Li Hongzhi, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province, held a meeting with Warren Kaeding, minister of Trade and Export Development of Saskatchewan, Canada, on his maiden visit to Guangdong on June 4.

Li briefed Kaeding on Guangdong province's economic and social development and the significant opportunities presented by the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. He said that Guangdong is currently planning and advancing its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) with a sense of responsibility to lead the way, set an example, and shoulder major responsibilities, striving to create new advantages and achieve fresh breakthroughs from this new starting point.
