HONG KONG - Governor of South China's Guangdong Province Zhu Xiaodan said in Guangdong province Saturday that the economic powerhouse is working to achieve liberalization of trade in services with neighboring Hong Kong and Macao by 2014, one year ahead of the other provinces in the mainland.
Guangdong will soon work out an action plan and unveil detailed measures to realize the goal, Zhu told a press conference.
Chinese Vice-Premier Li Keqiang during his visit to Hong Kong last August said that by implementing the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), liberalization of trade in services would be basically achieved between Hong Kong and the entire mainland by the end of China's 12th five-year development plan (2011-15).
