Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), praised the long-term vision of local colleges and universities for deciding to set up campuses in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, adding that the HKSAR government would support relevant projects.
Quality universities are a strength for Hong Kong at the national, regional, and global level, Lam said during a meeting with University Grants Committee (UGC) via video on Wednesday.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) already have campuses in Guangzhou and Zhuhai, but with the full support from the government more projects are following up.
