　　Hong Kong is duty-bound to align with the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) and better integrate into the country’s overall development strategy, said Tu Haiming, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), during a group interview ahead of the closing meeting of the fourth session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Wednesday.

　　Discussing Hong Kong’s integration into the national development landscape over the past year, Tu, also a vice-chairperson of the Committee on Liaison with Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese of the CPPCC, highlighted three particularly impressive developments.

　　Last November, the 15th National Games of China kicked off, marking the first time Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao jointly hosted the event. Road cyclists set off from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, achieving seamless customs clearance along the route. Passing through Zhuhai, Hengqin and Macao, and finally arriving in Hong Kong, they traced a graceful arc of integration across the Greater Bay Area.

　　“This moment was not only a spectacular highlight of the competition but also a vivid microcosm of the Greater Bay Area’s integrated development, allowing people to truly feel the unique charm of regional fusion,” said Tu.
