President Xi Jinping yesterday commended central government officials based in Macau and senior executives of local branches of mainland enterprises and institutions for their dedication to the successful practice of “One Country, Two Systems.”
During his meeting with the officials and executives, Xi said that the Macau-based central government offices have firmly implemented decisions and plans of the central government and actively supported the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) government in its law-based governance over the past 20 years.
In the meantime, local branches of mainland enterprises and institutions have participated in the development of the MSAR, pushing forward the MSAR to prosper together with Macau’s enterprises, Xi said.
“The central authorities fully acknowledge your work,” Xi said.
He said that the 19th CPC Central Committee at its fourth plenary session finalized an outline on upholding and improving the institutional system of “One Country, Two Systems,” which should serve as a guideline for the work related to Hong Kong and Macau at present and for a period to come, Xi said, urging earnest studying, understanding and thorough implementation of the outline.
Xi expressed hope that the central government officials and mainland business executives in Macau will dedicate themselves even more to the new phase of the cause of “One Country, Two Systems” in Macau. – Xinhua, MPD
