The Hong Kong government plans to launch a public consultation this quarter on its first five-year blueprint aligned with national development, aiming to gather views on which policies to focus on in the coming years.
Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said on Tuesday that Hong Kong’s five-year plan would bring numerous benefits, including abundant development opportunities and enhanced competitiveness.
“The five-year plan is of significant importance to Hong Kong’s economic and social development. It affects residents and all sectors of society, as well as overall well-being. I hope the public will take part,” he said.

“The government’s preparatory work is in full swing, with plans to publish a public consultation paper within this quarter to gather views and help finalise Hong Kong’s first five-year plan.”
Lee earlier said the city would draft the five-year blueprint to proactively align with China’s 15th five-year plan, which outlines the entire country’s economic and social development targets for 2026 to 2030.
