Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 30 (Xinhua) -- President Xi Jinping met at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse on the afternoon of the 30th with Li Jiachao, the newly elected and the sixth chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region appointed by the central government.
Xi Jinping congratulated Li Jiachao on his election and appointment by the central government as the sixth chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Xi Jinping said, your stance on loving the country and Hong Kong is firm, you have the courage to take responsibility, you are active, and you have performed your duties with due diligence in different positions, making contributions to safeguarding national security and Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
The central government fully affirms and fully trusts you.
Xi Jinping pointed out that since last year, under the new electoral system, Hong Kong has successively held elections for the Election Committee, the seventh Legislative Council election, and the sixth Chief Executive election, all of which have been successful.
Practice has proved that the new electoral system has played a decisive role in implementing "patriots ruling Hong Kong", ensuring that Hong Kong citizens can exercise their right to be the masters of the country, and promoting the formation of a good situation in which all sectors of society work together to build Hong Kong.
This is a set of political and democratic systems that conform to the "one country, two systems" policy, Hong Kong's reality, and Hong Kong's development needs. It must be cherished and upheld for a long time.
Xi Jinping stressed that this year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
Over the past 25 years, despite many challenges, the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong has achieved universally recognized success.
The central government's determination to fully and accurately implement the "one country, two systems" policy has never wavered, nor will it change.
With the joint efforts of the Central Government, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and all sectors of society, Hong Kong has achieved a major transition from chaos to governance, and is now in a critical period from governance to prosperity.
I believe that the administration of the new Special Administrative Region Government will definitely show a new atmosphere, and Hong Kong's development will definitely write a new chapter.
Han Zheng and Xia Baolong attended the meeting.
