Communication key: Chief Executive Donald Tsang said discussion is crucial in tackling diversity.

Chief Executive Donald Tsang has dismissed the so-called "anti-Tsang" movement as hearsay, saying "rumours stop at the wise". Mr Tsang said it is normal for people to have different views on an issue, and better communication is crucial in tackling diversity.

Talking to the media in Beijing tonight after wrapping up the day's activities, Mr Tsang said he has briefed several ministers on the latest developments in Hong Kong, and discussed ways to enhance mutual co-operation. He said his visit will strengthen ties with various ministers, thanking them for their support to Hong Kong in the past eight years.

In his meeting with Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai today, Mr Tsang said they agreed to expand the function of CEPA. As June 29 marks the third anniversary of CEPA, all related provinces and cities, including Hong Kong, will hold a series of events on review and planning.

Other meetings

Mr Tsang also met National Development & Reform Commission Minister Ma Kai and both agreed that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge must be built for the benefit of all three places. The Government will plan the Hong Kong section of the bridge, he said, adding that he hopes the project will start as soon as possible.

Mr Tsang discussed with State Administration of Radio, Film & Television Wang Taihua co-operation in film production, saying Hong Kong has the edge while the Mainland has the resources. He hoped both sides join hands to get into the international film market.

Mr Tsang said Beijing mayor Wang Qishan has expressed his wish to learn from Hong Kong's experience in town planning, while both have agreed to strengthen exchange among officials, particularly in the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

He also discussed with Public Security Bureau officials the extension of the Individual Visit Scheme to all provincial capitals in the Pan-Pearl River Delta region, and joint efforts in combating cross-boundary crime. On delta development, Mr Tsang said he will meet leaders of several provinces and cities in the next few days.
