The Government will launch a public consultation for the 2026 Policy Address next Monday.

Chief Executive John Lee said: “I strive to lead my team to drive reforms by adopting a result-oriented approach, focusing on actions and delivery of results, and ensuring that policy measures are effectively implemented.

“My team and I have always been listening to the views from different sectors, driving economic growth, improving people's livelihood, with the aim to enable the public to share the benefits of development and enhance their well-being.”

He highlighted that the Government is pressing ahead at full speed with the formulation of Hong Kong's first five-year plan, explaining that as a forward-looking, strategic and directional guiding document, it will map out Hong Kong's economic and social development over the coming five years.

Mr Lee said the Policy Address will set out the Chief Executive's annual policy agenda, establish a number of specific targets in response to the plan's requirements and directions, report on the progress of policy implementation, and introduce measures suited to the city's actual situation. The Government will also strive for a vibrant economy and pursue development to enhance public well-being.

The Chief Executive added that Hong Kong will continue to leverage the unique advantages of having strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world under the “one country, two systems” principle, consolidate and enhance the city's status as an international financial, shipping and trading centre, accelerate its development as an international innovation and technology centre, and build an international hub for high-calibre talent, thereby seizing opportunities brought by the National 15th Five-Year Plan, and better integrating into and serving national development overall.

“I invite you all to share your views on the 2026 Policy Address,” he added. “My team and I will listen to and consider your views carefully. We look forward to receiving your suggestions. Let's work together to write a brighter chapter for Hong Kong.”

During the consultation period, the Chief Executive and principal officials will attend a number of online and face-to-face consultation sessions, and will also engage with the community extensively to gather views.

Starting from June 29, people can offer their views through the Policy Address website, via the dedicated Facebook page, by email, by phone on 2432 1899, by fax on 2537 9083, or by post to 26/F, West Wing, Central Government Offices, 2 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar, Hong Kong.
