5 COMMUNICATION WITH CHINA<br />
RAILWAY ASSOCIATION AND<br />
RAILWAY INSTITUTION<br />
Liaison with Guang Dong Railway Association was<br />
undertaken through colleagues from KCRC to enhance<br />
information sharing and future co-operation.<br />

approach to bringing two institutions together in<br />
Hong Kong.<br />
