XIII CONCLUSION
65.
1990 saw a slow but steady return to normality after the difficulties of 1989. It was also a significant year
from the constitutional and political point of view, as the
Basic Law was promulgated and the territory began to prepare
for the first direct elections to the Legislative Council.
At this crucial juncture, the Government remain fully
committed to their obligations to Hong Kong under the Joint
Declaration and will continue to do all they can to ensure a prosperous and stable future for the territory and its
people.
