"What strikes me now is that from having been over the last two to three decades, the world's factory, to a certain extent, this Greater Bay Area step by step manages to become together with other bay areas like San Francisco, like New York," said Yves Leterme, Former Prime Minister of Belgium.
He furthered that people should join forces to address challenges in the future. "And this is more than a slogan to say that all challenges are global. It's reality. It's a fact of reality we witness it."
The 2023 Understanding China Conference (UCC) is underway in Guangzhou from December 1 to 3. The three-day conference sheds light on topics such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), AI, digital economy, new energy, international cooperation, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).
