With Opportunities, Challenges and Strategies as its theme, the forum discussed the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's regulations, the Bay Area as an international financial hub, its strategical position and cooperation, and the leading role of its central cities and cities of science and innovation.

This was the second time it was held at JNU. Prof. ZhongYun of JNU's College of Economics said in the closing ceremony that the forum had a special meaning for this discussion and strengthened all participants’ confidence in the prospect of future cooperation and development in Greater Bay Area.
