Policy Address

196.         Mr President, Honourable Members and fellow citizens, in addition to the progress and new policy initiatives that I have just outlined, the Policy Agenda published today provides details of over 160 new initiatives and more than 430 ongoing initiatives in eight policy areas.  In line with our strategies to promote economic development and improve people's livelihood, these initiatives embody the principle of my Manifesto that the Government must be appropriately proactive and seek change while maintaining overall stability.

197.         The work of my Government is beginning to bear fruit.  I must thank Principal Officials and civil servants for their unflagging efforts, and members of various advisory bodies for their active involvement.  I am also grateful for the support of the Central Government, collaboration of the Legislative Council and the trust of the people of Hong Kong.

198.         Thank you.
