Recommendations for Hong Kong's Five-Year Plan and Policy Address 2026

Today was a highly proactive day for Hong Kong. We submitted our recommendations for the "Hong Kong Five-Year Plan and Policy Address 2026" with the Chief Executive, and exchanged views with Secretary for Justice Lam Ting-kwok, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Tse Siu-wah, and Chief Executive's Policy Unit Chief Executive Wong Yuen-shan. We emphasized that in the face of global political and economic changes, Hong Kong's governance must shift from static planning of "listing projects" to dynamic governance of "setting direction, establishing systems, and promoting implementation," leveraging Hong Kong's potential as a "super value-added force" in areas such as international education, low-Track economy, and digital currency.

我們隨後召開記者會,正式發布《建立職業法官制度》專題報告。面對區域法院刑事案件輪候時間高達337日、司法空缺率達24.2%的結構性問題,我們建議建立一套「職業法官」培訓路徑,從源頭擴大法官人才庫。同時,我們強調必須嚴格區分「培訓」與「任命」,最終任命仍須由司法人員推薦委員會獨立把關,確保香港引以為傲的司法獨立不受絲毫動搖。
