The central government fully supports the future work plan of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government, President Xi Jinping said yesterday.
Xi made the remarks while meeting with Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor and several other officials.
The central government fully supports the HKSAR’s future work plan put forward by the chief executive during her duty visit to Beijing earlier this week, Xi said, expressing the hope that all government departments of the HKSAR, under the leadership of the chief executive, will continue to perform their duties while closely coordinating with each other.
“The central government fully acknowledges your courage and sense of mission during the special period for Hong Kong,” Xi told Lam.
