Chief Executive Carrie Lam today said the National 14th Five-Year Plan will bring vitality and golden opportunities to Hong Kong.

Mrs Lam made the statement at a talk held by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government on the national plan.

“Every word in the National Five-Year Plan carries enormous weight,” she pointed out, adding that she was confident in Hong Kong’s implementation of the plan.

“This is because, with the support of the Central People’s Government, the overall situation of the Hong Kong SAR has witnessed fundamental positive development in the past year or so.”

Addressing the event, Mrs Lam expressed gratitude for the country’s unwavering support in the plan for Hong Kong’s development in various key areas, and for sending a delegation comprising officials from a number of government offices to Hong Kong to brief different sectors, enabling them to accurately grasp the opportunities presented by the plan.

Themed “Actively Seizing the Opportunities of the National 14th Five-Year Plan, Hong Kong to Proactively Integrate into the Country’s Overall Development”, the event consisted of a speech session and a dialogue session, and was attended by over 200 prominent guests including a delegation led by Hong Kong & Macao Affairs Office Deputy Director Huang Liuquan, as well as Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong SAR Director Luo Huining.

The dialogue session covered topics such as Hong Kong’s development into an offshore renminbi hub and an international innovation and technology hub under the National 14th Five-Year Plan backdrop.

The delegation led by Mr Huang will meet Legislative Council members, the business community and young people to introduce the contents of the plan and its relationship with Hong Kong.
