Cui Min, Ye Zhenhua, and Van Iat Kio delivered speeches, in which they affirmed the significance of the forum and the signing of the collaboration agreements. It provided a very valuable exchange platform for the three places, especially for the promotion of the collaboration of academic journals featuring traditional Chinese medicine nursing – the Chinese Journal of Integrative Nursing organised by the Beijing Office of Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing Competence Improvement Project and Macau Journal of Nursing arranged by KWNC, which is the only academic journal of nursing in the Macao Special Administrative Region. These would facilitate the exchange of information and the mobility of talents between the three places, at the same time, implementing the sharing of local high-quality senior service resources between Macao and Zhuhai, and these would promote the rapid development of senior care services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
