Businesses In HK Protected

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will steadfastly safeguard the legitimate rights of all the enterprises in Hong Kong, and welcomes overseas enterprises to keep leveraging the city’s advantages to enhance access to the Mainland and Asian markets.

It also welcomes overseas enterprises to seize the opportunities brought about by the 14th Five-Year Plan and the nation’s development.

Responding to media enquiries relating to the 30th session of the 13th National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), the Hong Kong SAR Government said the central authorities always care about the city’s development and Hong Kong people’s well-being.

It pointed out that as the highest state organ, the National People’s Congress (NPC) and its Standing Committee make decisions on Hong Kong matters based on the city’s interests. The Hong Kong SAR Government fully supports and executes any such decisions.

The NPCSC enacted the National Security Law in June last year for promulgation and implementation in Hong Kong, and passed the amended Annex I and II to Basic Law in March this year to improve the city’s electoral system.

These two important moves have not only helped Hong Kong resolve imminent problems but also demonstrated the central authorities’ determination to uphold the “one country, two systems” principle.

It is evident that Hong Kong’s rule of law remains unchanged while its status as an international financial centre is as robust as ever.

The Hong Kong SAR Government also noted that with the ample opportunities brought about by the nation’s development, it believes that enterprises will be very confident in doing business and investing in Hong Kong.

It welcomes and is grateful for the central authorities' arrangement for a delegation to visit Hong Kong next week to introduce the 14th Five-Year Plan to different sectors through various meetings.

This will enable different sectors to better understand the national strategy and support for the city in various aspects presented in the plan announced by the NPC in March this year, it added.
