The exchange meeting between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the 8th Legislative Council elect will be held on the 18th. The Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government, Chan Kwok ki, stated that the new Legislative Council members, as enthusiastic and capable patriots, should be proactive and courageous in taking on responsibilities, and assist the SAR Government in enhancing its governance efficiency through high-quality participation and discussion. Chen Guoji said that the positive interaction between the executive and legislative branches is an important cornerstone for Hong Kong to achieve good governance and progress towards prosperity. The seventh Legislative Council, after improving the electoral system, set a good example. Under the principle of executive led governance, the Legislative Council and the government jointly focused on developing the economy, improving people's livelihoods, effectively solving various deep-seated problems, and fully demonstrating the power and value of "patriots governing Hong Kong". He stated that Hong Kong is currently at a critical historical juncture in aligning with the national "15th Five Year Plan" and comprehensively moving towards "from governance to prosperity". To transform the grand blueprint into development achievements, the key is to gather consensus and work together. Strengthening the relationship between the executive and legislative branches is not only the foundation for enhancing governance efficiency, but also a necessary element for Hong Kong to seize national strategic opportunities, stimulate its own development momentum, and solve deep-seated problems. Chen Guoji said that as an important part of the Hong Kong SAR governance team, Legislative Council members are partners of the SAR government in reform and play an indispensable role in enhancing governance capabilities. The SAR government must establish a closer and more constructive positive interactive relationship with legislators within the framework of administrative leadership and the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong". The exchange between the SAR government and the incoming legislators before the start of the new Legislative Council is an important innovation. It is hoped that through early communication, consensus can be reached during the policy formulation stage, making the SAR government's governance more in line with public opinion. Chen Guoji expressed the hope that members of the 8th Legislative Council will demonstrate greater courage and wisdom, review motions with high quality and efficiency, and promote policies and bills that are conducive to enhancing Hong Kong's competitiveness and stimulating market vitality. As representatives of public opinion and constructive partners, legislators must frequently engage with citizens and various sectors of society, deeply understand their needs and expectations, actively provide advice to the SAR government, bring their opinions and suggestions into the Legislative Council, and propose effective solutions, so that the various policy measures discussed and reviewed by the Legislative Council can truly benefit the citizens.
