Hong Kong unveils first five-year plan for economic, social development through 2030
Hong Kong has laid out its first-ever five-year blueprint for growth through to 2030. Integration with the mainland, innovation and technology, and a mega project — the Northern Metropolis — are at the heart of the city's next chapter. The city's Chief Executive John Lee delivered a nearly three-hour speech this morning. The five-year plan will now sit at the top of Hong Kong's annual policymaking cycle, while each year's policy address will become the city's implementation plan. Mr Lee added that the chief executive will have to report to Beijing on progress every year. Jeraldine Yap reports.
