The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) convened its 30th briefing session on issues of major concern on Nov 4, focusing on the improvement of employment and entrepreneurship policies for Hong Kong and Macao residents in the mainland amid efforts to advance the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). 

Edmund Ho Hau Wah, vice-chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, attended the meeting via video link from Macao. 

Ho said the meeting effectively publicized the policies, responded to the concerns of CPPCC members from Hong Kong and Macao and those of society at large, and achieved the objectives of clearing up doubt and confusion while building consensus. 

He noted the meeting helped CPPCC members get better prepared to make suggestions and perform duties in order to contribute to the long-term prosperity and stability of the two regions as well as the mainland's development. 

He called for more efforts of CPPCC members to facilitate the GBA's development and to make fresh progress in helping young people. 

More than 80 people, including CPPCC National Committee members from Hong Kong and Macao as well as representatives of patriotic associations, attended the meeting virtually from the two regions.
