     The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, today (August 9) visited Dongguan to meet with senior officials and keep himself abreast of the latest developments in the high-tech industry.
      
     Following his visit to Shenzhen two days ago, Dongguan is the second city visited by Mr Chan in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area this week.
      
     He first visited the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) facility, including its control centre and underground accelerator facilities. The CSNS is one of the key science and technology infrastructure projects of the National 11th Five-Year Plan, and is the fourth neutron source facility in the world. The CSNS can be used widely in scientific research in different areas, such as materials science, life science, physics, chemistry and new energy.

     He then visited Songshan Lake Xbot Park to learn about its work in entrepreneurial incubation in robotics and related fields as well as nurturing relevant talents.
      
     Mr Chan called on the Secretary of the CPC Dongguan Municipal Committee, Mr Liang Weidong, and the Mayor of the Dongguan Municipal Government, Mr Xiao Yafei, and had lunch with them.

     Mr Chan said that Dongguan has a strategic location in the Bay Area and is an advanced manufacturing base. He expressed the hope that Hong Kong and Dongguan can further collaborate in commercialisation of results of scientific and technological research, and join hands to promote the development of the Bay Area.

     In the afternoon, Mr Chan visited a Hong Kong-invested electronic product company and a multinational corporation manufacturing mobile communication devices.
      
     Concluding the visit, Mr Chan returned to Hong Kong in the evening.
