THEY WOULD BE PARTICIPATING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GOVERNMENT WHICH WOULD ENDURE AS ONE OF THE SYSTEM WITHIN THE CONCEPT OF 'ONE COUNTRY, TWO SYSTEMS', HE SAID.
+AND THERE IS SATISFACTION IN TAKING PART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRUCTURE WHICH WILL BE RUN BY THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG THEMSELVES UNDER THE DIRECTION OF LEGISLATURE CONSTITUTED BY ELECTIONS' FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE.
+TO INTRODUCE THESE CHANGES WITHOUT DISTURBING, INDEED, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, WHILE INCREASING THE PACE OF SOCIAL CHANGE AND ECONOMIC EXPANSION WILL REQUIRE SENSITIVITY AND IMAGINATION, AND A HIGH DEGREE OF ADMINISTRATIVE SKILL, + MR AKERS-JONES SAID.
THESE CHANGES WOULD TAKE PLACE AS PART OF THE OVERALL GROWING DIMENSION OF HONG KONG'S DEVELOPING RELATIONS WITH CHINA, AND THE IMMENSE CHANGES TAKING PLACE WITHIN CHINA AS THE PROCESS OF MODERNISATION GATHERED MOMENTUM.
+FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO TAKE PART IN THIS GREAT ENDEAVOUR, TO EMBARK UPON A VOYAGE WHICH HAS NO PRECEDENT IN THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT, A CAREER IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF HONG KONG WILL BE A REWARDING EXPERIENCE.
+THIS YEAR'S EXHIBITION HAS, THEREFORE, A SPECIAL IMPORTANCE TO YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ABOUT TO DECIDE ON THEIR CAREERS, + HE SAID.
