They had an in-depth conversation on issues including the progress of Hong Kong in realising its "eight centres" positioning as stated in the National 14th Five-year Plan; the promotion of deeper economic integration into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area; and Hong Kong's contribution to the development for the Belt and Road Initiative.
 
     Mr Chan also met with the Director of the National Administration of Financial Regulation, Mr Li Yunze. They exchanged views on the latest economic and financial developments on the Mainland and in Hong Kong, and together explored topics such as stepping up co-ordination and collaboration in financial regulation, widening mutual market access and financial innovation.
 
     Mr Chan will return to Hong Kong tonight.
