新華社北京5月30日電 國家主席習(xí)近平30日下午在釣魚臺國賓館會見了新當(dāng)選并獲中央政府任命的香港特別行政區(qū)第六任行政長官李家超。

習(xí)近平對李家超當(dāng)選并被中央政府任命為香港特別行政區(qū)第六任行政長官表示祝賀。習(xí)近平說，你愛國愛港立場堅定，敢于擔(dān)當(dāng)，積極作為，在不同崗位上都履職盡責(zé)，為維護國家安全和香港繁榮穩(wěn)定作出了貢獻。中央對你充分肯定，也充分信任。

習(xí)近平指出，去年以來，在新選舉制度下，香港先后舉行了選舉委員會選舉、第七屆立法會選舉、第六任行政長官選舉，都取得成功。實踐證明，新選舉制度對于落實“愛國者治港”、保障香港市民行使當(dāng)家作主權(quán)利、推動形成社會各階層各界別齊心協(xié)力建設(shè)香港的良好局面都發(fā)揮了決定性作用。這是一套符合“一國兩制”方針、符合香港實際、符合香港發(fā)展需要的政治制度、民主制度，必須倍加珍惜，長期堅持。

習(xí)近平強調(diào)，今年適逢香港回歸祖國25周年。25年來，盡管經(jīng)歷了許多風(fēng)雨挑戰(zhàn)，但“一國兩制”在香港的實踐取得了舉世公認的成功。中央全面準(zhǔn)確貫徹“一國兩制”方針的決心從沒有動搖，更不會改變。在中央政府、香港特別行政區(qū)政府和社會各界的共同努力下，香港已實現(xiàn)由亂到治的重大轉(zhuǎn)折，正處在由治及興的關(guān)鍵時期。我相信，新一屆特別行政區(qū)政府施政一定會展現(xiàn)新氣象，香港發(fā)展一定會譜寫新篇章。

韓正、夏寶龍等參加了會見。

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.
