Reporter: Is there any Chinese New Year wishes and expectations on the political reform this year?

Chief Secretary for Administration: Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. I take this opportunity to send my best wishes to all the people in Hong Kong and I wish them good health and happiness in the year ahead. As far as the Government is concerned, constitutional development is one of our major priorities. And I hope that we will continue to talk and establish consensus for us to achieve jointly this common aspiration to have universal suffrage in the selection of the Chief Executive in 2017.
