The Secretary for Security, Mr Ambrose SK Lee, representing the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, attended a contract-signing ceremony in Shenzhen today (August 17) for construction of boundary crossing facilities for the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor (HK-SWC). Contracts signed were worth a total of RMB320 million, and covered items such as the superstructure of the Hong Kong passenger terminal building.
The Executive Vice-Mayor, Mr Liu Yingli, represented the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government at the ceremony. The Director of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor Project Office, Mr Tang Yaozhi, signed the works contracts with the contractors on behalf of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government.
During the ceremony, Mr Lee thanked the Shenzhen authorities for their co-operation and efforts in taking forward the implementation of co-location of customs and immigration facilities at the new boundary crossing at the HK-SWC. He said Hong Kong would continue to work with Shenzhen and ensure the smooth completion of the project by the end of 2006.
Mr Lee believed that with the close co-operation of both sides and the efforts of the contractors, cross-boundary passengers would be able to enjoy a convenient and comfortable service when the project was completed.
Also speaking at the ceremony, Executive Vice-Mayor Liu Yingli emphasised that this large-scale boundary crossing was jointly invested in and undertaken by the Hong Kong and Shenzhen governments. It was a key project to which the Central Government, and the governments of Guangdong Province, Shenzhen and Hong Kong attached great importance. He said this boundary crossing would be the first one where the co-location arrangement would be implemented.
Mr Liu called on all participating parties to further strengthen co-ordination and adhere to the contract provisions so as to ensure the quality, safety and timely completion of the project.
