Policy Address

F. Conclusion

128.     Mr President, in my previous Policy Address I outlined a five-year blueprint for Hong Kong, and set out clear development goals.  With the concerted efforts of our governing team, the civil service and this Council, my policy agenda is being gradually implemented.  I would like to thank Honourable Members for your support.  Our track record has shown that ours is a pragmatic government that gets things done.

129.     In my view, the Chief Executive has two leadership roles — as a political leader and a government administrator.  As political leader, I have to set development goals and uphold core social values, and embody these goals and values in the policy agenda, development strategies and public policies.  To get the job done, I need to interact with and listen to the views of the Legislative Council, political parties and various sectors in the community.  Having devoted my entire career to public service, I have a reasonable grasp of the management and administrative duties as a government administrator.  As our political institution evolves, there is bound to be room for improvement for the expanded Political Appointment System, as well as the Chief Executive's mode and style of governance.
