Follow Hong Kong Investment Immigration and Hong Kong News: On the afternoon of the 17th, Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang met at Ziguangge, Zhongnanhai, with Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Leung Chun-ying, who was in Beijing to report on his work. Li heard his report on the current situation in Hong Kong and the work of the SAR government over the past year.
Li Keqiang stated that the global economic recovery remains complex and tortuous. Hong Kong's economy has seen moderate growth, the unemployment rate remains low, and society has remained stable; this achievement is truly hard-won. Currently, the country is entering a new stage of comprehensively deepening reform. With the implementation of the decision on comprehensively deepening reform made at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the country's prospects will be even brighter, which will also bring greater opportunities for Hong Kong's development.
Li Keqiang expressed that the Central Government will continue to adhere to the principles of "One Country, Two Systems," "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong," and a high degree of autonomy, act in strict accordance with the Basic Law, fully support Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying and the SAR government in governing according to law, further expand the mainland's opening-up and cooperation with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and fully leverage Hong Kong's unique role in the country's comprehensive deepening of reform and further expansion of opening-up. As long as it is conducive to the well-being of Hong Kong compatriots, conducive to promoting and deepening cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong, and conducive to maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, the Central Government will do its utmost to support it. It is hoped that the Hong Kong SAR government will seize opportunities, actively respond to challenges, strive to ensure the stability of the overall economic and financial situation, and better participate in the country's comprehensive deepening of reform and expansion of opening-up, so that Hong Kong can continue to maintain its leading position in fierce competition.
State Councilor and Secretary-General of the State Council Yang Jing and State Councilor Yang Jiechi attended the meeting.
