Hong Kong must find advantageous position in national development plan: John Lee
City leader also says 15th five-year period is a ‘crucial’ time for Hong Kong to realise its transformation from stability to prosperity
Hong Kong should identify its “advantageous positioning” within the national development blueprint and proactively reform and adapt to changes, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu has said.
The city leader also said the 15th five-year period from 2026 to 2030, as outlined in the national blueprint, was a “new stage” for implementing the “one country, two systems” governing principle, and “crucial” for Hong Kong to realise its transformation from stability to prosperity.
The fourth plenum concluded on Thursday, with its core agenda centred on formulating the country’s 15th five-year plan for guiding development during the period.
In the communique concluding the plenum, the committee spoke about fostering the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macau, and advancing the peaceful development of relations across the Taiwan Strait as well as reunification.
In a social media post shared after the meeting attended by the city’s top three principal officials and ministers, Lee said that the plenum was of great significance, while Chinese President Xi Jinping’s work report and speech set clear instructions for advancing various tasks.
