习近平会见李家超

新华社北京5月30日电 国家主席习近平30日下午在钓鱼台国宾馆会见了新当选并获中央政府任命的香港特别行政区第六任行政长官李家超。

习近平对李家超当选并被中央政府任命为香港特别行政区第六任行政长官表示祝贺。习近平说，你爱国爱港立场坚定，敢于担当，积极作为，在不同岗位上都履职尽责，为维护国家安全和香港繁荣稳定作出了贡献。中央对你充分肯定，也充分信任。

习近平指出，去年以来，在新选举制度下，香港先后举行了选举委员会选举、第七届立法会选举、第六任行政长官选举，都取得成功。实践证明，新选举制度对于落实“爱国者治港”、保障香港市民行使当家作主权利、推动形成社会各阶层各界别齐心协力建设香港的良好局面都发挥了决定性作用。这是一套符合“一国两制”方针、符合香港实际、符合香港发展需要的政治制度、民主制度，必须倍加珍惜，长期坚持。

习近平强调，今年适逢香港回归祖国25周年。25年来，尽管经历了许多风雨挑战，但“一国两制”在香港的实践取得了举世公认的成功。中央全面准确贯彻“一国两制”方针的决心从没有动摇，更不会改变。在中央政府、香港特别行政区政府和社会各界的共同努力下，香港已实现由乱到治的重大转折，正处在由治及兴的关键时期。我相信，新一届特别行政区政府施政一定会展现新气象，香港发展一定会谱写新篇章。

韩正、夏宝龙等参加了会见。

Xi meets incoming HKSAR chief executive John Lee

President Xi Jinping met with John Lee, the newly elected and appointed sixth-term chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Monday afternoon at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing.

Xi congratulated Lee on winning the election and his appointment by the central government and commended Lee for his unwavering love for the country and the HKSAR, for his readiness to take on responsibilities, for his initiative, and for fulfilling his duties in different positions. Xi told Lee that he has contributed to safeguarding national security and Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, and the central authorities give full affirmation to him and have full trust in him.

Xi noted that since last year, under the new electoral system, the HKSAR has successfully held elections of the Election Committee, the seventh-term Legislative Council, and the sixth-term chief executive. It has been proved that the new electoral system played a decisive role in ensuring the implementation of the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong, ensuring the people of Hong Kong exercise their rights as masters of the region, and facilitating a good environment where people of all social strata and from all walks of life work together for Hong Kong's development. He added that the system is a political and democratic system that is in line with the "one country, two systems" principle and suited to the realities of Hong Kong and its needs for development, which thus must be cherished and upheld for a long time to come.

Xi stressed that this year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland and, despite the many challenges over the past 25 years, the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong has been a resounding success. The central authorities' resolve to fully and faithfully implement the principle of "one country, two systems" has never wavered, still less will it change. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the central government, the HKSAR government, and the whole of society, Hong Kong has achieved a return to order and is now at a crucial stage of advancing toward prosperity. He said he believes that the new HKSAR government will bring refreshing changes to governance of Hong Kong and the region will open a new chapter of development.

Senior officials including Han Zheng and Xia Baolong attended the meeting.
