　　习近平指出，一年来，香港由乱到治的局面不断巩固，局势不断向好发展。新冠肺炎疫情防控成效明显，经济逐步复苏，社会保持安定。林郑月娥行政长官领导特别行政区政府，依照全国人大有关决定和全国人大常委会有关立法，对香港选举制度作出系统性修改完善；成功举办选举委员会选举和立法会选举，推动符合香港实际的民主发展迈出坚实步伐；坚决执行香港国安法，依法止暴制乱、拨乱反正，维护法治的权威和尊严；采取积极措施，推动特别行政区融入国家发展大局，全面深化同内地交流合作。中央对林郑月娥行政长官和特别行政区政府的工作是充分肯定的。

　　习近平指出，几天前，香港举行了第七届立法会选举。在新选举制度下，香港特别行政区选举委员会选举和第七届立法会选举先后举行，都取得了成功。广大香港同胞当家作主的民主权利得到体现，“爱国者治港”原则得到落实，社会各阶层各界别广泛、均衡参与的政治格局得到确立。实践证明，新选举制度符合“一国两制”原则，符合香港实际，为确保“一国两制”行稳致远、确保香港长期繁荣稳定提供了制度支撑，是一套好制度。

BEIJING, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- President Xi Jinping on Wednesday met with Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam, who is on a duty visit to Beijing.

During the meeting, Xi heard a report from Lam on Hong Kong's current situation and the HKSAR government's work.

Over the past year, Hong Kong has consolidated the achievements in restoring order and the situation has constantly improved, Xi said, adding that the region has achieved notable results in COVID-19 response, steadily recovered its economy and maintained social stability.

Lam has led the HKSAR government in making systematic changes and improvements to Hong Kong's electoral system in accordance with relevant decision of the National People's Congress (NPC) and relevant legislation of the NPC Standing Committee, Xi said.

Lam has also led the HKSAR government in successfully holding elections of the Election Committee and the Legislative Council (LegCo), resolutely implementing the Hong Kong national security law, and taking active measures to promote the HKSAR's integration into the overall development of the country and comprehensively deepen its exchanges and cooperation with the mainland, Xi said.

The central authorities fully acknowledge the work of Lam and the HKSAR government, Xi said.

Xi said the elections of the Election Committee and the seventh LegCo held under the new electoral system were both successful, with democratic rights of Hong Kong residents reflected, the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong" implemented, and a political landscape established with wide and balanced participation from all social groups and constituencies.

Practice has proven that the new electoral system adheres to the "one country, two systems" principle and fits Hong Kong's realities, Xi said, calling it a good system that will provide strong institutional support for the steady and sustained development of "one country, two systems" and Hong Kong's enduring prosperity and stability.

Noting that "one country, two systems" is conducive to safeguarding the fundamental interests of the country, the HKSAR and Hong Kong compatriots, Xi said the central authorities will continue to unswervingly implement the "one country, two systems" principle.

Senior officials including Han Zheng, Ding Xuexiang, Guo Shengkun, You Quan, Wang Yi and Xia Baolong attended the meeting. Enditem
