On July 16, the Guangzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau (Guangzhou Foreign Experts Affairs Bureau) signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Zhoutouzui Immigration Inspection Station of the Guangzhou General Station of Immigration Inspection, marking the beginning of efforts to establish a convenient entry abd exit inspection mechanism for high-end talent.
According to the agreement, both parties will explore providing exclusive entry-exit security services for high-level talent from key technology enterprises in fields such as the internet and artificial intelligence in the Pazhou Area, Haizhu District.
