Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top officials have visited a Beijing exhibition showcasing Hong Kong's achievements over the past 10 years.
As a part of celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland the Capital Museum is filled with photos, videos and other installations spotlighting Hong Kong's achievements over the past decade.
At the show, President Hu Jintao highly praised Hong Kong's achievements since it returned to China in 1997. The president says he is certain the SAR will have a splendid future with the motherland.
Hu Jintao said Hong Kong's role as a free port and an international finance, trade and shipping center has remained unchanged under the "one country, two systems" policy.
The president also said Hong Kong compatriots have become real masters of the SAR as its economy grows. Since Hong Kong's return to the mainland, residents have been enjoying better living standards and the gradual introduction of democracy.
The Chinese leader was accompanied by Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang, who also expressed great confidence in Hong Kong's future at the opening of the show.
Donald Tsang said, "The achievements Hong Kong has made during the past decade are strong proof of the central government's successful implementation of the 'One Country, Two Systems' principal. I have full confidence that, with the support of the country and people across the whole nation, the Hong Kong SAR will keep its harmony, stability and prosperity in the years to come."
Top legislator Wu Bangguo, Premier Wen Jiabao and other members of the Political Bureau's Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee also visited the exhibition Wednesday. The show is open to the public, free of charge until July 17th.
