Following is the transcript of remarks by the Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, at a media session after attending the Hong Kong Economic Summit today (December 9):
Reporter: Mr Leung, how would you respond to Raymond Wong's statement that revolution ...?
Chief Executive: The consultation and the reform of the consultation process are very, very important part of our political work, not just for the Hong Kong Government but for the entire community. It is important that we do this work well. The Government is sincere, the Government has been putting a lot of effort into this, and we are open-minded and we want to listen to the views of the members of this community, including members of Legislative Council. Violence does not help, but we need a peaceful and accommodating process of consultation, and this is what I and my senior colleagues of Government have stated time and again.
