresses at the forum.
Participants of the forum were divided into four groups and had in-depth discussions on how Shenzhen and Hong Kong could further co-operate in areas such as employment£¬ support for small and medium-sized enterprises£¬ education and manpower training£¬ and social welfare£¬ in order to combat the crisis and grasp the opportunities.
Organizers from both Shenzhen and Hong Kong attach great importance to the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Co-operation Forum£¬ and hope that the forum can continue in the future to further enhance co-operation and exchanges between the two places.
