Secretary for Justice Rimsky Yuen says this morning's breakfast meeting between legislators and Central Government Hong Kong Liaison Office officials paves the way for more communication in future.
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Mr Yuen said the meeting, which was the first opportunity for both parties to have a direct dialogue on constitutional development, covered matters of principle as well as specific proposals.
Some legislators commented on the consultation's progress, and liaison office officials responded in concluding remarks afterwards, he said.
In response to questions about former Secretary of Justice Wong Yan Lung’s remarks on corruption in Hong Kong, Mr Yuen said the city has spared no effort in combating corruption, and noted the Independent Commission Against Corruption monitors commercial activities involving the Mainland.
