"Today marks the 12th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. I am greatly honoured to celebrate this occasion with all of you.
This has been a challenging year for Hong Kong. Whilst the financial tsunami has impacted heavily on economies around the world, the threat of a new strain of influenza has also kept every government on high alert.
Since reunification, Hong Kong has had to deal with many different challenges. During this current set of challenges, we are confident we will be able to revitalise our economy, take good care of our people, and fight against the flu pandemic. With perseverance and determination, and most importantly with the all-out support of our country, I am sure we will again prove our resilience and mettle.
Now, please join me in a toast: 'To a better and brighter future for Hong Kong and our country!'" |
