    The Chief Executive, Mr C Y Leung, met the visiting Special Representative for Climate Change of China, Mr Xie Zhenhua, at the Chief Executive's Office this morning (February 25) to exchange views on issues of mutual concern.

    Mr Leung welcomed Mr Xie on his visit to Hong Kong for a seminar on climate change. He noted that under Mr Xie's leadership, our country's delegation to the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris last year had made significant contributions to the negotiations, laying down a clear direction and objectives for global co-operation to address climate change.

    Mr Leung said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government attaches great importance to the efforts in addressing climate change and will continue to take forward various mitigation measures. He said he looked forward to closer co-operation with the Mainland in tackling this important issue.
