Top Chinese legislator Zhang Dejiang met with a delegation led by Starry Lee Wai-king, chairwoman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Friday.
Zhang said the nation has strong momentum and sound development and is striving for the realization of the Chinese dream in line with President Xi Jinping's strategic layout for national renewal, known as the "four comprehensives".
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region should seize opportunities and work together with the central government to achieve new development, he said.
It is hoped that the DAB always sticks to its patriotic stance and actively supports and cooperates with the Hong Kong Chief Executive and government in developing the economy and improving people's living standards, Zhang said.
The DAB should continue to improve itself and further contribute to national sovereignty and Hong Kong's long-term stability and prosperity.
