DRAFT STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER

RONG TRONG

"All of us know the great importance of Britain's responsibilities towards the people of Hong

Kong.

The Governor has consulted widely in Hong Kong

on the agenda for the next five years an agenda which he has set out in his speech to the Hong Kong Legislative Council today. I fully endorse his approach, which I am

certain represents the best way forward for Hong Kong.

I commend it to the people of the Territory and to their representatives in the Legislative Council."
