“What impressed me most was he kept reminding me to develop the economy so as to address people’s concerns about livelihood. And he asked me to implement measures to ensure the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. His words always remained on my mind and I have been implementing policies such as the ones I have announced in my policy address in accordance with his direction,” he said.

Lee recalled receiving his official appointment letter from the late premier and reporting to him around 17 months ago in Beijing.

“Whenever he spoke to me about Hong Kong, I felt very clearly the deep love that he had for the city. He asked me to be sure to implement fully and faithfully the principle of One country, Two systems.”

The CE said he would wait for the central government’s announcement to see what arrangements there will be to commemorate the late premier.
