Donald Tsang mourns Henry Fok
*

Chief Executive Donald Tsang has expressed his sadness at the death of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee Vice Chairman Henry Fok. He died in Beijing Saturday.

 

Noting Mr Fok's death is a loss to the country and to Hong Kong, Mr Tsang extended his deepest condolences to Mr Fok's family.

 

"We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his invaluable contribution to Hong Kong's reunification with the motherland," the Chief Executive said. "He will be dearly missed by his family and friends."

 

Mr Fok helped the opening of China's economy and the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.

 

In the run-up to the reunification, Mr Fok took up a number of important positions, including member of the Basic Law Drafting Committee, Advisor on Hong Kong Affairs, Vice Chairman of the Preliminary Working Committee for the Preparatory Committee of the HKSAR and Vice Chairman of the Preparatory Committee of the HKSAR.

 

Mr Fok contributed to the development of industries in Hong Kong, and was also extensively involved in charitable and community work and the development of sport both in Hong Kong and the Mainland. 

 

He was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal in 1997.
