John Lee attends opening ceremony of Huanggang Port, thanks central government for supporting reconstruction project
李家超：感謝中央對皇崗口岸重建項目的重視和支持
The opening ceremony for the reconstructed Huanggang Port was held this morning in the Shenzhen-side port area. Chief Executive John Lee attended and thanked the central government for its attention and support for the reconstruction project. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and the State Council made an authorisation decision and an approval in June and July this year respectively, authorising the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to exercise jurisdiction over the Hong Kong-side port area of Huanggang Port from midnight on 31 July, laying the legal foundation for 'single destination, two inspections'.
The authorisation decision and approval were made in June and July this year, with the Shenzhen municipal government bearing the design and construction costs, allowing readers to understand the legal and financial arrangements for the port reconstruction.
