President Hu Jintao has exhorted the Government and people of Hong Kong to stand united in handling issues related to the city's constitutional development and to do so in an appropriate manner.

 

Meeting Chief Executive Donald Tsang in Beijing this afternoon, Mr Hu said the Central Government launched a series measures in the past year to help the city overcome challenges arising from the global fiscal crisis.

 

Praising Hong Kong's efforts in maintaining its economic stability, the president said positive signs have been seen in the city's development and in people's confidence.

 

Urging the Hong Kong Government to continue its work in stabilising the financial system, pursuing further economic development and improving people's livelihood, the president said the city should handle constitutional development issues properly to ensure social harmony and stability.
