The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DABHK), adhering to
the "one country, two systems" principle and to the Basic Law, has made
contributions to Hong Kong's return to the motherland as well as its prosperity
and stability, said Chinese Vice-President Zeng Qinghong here Saturday.
Zeng made the remark in meeting with a delegation from the DABHK, which was
set up in 1992.
In the six years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the "one
country, two systems" principle has been successfully implemented, Zeng
said.
The central government will continue to stick to the principles as well as
that of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy and
the Basic Law, he said, giving support to the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region government headed by Tung Chee Hwa.
The central government will fully support the recovery and development of the
Hong Kong economy, he said.
In the meeting, the delegates reported some problems with Hong Kong's economy
and local people's lives. They said they had suggested Tung enhance economic
cooperation with Shanghai and Tung agreed.
Zeng said he agreed with the suggestion, expressing hope that the DABHK will
do more things to benefit the Hong Kong people.
