Transcript of remarks by CE after Asian Financial Forum Opening Session (with video)
********************************************************

     Following is the transcript of remarks by the Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, at a media session after attending the Opening Session of the Asian Financial Forum at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre this morning (January 18):

Reporter: Mr Leung, in the latest development of this missing booksellers case, it is said that Gui Minhai has turned himself in, like over a conviction that he had two years ago, and then also there are reports saying that Lee Bo has asked to be left alone, so what's your take on this report? How would you follow up on the following cases with the Mainland authorities?

Chief Executive: The Gui Minhai case has not been reported to the Hong Kong Police or the Hong Kong Government. In the past 12 hours or so, and that was last night and this morning, Mainland and Hong Kong media carried reports on Mr Lee Bo and the related case. We attach a great deal of importance to such and any other information that could help the Hong Kong Police and the Hong Kong Government to understand the case better.

(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the transcript.)
