Proactively Aligning with the 15th Plan
29. The Recommendations for Formulating the 15th Five‑Year Plan (The Recommendations) delineate the overall approach, strategic goals and major initiatives for our country's development in the next five years. It is a strategic blueprint for setting out the direction of the full implementation of Chinese modernisation.
30. The Recommendations also give explicit support to Hong Kong in better integrating into and serving the overall national development, consolidating and enhancing its status as an international financial, shipping and trade centre, while developing into an international I&T centre and an international hub for high‑calibre talents. Hong Kong can contribute in various key areas:
| (a) | Contributing to building a modernised industrial system and accelerating high‑level scientific and technological self‑reliance of our country: With strong basic research capabilities, Hong Kong possesses unique edge in AI, life and health technology, fintech, as well as new materials and new energy. Being an international financial centre, Hong Kong will drive "Finance+", capitalising on our financial sector to better serve the real economy and industries with competitive edge, and pressing ahead towards mutual empowerment of finance and I&T. In so doing, we can leverage our strengths to serve the country's needs; |
| (b) | Proactively participating in our country's development in promoting high‑standard opening up: Hong Kong possesses unique institutional strength under "One Country, Two Systems". With our efficient aviation, shipping and logistics services, we serve as a "super connector" and "super value-adder" to help enterprises go global and bring in external investments, fostering two‑way trade and investment; and |
| (c) | Bringing together high‑calibre talents from across the globe: Hong Kong's world‑class universities and internationalised environment are conducive to attracting and bringing in top global talents in various sectors, particularly leading experts in the scientific research field from around the world. We will keep nurturing local talents, aligning with the integrated development of "Education, Technology and Talent" of our country. |
31. The Chief Executive will lead a cross-bureau, cross-departmental task force for Hong Kong to proactively align with the 15th Five-Year Plan, and for the first time, to formulate Hong Kong's five-year plan. We will integrate more actively into and serve the overall national development. With the synergy between a capable government and an efficient market, we aim at driving high-quality, high value-added and diversified economic growth.
