Beijing to roll out more measures for Hong Kong as John Lee praised for work
Central government will also make further arrangements in 15th five-year plan to support Hong Kong, National People’s Congress spokesman says
Beijing will roll out further favourable measures for Hong Kong while the coming 15th five-year plan will also step up support for the city in leveraging its unique strengths, a spokesman for the nation’s legislature has said.
“More beneficial measures for Hong Kong will continue to be implemented,” he told a briefing in Beijing ahead of the annual session of the NPC commencing on Thursday.
Lou pointed to recommendations in the 15th five-year plan, which pledged to support Hong Kong in becoming a high-end talent hub while consolidating and strengthening its role as an international financial, shipping and trade centre.
The blueprint, unveiled last October, sets out the country’s development road map through 2030.
“At the new starting point, Hong Kong will be able to fully leverage its unique advantages of having strong support from the motherland and close connections with the world,” Lou said.
