Today is National Day, and the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Chief Executive John Lee delivered a speech at a reception celebrating the occasion. He said the government will better share the fruits of economic developments with residents.
The National Day reception to mark the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, took place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
In his speech, Chief Executive John Lee pledged to put into practice the policies and principles outlined in the latest Policy Address, stressing that economic growth is the bedrock of livelihood improvement.
Lee said the dividends of economic developments and livelihood improvement are interconnected.
He said in this interplay process, some sectors such as finance and trading can enjoy the dividends more promptly, while some other sectors may share the benefits in a more indirect way.
He assured these dividends would eventually be shared by the whole community.
He promised to roll out policies to eliminate bottlenecks in the generation of dividends and shorten the time needed to realise efficiency gains.
Lee said the government is committed to continuously enhancing the legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security.
Meanwhile, the city leader vowed to devote all efforts in preparing for the upcoming Legislative Council election in December.
Lee quoted a line from a poem by Wang Wan from the Tang dynasty -- "With high tide and tailwind, it is time to sail a smooth ride."
Lee believes the city is moving through an irreversible economic transition, which is an essential process for a more robust economy in the future.
