Hong Kong Leader Meets Lawmakers on Five-Year Plan

The closed-door session at the Chief Executive’s Office included Legislative Council president Starry Lee Wai-king, House Committee chairman Ronick Chan Chun-ying, Finance Committee chairman Jimmy Ng Wing-ka, and subcommittee members Stanley Ng Chau-pei and Yim Kong.

Ka-chiu said after the meeting that the plan will focus on Hong Kong’s development and strategic plans to lay a solid foundation for growth. He added that the plan will consolidate and enhance Hong Kong’s traditional strengths while actively exploring new avenues, capitalise on Hong Kong’s distinctive advantage under the “one country, two systems” principle, and expand international development opportunities while integrating into and serving the overall national development.

The subcommittee concluded its fourth meeting on Friday and wrapped up its findings before presenting them to the chief executive. The report has not been made public.

The government plans to launch a public consultation on the five-year plan in early June, with the final plan expected to be announced by the end of this year. The plan is intended to cover Hong Kong’s development and strategic plans for the period aligned with China’s national 15th five-year plan covering 2026 to 2030.
