Here's the English version of the provided article: --- **HONG KONG, February 24 (Xinhua) –** The *Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area* (referred to as the "Outline Plan") was recently released, offering several recommendations for the development of various professions, including strengthening cooperation in healthcare and legal affairs within the region. Representatives from related sectors in Hong Kong believe that this presents a significant opportunity for Hong Kong to bring its high-quality professional services to the Mainland, achieving mutual benefits. The Outline Plan proposes promoting close cooperation in quality healthcare resources, supporting Hong Kong and Macao healthcare service providers in establishing medical institutions in the nine cities of the Pearl River Delta through sole proprietorship, joint ventures, or cooperative arrangements, and developing regional medical consortia and regional medical centers. Lo Chung-mau, head of the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital, mentioned in a radio program that Mainland hospitals have adopted the "smart hospital" concept, which is highly efficient, while Hong Kong hospitals excel in quality. He believes that by establishing education, training, and research bases for Hong Kong healthcare professionals in the Mainland, both regions could benefit. The Chinese University of Hong Kong's Shenzhen campus also plans to establish a medical school and a directly affiliated hospital, aiming to cultivate relevant talents and elevate medical services in the Greater Bay Area to international standards. Lo Chung-mau further stated that frequent exchanges between Shenzhen and Hong Kong residents make it crucial for Hong Kong to provide cross-border inpatient medical services to meet the healthcare needs of Hong Kong residents living in the Mainland. In terms of building a modern services system, the Outline Plan mentions deepening the implementation of the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) for Hong Kong and Macao's service sectors. It encourages the joint establishment of professional service agencies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region, fostering the development of professional services such as accounting, auditing, legal, and dispute resolution. The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) will set up a committee to specifically study the industry’s development in the Greater Bay Area and promote the flow of accounting talents. HKICPA Vice President, Angus Cheung, stated that the institute will continue discussions with relevant Mainland authorities regarding the issue of accounting work papers. They plan to initially run trials with a few companies to test the entire process, which involves multiple departments and procedures, before deciding on future actions. The Outline Plan also suggests enhancing judicial cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, accelerating the development of the legal services industry, and encouraging legal service institutions to support the "Belt and Road" initiative and Mainland enterprises going global. It proposes expanding pilot programs for joint-venture law firms between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, as well as studying the practice qualifications and business scope of Hong Kong and Macao lawyers in the nine Pearl River Delta cities. Practicing lawyer, Wong Kwok-on, pointed out that Hong Kong lawyers possess an international perspective, with world-class expertise in commercial law and arbitration. The Outline Plan’s proposal to establish Hong Kong as an Asia-Pacific center for international legal and dispute resolution services presents a significant opportunity for the legal community. Fu Jian-ci, Deputy Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Legal Exchange Foundation, believes that building Hong Kong into an Asia-Pacific hub for international legal and dispute resolution services can effectively leverage Hong Kong's status as an international financial center and its wealth of experienced legal talent to efficiently resolve legal disputes arising from the development of the Greater Bay Area. --- This version keeps the style and structure of the original while presenting it entirely in English.
