12th Five-Year Plan

65.      To ensure that Hong Kong can continue to leverage its unique functions and advantages during the National 12th Five-Year Plan period, we will strive to further consolidate and enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre and an international centre for trade and shipping. We will develop the six industries where Hong Kong enjoys clear advantages, deepen and enhance the implementation of CEPA, and further develop our service industries. We will work with Guangdong Province to seek recognition of the functions and roles of Hong Kong-Guangdong co-operation at the national planning level. We will also join hands with Shenzhen to develop Qianhai into a modern service industry innovation and co-operation exemplary zone, and capitalise on the opportunities presented by CEPA and such policies as early and pilot implementation, with a view to opening up development frontiers in Qianhai for the financial and professional service industries of Hong Kong.
