行政長官出席2008博鰲亞洲論壇午餐會
CE at the luncheon for Boao Forum Asia Annual Conference 2008
行政長官曾蔭權於四月十二日在博鰲亞洲論壇2008年年會舉行的午餐會上致辭時表示，環境保護不再是從外國輸入或強加於亞洲國家和城市的議題。不論是香港這樣的城市，還是珠江三角洲這類更大的經濟群體，環境保護是保持繁榮興旺的成功要素。
The Chief Executive, Mr Donald Tsang, speaking at the luncheon for Boao Forum Asia Annual Conference 2008 on April 12, said that the green agenda is no longer something that is imported or foisted upon Asian countries or cities. It is an essential element in the ongoing success of cities such as Hong Kong, and of greater economic groupings such as the Pearl River Delta. |
