After hearing the report made by Leung on recent situation in Hong Kong and the work of the HKSAR government, Xi said that the HKSAR government has shifted its focus onto economy and people's livelihood, which received positive response from all circles in Hong Kong.
The central government fully affirms and supports the work of HKSAR chief executive and the HKSAR government, said Xi.
He expressed his hope that the HKSAR government could lead all circles in Hong Kong to build consensus on development, and concentrate on developing economy, improving people's livelihood and promoting harmony.
The HKSAR government, Xi said, should seize the opportunity of the formulation of the 13th Five-Year Plan and the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative to advance Hong Kong's long-term development. Endi
