President Xi Jinping on Tuesday met with Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Chief Executive John Lee, who is on an official visit to Beijing.
During the meeting, Xi listened to a report presented by Lee on the current situation of Hong Kong and the work of the HKSAR government.
Xi said the central authorities fully recognize the work done by Lee and the HKSAR government.
The fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stressed the importance of resolutely implementing the “one country, two systems” policy, under which Hong Kong people administer Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy, and promoting long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong, Xi noted.
He called on the HKSAR government to actively align with the 15th National Five-Year Plan, uphold and improve the central role of the chief executive, promote high-quality economic development, and widely participate in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, so that Hong Kong leads better integration and makes greater contributions to the country’s overall development.
Li Qiang, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Ganjie, Chen Wenqing, Xia Baolong and other officials attended the meeting.
