Beijingโs liaison office in Hong Kong has pledged to support the cityโs integration into national development plans while stressing the importance of studying and applying the โspiritโ of the countryโs recent political leadership meeting, which will shape policymaking over the next five years.
The head of the central governmentโs liaison office, Zhou Ji, conveyed on Saturday the guiding ideology of the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and laid out the work requirements for the city. The plenary session concluded on Thursday.
The meeting, which was attended by the heads of various departments of the office and representatives of other Beijingโs arms in Hong Kong, stressed that studying and implementing the spirit of the fourth plenum was โa major political task for the office at present and in the futureโ, the liaisonโs office said on its website.
It also pointed out that the โ15th five-year planโ, which covers the years from 2026 to 2030, is a critical period for promoting high-quality economic and social development in Hong Kong and playing a better role in building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
โWe must accurately grasp the historic opportunities brought to Hong Kong by national development, support Hong Kong in better integrating into and serving the overall national development,โ it said.
โWe must also better fulfil the important mission of implementing โone country, two systemsโ in the new era during the 15th five-year plan period.โ
