Hence the importance of Hong Kong's Port and Airport Development Strategy. The administration could have simply rested on its l'aurels and postponed or avoided difficult decisions. Instead it chose to work ambitiously for Hong Kong's future. In 1990 much effort was put into the planning and preparation of this project. It is only natural that China should take a close interest in a project of this size and importance. We have therefore sought to keep the Chinese Government fully informed. I am hopeful that, after further discussion China will be willing not only to give the project its support, but also to participate in it.
