The two-day forum attracts over 1,400 guests including delegates from the Greater Bay Area cities and youth representatives.

Recent policies announced by the central government and the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao SARs had created a stronger framework for young people from Hong Kong and Macao to study, work, start a business and live in the mainland, he added.
