Chief Executive John Lee today announced the launch of a public consultation for the 2024 Policy Address.

Ahead of the Executive Council meeting this morning, Mr Lee stated that he will deliver his third Policy Address this October and invited members of the public to give their views.

He said: “We will listen to and consider your views carefully, and we look forward to receiving your views and hearing your thoughts. Let’s embrace the future together!”

Apart from holding more than 40 consultation sessions with the aim of listening to the views and suggestions of Legislative Council members, representatives of various sectors and the public, Mr Lee and principal officials will conduct district visits to meet the public and representatives of different sectors to hear their views directly.

“My team and I have been listening to your views all along, and we have put up concrete measures to improve governance, create a strong impetus for growth, earnestly address people’s concerns and difficulties in their daily lives, and work together to safeguard harmony and stability,” the Chief Executive stressed.

“Over the past year or so, we have enacted the local legislation for Article 23 of the Basic Law to fulfil the constitutional responsibility, and improved district governance. It is now the best time for Hong Kong to focus on developing our economy and improving our livelihood.

“In the days to come, the Government will continue to unite and lead society in seeking innovation and changes, and strive for excellence and success for Hong Kong. We will also stand atop and look afar, capitalise on our strengths and seize all opportunities, so as to let our people enjoy better lives,” he added.

People can give their views through the Policy Address website, the dedicated Facebook page, by email, by phone at 2432 1899 or by fax at 2537 9083.
