CE listens to views at 2025 Policy Address District Forum (with photos/video)
*****************************************************************************
     The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, today (August 3) led his team of Principal Officials to attend the second 2025 Policy Address District Forum at Yuen Long Public Secondary School to continue listening to the views and suggestions of members of local communities on the upcoming Policy Address. About 120 people from different backgrounds participated in the District Forum.
 
     The two-hour District Forum consisted of two sessions. In the first session, the Chief Executive and the Principal Officials listened to the views of members of the public. The matters raised covered many areas, including land and housing, transport, innovation and technology, financial services development, culture and sports, education, youth issues, poverty alleviation and support for the disadvantaged, healthcare services, social welfare and more. In the second session, participants were divided into four groups centred on the themes of "pursuing development and economic growth" and "improving people's livelihood and building our future together" to engage in more extensive exchanges with the Chief Executive and the Principal Officials. The Chief Executive interacted and discussed with members of each group in turn and listened to their views.
 
     Mr Lee said, "The District Forums form an important part of the consultation for the annual Policy Address. I have incorporated the views received from these forums into the Policy Addresses over the past three years. I attended the District Forums on two consecutive Sundays to exchange and interact directly with the public, learning about their views on the Policy Address and understanding their expectations for Hong Kong's development. The participants' remarks have shown me their passion and confidence in Hong Kong, and have also inspired me as I prepare the Policy Address. We will carefully consider every suggestion put forward by the public and formulate policies to boost the economy and improve people's livelihoods."
 
     The public consultation for the Policy Address was launched on June 16. The Government has held more than 40 consultation sessions to date, which included two District Forums, to tap the views and suggestions of representatives from various sectors on the Policy Address. Members of the public can continue to give their views through various channels, including the Policy Address website, social media platforms, hotlines, email, fax and post.
