President Hu Jintao on Friday said he hoped the Hong Kong
people sustained their sound development and continue to contribute
to future prosperity.
Hu made the remark while meeting with Donald Tsang, Chief
Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), who
came to Beijing for an annual report to the central government.
"Hong Kong is enjoying social stability and a growing economy.
The people's lives are improving as well," said Hu.
He hoped people from all walks of life would continue to work
together and achieve more economic prosperity and social
harmony.
The central government showed great concern for the interests of
Hong Kong people and seriously discussed issues with the HKSAR
government regarding economics, finance, trans-national
infrastructure construction cooperation, environmental protection
and food safety, said Hu.
