China News Agency, Hong Kong, January 1 (Reporter Han Xingtong) The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, delivered a New Year's message on the 1st, saying that the SAR government has two major goals this year, including ensuring that Hong Kong will be freed from the epidemic within this year, and fully implement the new year's goal. The various tasks proposed in the first policy address.
Li Jiachao said that looking back on 2022, Hong Kong has written a new chapter. Under the epidemic, society has steadily returned to normal. Many international events and large-scale activities are held in Hong Kong in an orderly and safe manner, and the overall social atmosphere is getting better and better.
Looking ahead to the new year, he hopes that Hong Kong will usher in a more prosperous 2023.
Li Jiachao mentioned that the SAR government has two major goals in the new year, one of which is to restore the life of citizens to the normal situation before the epidemic as much as possible.
As the SAR government optimized the epidemic prevention measures earlier, only maintaining the "mask order", canceling social distance restrictions, and gradually "clearing customs" in an orderly and comprehensive manner, economic activities will resume quickly, and consumer demand is expected to rise a lot. The outlook is optimistic, and we are actively recruiting more manpower, preparing to capture the good opportunity of economic recovery.
Li Jiachao said that with the advantage of being backed by the mainland and being connected to the world, Hong Kong once again shines on the international stage and has become a bridge connecting the mainland and the world.
He and the governance team will do everything possible to promote various livelihood and economic activities in society, and ensure that Hong Kong will be freed from the epidemic and return to normal within this year.
In addition, Li Jiachao also said that the SAR government will fully implement the various tasks proposed in the new policy report, enhance development momentum, resolve people's livelihood difficulties, build a healthy, vibrant, caring and inclusive Hong Kong, and promote youth Development and education, to achieve a new leap forward.
