Deputy Secretary for Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Zhang Guojun, presided over the 7th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Legal Departments Joint Meeting today. Chen Xudong, Director of the Department of Justice of Guangdong Province, and Huang Shaoze, Secretary for Administration and Justice of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government, led separate delegations. At the conference, the Department of Justice and representatives of the legal departments of Guangdong and Macau had in-depth discussions on various key areas, such as connecting legal personnel and connecting rules relating to mediation and arbitration. Substantial results were achieved, fully demonstrating the positive effects of the joint conference system of the legal departments of the three regions. The meeting reached a consensus on the Department of Justice's proposal to establish a commercial mediation and arbitration platform for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The platform will bring together Greater Bay Area mediation and arbitration institutions to jointly promote the establishment, promotion and adoption of relevant Greater Bay Area standards, and enhance the efficiency of dispute resolution within the Greater Bay Area. The three regions have successively reviewed the “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Mediator Register” and the “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Arbitrator Register” and agreed to work towards the common goal of updating the mediator roster and issuing the arbitrator roster by the end of this year, marking a new stage in the construction of a talent pool for dispute resolution in the Greater Bay Area.
