Japanese term or phrase: 粤府
Like my previous question, this seems to be Chinese.

Here's how it appears in context:

広東省政府は、 2016 年 2 月に「広東省供給サイド構造改革のコスト削 減行動計画(2016 ~ 2018 年)」(粤府〔2016〕15 号) を発布、2016 年、2017 年の最低賃金は 2015 年の水 準を適用すると発表した

Does anyone know how this should best be rendered into English?

Thank you.

Explanation:
English-Chinese parallel legal texts gave me People's Government of Guangdong Province as an equivalent for 粤府. However the government in question seems to prefer the term Guangdong Provincial Government (link to seeming official site provided below).
