Hong Kong’s leader has urged residents to pay close attention to a coming three-day debate on the city’s inaugural five-year plan and latest policy address in the legislature.

The debate on the two policy documents is set to begin on Wednesday morning and continue until Friday, according to the Legislative Council’s agenda.

“I look forward to tomorrow’s Legislative Council debate, during which government officials and lawmakers will conduct an in-depth discussion on the concept and details of the five-year plan,” Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said on Tuesday, adding that the sessions would be attended by government officials led by Chief Secretary Eric Chan Kwok-ki.

“I encourage everyone to pay close attention, as this will help you better understand the importance and significance of the five-year plan, as well as how the policy address would implement the plan’s first-year initiatives.”
