addressing about 400 guests at a banquet reception hosted by the SAR government.
This was the first time that a State leader had met with all Hong Kong
Legislative Council members, including those from the "pan-democratic" camp.
"In seeking common ground while reserving differences and being generous for
the common good, we aim to advance prosperity through harmony, stability and
amity by adhering to the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle and the Basic Law,
under the banner of loving the motherland and Hong Kong," Zeng told the
audience.
He emphasized: "All strata, all circles and all
political groups in Hong Kong should put Hong Kong's overall interests first and
jointly contribute to building a prosperous and harmonious Hong Kong."
