Chief Executive John Lee will deliver his third Policy Address in October. The Chief Executive's Council of Advisers (CECA) held three luncheon meetings on July 22, July 23 and today (July 25) to gather members' opinions on this year's Policy Address.
The Chief Executive chaired the three-day meeting and organized according to the CECA members' three groups: high-quality and sustainable economic development, innovation and entrepreneurship, and regional and global collaboration.
Chief Secretary Eric Chan, Financial Secretary Paul Chan, and Acting Secretary for Justice Horace Cheung attended the three meetings, respectively. Carol Yip, the director of the chief executive's office, and the head of the chief executive's policy unit, Dr. Stephen Wong, also participated.
The CECA discussed vital issues concerning Hong Kong's future development, including how Hong Kong can consolidate its status as an international financial, shipping, and trade center amid economic transformation and geopolitical changes, better integrate into the national development plan to find opportunities, and how to boost local innovation and technology development by attracting capital and talent.
"I would like to thank the members of the Advisory Panel for attending the meeting on their busy schedules and for their active participation in offering their views and suggestions on the present situation and future development of Hong Kong, which will be helpful to me in writing this year's Policy Address," Lee said.
The Chief Executive set up a panel of advisers in March last year to listen to views on Hong Kong's strategic development to capitalize on national and global development opportunities.
