President Xi Jinping on Wednesday met with Ho Iat Seng, the newly elected and appointed chief executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Xi congratulated Ho on his appointment by the central government as the fifth-term chief executive of the Macao SAR.
Xi said that Ho has long adhered to the position of loving the country and Macao, enthusiastically served the Macao society, worked wholeheartedly on public posts including as a member of the National People's Congress Standing Committee and president of the Legislative Assembly of the Macao SAR, and made contributions to the country's reform and opening up, modernization, as well as prosperity and stability of Macao, adding that the central government fully recognizes such efforts.
Xi further said that Ho's nomination and election with overwhelming support fully show "that you have won broad endorsement in Macao."
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland.
For the past 20 years, under the leadership of two chief executives Edmund Ho Hau Wah and Chui Sai On, the Macao SAR government has united people from all walks of life, fully and accurately understood and implemented the principle of "one country, two systems," firmly upheld the authority of the Constitution and the Basic Law, passed on the core values of loving the country and Macao, promoted Macao's rapid economic growth, sustained improvement in people's livelihood and social stability and harmony, demonstrating to the world a successful practice of "one country, two systems" with Macao characteristics, said Xi.
"One country, two systems" has proved to be a workable solution welcomed by the people, said Xi.
Xi hoped that Ho will accurately grasp Macao's situation and the country's strategic development needs, unite and lead the Macao SAR government and people from all walks of life to strive for the region's long-term development and continue the successful implementation of "one country, two systems."
Ho said he is honored to be appointed as the fifth-term chief executive of the Macao SAR by the central government.
Ho pledged, under the leadership of President Xi and the central government, to firmly implement the "one country, two systems" principle, safeguard the authority of the Constitution and the Basic Law, maintain favorable relations between the central government and the Macao SAR, uphold the central government's overall governing power, defend the country's sovereignty, security and development interests and make steady progress in implementing the "one country, two systems" principle.
Han Zheng and other senior officials also attended the meeting.
Earlier during the day, Premier Li Keqiang handed Ho a State Council decree to appoint him as the fifth-term chief executive of the Macao SAR when meeting with Ho in the central leadership compound of Zhongnanhai in Beijing.
Li congratulated Ho on his election as the fifth-term chief executive of the Macao SAR.
Since Macao's return to the motherland, the principle of "one country, two systems" and the Basic Law of the Macao SAR have been fully implemented, Li said, noting that Macao has seen rapid economic development and continuously improving living standards, and enjoys social harmony and stability.
These are results of the joint work of the Macao SAR government and people from all walks of life in Macao led by the previous chief executives, and are also inseparable from the strong support of the central government and the mainland, Li said.
Stressing that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland, Li said the central government will continue to fully and faithfully implement the policies of "one country, two systems," "the people of Macao governing Macao" and a high degree of autonomy for the region, and to act in strict compliance with China's Constitution and the Basic Law of the Macao SAR.
Li said he hoped and believed that the chief executive will lead the Macao SAR government and people from all walks of life in Macao to work hard, make good use of the opportunities brought by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and make new achievements in the practice of "one country, two systems" in Macao.
Ho thanked the central government for his appointment, and said he will remain unswervingly committed to the implementation of the "one country, two systems."
He pledged to make every effort to improve people's wellbeing, be actively involved in the building of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and consolidate the good momentum of Macao's development since its return to the motherland.
The decree-bestowing ceremony was chaired by Vice Premier Han Zheng.
