Guangdong Province and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are working in cooperation to reduce regional emissions, said Hong Kong's Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works Sarah Liao here Wednesday.

"Since air pollution control started earlier in Hong Kong, we are often able to share our experience with the Chinese mainland authorities responsible for environmental protection in our cooperation," she told a Legislative Council meeting.

Also training of environmental protection staff in the mainland has been conducted through the cooperation, she added.

Guangdong and Hong Kong have also run workshops on controlling air pollution caused by motor vehicles to allow provincial and municipal authorities in the Pearl River Delta and relevant authorities in Hong Kong to share experience with a view to further enhancing the measures to reduce motor vehicle emissions in the region.
