Government and community to develop closer ties
The Governor, the Rt Hon Christopher Patten, expressed the hope for continued co-operation between the Government and the community in the Year of the Pig, which symbolised productivity and prosperity.
Joining in a spring reception held by the Secretary for Home Affairs Mr Michael Suen today (Wednesday), Mr Patten said Hong Kong was made prosperous through productivity and hard work as well as good neighbourliness.
"Friendship between families, co-operation between Government and the community have helped to promote and preserve prosperity," he said.
"This year we will see important new developments in the maturing relationship between the community and Government with the first full direct elections to the Municipal Councils on March 5 and the elections to the Legislative Council in September.
"The large turnout of candidates for the Municipal Councils elections is good evidence of the community's interest in and commitment to the quality of life of this city," he said.
