Next week's high-level summit on the 11th five-year plan will move to foster a consensus for Hong Kong to consolidate its role as an international financial services, trading and shipping centre.
A government source said yesterday Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen had underlined the goal of the summit at internal meetings.
Mr Tsang will hold a breakfast meeting today with the four focus group convenors for the 11th five-year plan and affiliated bureau chiefs, setting the tone for Monday's summit.
A government source said the administration would adopt a pragmatic approach towards the challenges brought about by the plan. Mr Tsang hopes that consensus can be reached to maintain the city's role as an international financial services, trading and shipping centre.
The source said some private-sector players were doing well in seizing opportunities laid out in the plan, but others were lagging.
The government hoped the whole community could benefit and also contribute to the mainland's economic development, said the source.
