China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng on Thursday met with political advisors from Hong Kong, calling on them to stick to "one country, two systems" policy and promote harmony in the special administrative region.

Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said at the meeting that he hoped political advisors in Hong Kong can unite people from all walks of life, promote the development of Hong Kong's political system on the basis of the "one country, two systems" policy, the basic law of Hong Kong and the decisions made by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

He also urged political advisors in Hong Kong to take advantage of the chances of mainland's development and globalization, making contributions to the harmonious relations in Hong Kong, and improving the special administrative region's competitive power.

Yu asked the political advisors to act as conduits for exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland, and make contributions to understanding between the two sides.
