Meetings with the Chinese side in the Airport Committee resumed this month. Agreement was reached on the letting of the Western Harbour Crossing franchise, one of the airport core projects. Some progress was also made on the overall financing arrangements for the airport, but further discussions will be required. The next meeting of the Airport Committee will be held on 30 June.
