Chief Executive Carrie Lam ended her visit to the mainland on Saturday by holding talks with senior figures in Guangdong province on economic development and coronavirus prevention.
Lam, who met state leaders in Beijing earlier in the week to discuss proposals for her policy address, spent time with provincial figures including Party Secretary Li Xi in Guangzhou before moving on to Shenzhen.
The chief executive said she was confident about the prospects for the Greater Bay Area development.
She also gave an interview to state broadcaster CCTV, saying that the SAR would further step up its coronavirus prevention work after Beijing declined to allow Hong Kong people an exemption from a 14-day quarantine requirement when entering the mainland.
She also hailed the SAR's investment in technological innovation, which she said was worth more than HK$100 billion. She welcomed the inclusion of joint technological efforts with Shenzhen in the nation's 14th five-year plan.
Lam and her delegation returned to Hong Kong on Saturday evening.
