Mr Sun also expressed gratitude to the Central Government and the HKMAO for their care and support.
Mr Sun said that the HKSAR Government will continue to fully, faithfully and resolutely live up to the "one country, two systems" principle, in order to govern Hong Kong in accordance with the law and improve people's livelihood, thereby striving to maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. To implement the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC Central Committee) on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese Modernization adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in supporting Hong Kong to build itself into an international hub for high-calibre talent, the HKSAR Government will continue to spare no effort in attracting talent by leveraging Hong Kong's institutional strength under "one country, two systems" to facilitate its active role in the opening up of the country.
Mr Sun and the delegation returned to Hong Kong tonight.
