Sun made the remarks during a ceremony to recognize the employment of young people from Hong Kong in the mainland cities of the GBA. The ceremony was held in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, on Wednesday.

The GBA Youth Employment Scheme, unveiled by the Hong Kong government in early 2021, aimed to encourage and support young people from the SAR in their pursuit of careers.

Additionally, more than 400 companies have provided some 3,400 jobs for young people from Hong Kong since the trial run began, Sun said.
