Incoming Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu pledged on Sunday that the city’s newly appointed governance team will sincerely listen to and communicate with the public, bear in mind their interests, and address the people’s concerns.
In debuting with his new team of principal officials, Lee thanked the central government for accepting and approving his nominations, as well as its trust and support for him.
Lee said the team is united and loyal and will be result-oriented with an emphasis on team spirit and execution while sharing ideals of governance, vowing to stay committed to serving the people, enhancing the efficiency of administration, as well as reaching out and listening to the public.
Earlier on Sunday, the State Council, China’s Cabinet, appointed 26 principal officials of the sixth-term government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, based on Lee’s nominations.
The 26-strong lineup of principal officials is scheduled to assume office on July 1 with Lee. The new governing team will also be the biggest since the city’s return in 1997, with the government being expanded from the current 13 bureaus to 15 and the addition of three deputy secretaries to the three top-rank secretaries who are in charge of administration, finance and justice respectively. The incoming team comprises civil servants with extensive experience in government, professionals, and those who are skilled in their own sectors. – CHINA DAILY
