​The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region today (July 31) launched a public consultation for the Chief Executive's 2023 Policy Address. The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, will deliver his second Policy Address on October 25.
"My team and I, with the people of Hong Kong, have come out of the pandemic in the past year. We have been carefully listening to the voices from the people along the way and implementing concrete measures to further improve governance, create strong impetus for growth, address people's concerns and difficulties in daily life as well as uniting the community, so as to build a better Hong Kong together," Mr Lee said.
"Looking ahead, we will continue to work tirelessly and proactively to integrate into the overall development of the country. We will leverage Hong Kong's unique advantages of enjoying strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world, with a view to better serving Hong Kong citizens and fostering the city's development.
"I earnestly invite members of the public to give your views on the 2023 Policy Address. My team and I will continue to listen carefully to your views and do our utmost for the people's livelihood and the economy. We will seek to increase people's confidence through actions, narrow the gaps with concrete results and build mutual trust through achievements. Together, let's make Hong Kong a better home."
The Government will conduct more than 30 consultation sessions to listen to views and suggestions of the Legislative Council Members, representatives of various sectors and members of the public. Mr Lee and his governing team will also conduct district visits to meet with members of the public and representatives of different sectors to gather views through multiple channels.
