Hong Kong and Macau are studying ways to further facilitate the flow of residents between the two places. The study is expected to be completed by the end of 2008 and a co-operation agreement as well as concrete implementation plans on the facilitation measures will be drawn up.

Financial Secretary John Tsang today had a high-level co-operation meeting in Macau to discuss the latest progress and future direction of co-operation between the two places.

Both sides are pleased with the progress achieved in a number of co-operation areas, in particular proposed measures to facilitate cross-boundary people flow.

Apart from the immigration front, close co-operation and communication will continue to be maintained in areas such as:

* tourism and conventions;

* cross-boundary ferry services;

* cross-boundary infrastructure;

* taxation arrangements;

* judicial assistance;

* district administration;
