Government launches public consultation for 2026 Policy Address

The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) will launch a public consultation for the Chief Executive's 2026 Policy Address next Monday (June 29).

"I strive to lead my team to drive reforms by adopting a 'result-oriented' approach, focusing on actions and delivery of results, and ensuring that policy measures are effectively implemented. My team and I have always been listening to the views from different sectors, driving economic growth, improving people's livelihood, with the aim to enable the public to share the benefits of development and enhance their well-being," Mr Lee said.

"The HKSAR Government is pressing ahead at full speed with the formulation of Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan and will spare no effort in taking forward the preparatory work. As a forward-looking, strategic and directional guiding document, the Plan will map out Hong Kong's economic and social development over the coming five years. The Policy Address will set out the Chief Executive's annual policy agenda, establish a number of specific targets to respond to the requirements and directions of the Plan, report on the progress of implementation, and introduce policy measures having regard to the actual situation of the year. The HKSAR Government will strive for a vibrant economy and pursue development to enhance the well-being of the public. Hong Kong will continue to leverage the unique advantages of having strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world under the 'one country, two systems' principle, consolidate and enhance Hong Kong's status as an international financial, shipping and trading centre, accelerate its development into an international innovation and technology centre, build an international hub for high-calibre talent, proactively seizing the major opportunities brought by the National 15th Five-Year Plan, and better integrating into and serving the overall national development."

"I invite you all to share your views on the 2026 Policy Address. My team and I will listen to and consider your views carefully. We look forward to receiving your suggestions. Let's work together to write a brighter chapter for Hong Kong."

During the consultation period, the Chief Executive and the Principal Officials will, as always, attend a number of online and face-to-face consultation sessions, and will also engage the community to extensively gather the views from all walks of life, including industry representatives, district organisations, political parties and members of the public.

Starting from June 29, members of the public can offer their views through the Policy Address website (www.policyaddress.gov.hk), via the dedicated Facebook page for the Policy Address public consultation (www.facebook.com/PolicyAddressConsultation), by email (policyaddress@cepu.gov.hk), phone (2432 1899), fax (2537 9083), or by post (address: Policy Address Team, Chief Executive’s Policy Unit, 26/F, West Wing, Central Government Offices, 2 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar, Hong Kong).

London ETO supports Hong Kong-London exchange on urban climate solutions at London Climate Action Week

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London (London ETO), together with Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), supported the seminar "Connecting London and Hong Kong: Scaling Urban Climate Solutions Across Markets" in London on June 24 (London time). The seminar was organised by the Civic Exchange, the Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment and the GBA Carbon Neutrality Association during London Climate Action Week.

The seminar brought together representatives from the climate technology, finance, professional services, urban development and sustainability sectors to explore how London and Hong Kong can work together to develop, test and scale practical urban climate solutions across markets.

Speaking at the seminar, the Director-General of the London ETO, Miss Fiona Chau, highlighted Hong Kong's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality before 2050 and its effort to advance cleaner energy, greener buildings, sustainable transport and green technologies. Miss Chau said, "Delivering climate solutions requires innovation, investment, sound policy and professional expertise. Most importantly, it requires places where ideas can be tested, refined and scaled. Hong Kong's strengths as an international financial centre, together with its professional services, common law system and close integration with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, position the city well to support the development and scaling of urban climate solutions across Asia and beyond."

Over 80 participants attended the seminar and the networking reception that followed.
