The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government today invited members of the publicity delegation for the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC Central Committee) to attend a sharing session at Central Government Offices hosted by Financial Secretary Paul Chan.

At the session, National People’s Congress Constitution & Law Committee Vice-chairperson and Chairman of the Legislative Affairs Commission of National People’s Congress Standing Committee Shen Chunyao, as well as Secretary of the CPC Leadership Group of the Ministry of Commerce and Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao, held in-depth exchanges with around 50 representatives of local and foreign chambers of commerce, universities, innovation and technology (I&T) institutions, the professional services sector, and strategic I&T enterprises.

Mr Shen and Mr Wang shared their understanding of the spirit of the plenary session, elaborating on the importance of deepening reform and promoting Chinese modernisation. They also spoke about the Resolution of the Plenary Session, specifically in relation to measures aimed at improving the high-quality opening up of institutional mechanisms, and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.

Furthermore, they encouraged Hong Kong to leverage its existing advantages and capitalise on its circumstances in order to give full play to its strengths, adding that the city should integrate itself into the tide of national reform, seize the immense opportunities generated by Chinese modernisation, and achieve greater success.

After listening to 10 participants’ thoughts on how they can implement the spirit of the plenary session within their respective business fields, and on Hong Kong’s directions for development, Mr Shen and Mr Wang responded to the participants’ opinions in detail.

Giving his concluding remarks on the meeting, the Financial Secretary stressed that the plenary session confirmed the overall goal of further deepening reform in the country.

The national strategy of advancing the comprehensive improvement of the economy and society, and of people’s living standards, will bring vast opportunities to Hong Kong, Mr Chan said.

He also expressed his hope that the industrial, business and I&T sectors will study and develop a thorough understanding of the spirit of the plenary session, and work with an innovative mindset and a strong sense of responsibility, so that Hong Kong can continue to develop and also contribute to the country's high-quality development.
