Updated: 2009-08-11 13:25 BEIJING: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Tuesday told Chui Sai On, the new chief executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), that he had the central government's full support. At a meeting in the central leadership compound of Zhongnanhai, in downtown Beijing, Wen handed Chui a decree from the State Council (China's Cabinet) on his appointment.
He hoped Chui would advance the SAR's economy, stability and living standards based on the achievements made by the incumbent chief executive Ho Hau Wah whose second consecutive term will end on December 19. Wen said the central government would stick to the principles of "one country, two systems," "Macao people governing Macao" and a high degree of autonomy as well as the Basic Law of the SAR to "absolutely maintain Macao's prosperity and stability." Chui expressed his gratitude for the central government's appointment and said he would carefully carry out his duties as chief executive and work with people from all walks of life to build a better Macao. The State Council agreed Monday to appoint Chui as the Macao SAR's new chief executive. Chui, 52, the only contender in the third chief executive election of the Macao SAR, was declared the winner on July 26. |
