The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Saturday (July 2) held a seminar at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre to learn and implement the gist and content of President Xi Jinping's important speech. Luo Huining, the Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, delivered a speech, saying that we should deeply understand President Xi Jinping's ardent hope for the development of Hong Kong and strive to open a new chapter of Hong Kong from governance to prosperity.
Luo Huining said that President Xi Jinping has profoundly pointed out that Hong Kong is now at a new stage from chaos to governance and from governance to prosperity, and the next five years is a critical period for Hong Kong to create a new situation and achieve a new leap forward. President Xi put forward four major requirements for seizing opportunities to start a new chapter.
First, focusing on improving the governance capability is an urgent need for Hong Kong's development from governance to prosperity. President Xi Jinping stressed that to promote the development of the HKSAR, it is of urgency to improve Hong Kong's governance system, governance capacity, and governance efficacy. The Chief Executive and the SAR Government are required to fulfill their oaths faithfully, attract talents extensively, focus on the overall situation, change the concept of governance and strengthen the management of the Government, which is also the hope of the general public. The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong will firmly support the Chief Executive and the HKSAR Government in their governance in accordance with the law.
Second, the continuous enhancement of development momentum is the basic support for Hong Kong's development from governance to prosperity. President Xi Jinping pointed out that with its special status, Hong Kong enjoys good conditions and broad space for development. Using the three full supports to guide Hong Kong to actively connect with the national development strategy, intensify international exchanges and cooperation, and actively and steadily promote reforms demonstrates the firm determination and clear requirements of the Central Government to support Hong Kong's development. Luo Huining pointed out that development is the golden key to solving various problems in Hong Kong. In the face of the increasingly fierce competition environment, all sectors of Hong Kong must be good at grasping strategic opportunities, with the sense of urgency, concentrating on development and fully unleashing the enormous creativity and development vitality of Hong Kong society.
Third, effectively resolving people's concerns and difficulties is the right thing to do for Hong Kong's development from governance to prosperity. President Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the residents' livelihood in Hong Kong, stressing that the biggest aspiration of Hong Kong people is to lead a better life, in which they will have more decent housing, more opportunities for starting their own businesses, better education for their children, and better care in their twilight years. The new SAR Government is explicitly required to be pragmatic and responsive to the Hong Kong citizens, and to make the expectations of the whole community, especially the general public, its greatest pursuit in governance. The Chief Executive John Lee announced clearly that the SAR Government will be people-oriented, concerned about citizens' aspirations, and will face up to difficulties to solve people's problems with a result-oriented approach. Luo hopes that all sectors of the community in Hong Kong can take active action to support the SAR Government, grasp the greatest public sentiment, persevere in the greatest pursuit, and break through the difficulties together, so that the fruits of development can benefit all citizens more and more fairly.
Fourth, jointly maintaining harmony and stability is an important guarantee for Hong Kong's development from governance to prosperity. President Xi Jinping pointed out that everyone in Hong Kong, regardless of profession and belief, can be a positive force and do his or her bit for the region's development as long as he or she genuinely supports the principle of "one country, two systems," loves Hong Kong, and abides by the Basic Law and the laws of the special administrative region. President Xi also expressed his earnest hope. Luo Huining hoped that all sectors of the Hong Kong community will actively respond to President Xi's call to promote mainstream values and carry forward good traditions to create a better life together.
