HKSAR Government holds seminar on learning spirit of "two sessions" (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The second annual session of the 14th National People's Congress and the second session of the 14th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee ("two sessions") were concluded successfully in March this year. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government today (April 9) held a seminar on learning the spirit of the "two sessions" at the Central Government Offices, so as to enable the participants to have a deeper understanding of the essence of the "two sessions" and its significance to Hong Kong's future development.
 
     The seminar was hosted by the Chief Executive, Mr John Lee. The Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR, Mr Zheng Yanxiong, was invited to the seminar to share his views. The seminar was attended by more than 200 participants, including Principal Officials of the HKSAR Government, Members of the Executive Council and Legislative Council, Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Department.
 
     Speaking at the seminar, Director Zheng pointed out that the HKSAR has to grasp the spirit of the "two sessions" focusing on seven aspects. They are, namely, grasping deeply the spirit of the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping; grasping the significant achievements of the country on all fronts over the past year; grasping the determination and confidence in national economic and social development; grasping the tenet that high-quality development is the fundamental principle of the new era; grasping the strategic plans for developing new quality productive forces; grasping the various plans for this year's agenda put forward by the "two sessions"; and grasping the profound importance and key plans for Hong Kong as highlighted by the "two sessions". The government work report made a number of references to significant plans closely related to Hong Kong, including financial services, supporting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to better play its role as power sources for high-quality development, promoting high-quality Belt and Road co-operation, and promoting entry to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. The important development paths mentioned in the report, in particular those concerning high-quality development and the development of new quality productive forces, deserve a high degree of attention from Hong Kong.
 
     On behalf of the HKSAR Government, Mr Lee expressed his gratitude to Director Zheng for his sharing, which benefited the participants greatly by giving them a deeper understanding of the spirit of the "two sessions". He sincerely thanked the Central Government for fully acknowledging and staunchly supporting the work of the HKSAR Government. He pointed out that the Central Government's unwavering support for the high-quality development of Hong Kong's economy had brought significant historic opportunities for Hong Kong's development. He encouraged the HKSAR Government officials and all sectors of the community to implement the spirit of the "two sessions" and remain united to give full play to it in their work, leveraging the advantages of "one country, two systems" to better seize the nation's high-quality development opportunities and integrate into the country’s overall development.
