Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor mentioned in the new Policy Address earlier that he would study with the Shenzhen Municipal Government to adopt a "single-site two-inspection" arrangement at the Xinhuanggang Port and release more than 20 hectares of land at the Lok Ma Chau Control Point in Hong Kong for other uses. .

The Secretary for Security Li Jiachao said at the meeting of the Security Affairs Committee of the Legislative Council today (2nd) that the Huanggang New Port will follow the customs clearance mode of the current Shenzhen Bay Port in the future. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. If there is an overrun, the cost will also be borne by the Shenzhen side. The Hong Kong government will pay a nominal rent of 1,000 yuan per year to Shenzhen.

Li Jiachao said that when the new port is about to be completed, the governments of the two places will submit to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for approval to implement the "co-location, two inspections," and the Hong Kong government will also carry out local legislative work on this.

Many establishments expressed their support for the reconstruction of the Huanggang Port and the implementation of the "single-site inspection".

The government will make comprehensive consideration and start research as soon as possible.

Li Jiachao emphasized that the new Huanggang port will adopt the Shenzhen Bay model. The SAR government has full jurisdiction in the Hong Kong port area. The relevant legal power extends to the Hong Kong port area.
