Zhang highlighted Macao’s important role in the country’s development under the “one country, two systems” policy and reiterated the SPC’s commitment to upholding the principle. He said the SPC will continue to advance cooperation with Macao's judicial and legal community, and support the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin. Future efforts will focus on synergizing judicial and legal rules and mechanisms, enabling Macao to leverage its unique position and advantages to better integrate into the country’s overall development, he added.
