The "Pan-Pearl River Delta Region" concept was first proposed by Zhang Dejiang, Chinese vice premier and former Secretary of the CPC Committee of Guangdong Province, at the 2003 International Conference on the Economic Development of Guangdong Province. The proposal received a positive response from the provincial governments of Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan.
On June 3, 2004, the governments of the nine provinces and the two special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macao) signed the Pan-Pearl River Delta Regional Co-operation Framework Agreement in Guangzhou.
The "Pan-Pearl River Delta Region" includes nine provinces–Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan–plus two special administrative regions – Hong Kong and Macao–creating the regional structure that is sometimes referred to as "9+2".
The "Pan Pearl River Delta Regional Co-operation Framework Agreement" laid a firm foundation for future co-operation in the area of infrastructure, industries and investment, commerce and trade, tourism, agriculture, labour, education and culture, information system, environmental protection and health and quarantine. Parties of the agreement agreed to establish multi leveled regional co-operation including a system of meetings between the executive heads of various administrative regions.
