The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region today (June 16) launched a public consultation for the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address. The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, will deliver his fourth Policy Address this September.
"I have endeavoured to transform the culture of the Government into one that is result-oriented, works at a faster pace, and is proactive. My team and I have been listening to the views of the public and focusing on serving the community. We are committed to developing the economy and improving people's livelihoods to ensure our initiatives effectively respond to the needs of members of the public," Mr Lee said.
"Hong Kong continues to forge ahead with its unique advantages under the principle of 'one country, two systems', benefitting from the strong support of the motherland and remaining closely connected to the world. Hong Kong is currently facing economic restructuring. The Government will continue to lead all sectors of society in consolidating and enhancing the factors for Hong Kong's success while upholding our principles and being innovative in advancing reforms. We will endeavour to explore new growth areas, trade markets and frontiers, deepen international exchanges and co-operation, and enhance regional collaboration to foster economic growth and development.
"I invite you all to give your views on the 2025 Policy Address. My team and I will listen to and consider your views carefully, and we look forward to receiving your input to build a better Hong Kong together."
The Government will hold more than 40 consultation sessions to receive the views and suggestions of Legislative Council Members, representatives of different sectors, and members of the public. The Chief Executive and the Principal Officials will also conduct district visits to meet with members of the public and representatives of different sectors and listen to their views directly.
