To sum up.
We realise that the unique circumstances of Hong
Kong require imaginative solutions. We believe that the territory has built for itself a special position which can and must endure. We see our good relations with China and our common interest in Hong
Kong's stable future as a basis on which to build the continuity of
a society in order to provide a secure home for more than five
million people and a major centre for the benefit of the world
economy. We intend to negotiate strongly and realistically to ensure that Hong Kong will retain its essential characteristics as a
free and dynamic community.
