The following is issued on behalf of the Legislative Council Secretariat:

     The President of the Legislative Council (LegCo), Mr Andrew Leung, hosted a spring luncheon today (February 17) in the Dining Hall of the LegCo Complex for the Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, Executive Council Members, senior government officials and LegCo Members. Nearly 200 guests and Members attended the luncheon to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

     Mr Leung said the LegCo spring luncheon this year is particularly meaningful because it is the first one held since the epidemic. It is also the first LegCo spring luncheon held after the improvement of the electoral system, the implementation of "patriots administering Hong Kong", as well as after the Chief Executive and his governing team took office.

     Mr Leung wished the country and Hong Kong prosperity in the Year of the Rabbit. He believed the Government and the LegCo would work hand in hand to proactively plan for Hong Kong, give full play to our strengths, help Hong Kong integrate into the overall development of the country, tell the good stories of Hong Kong and open a new chapter of good governance for Hong Kong.
