行政长官出席2008博鳌亚洲论坛午餐会
CE at the luncheon for Boao Forum Asia Annual Conference 2008
行政长官曾荫权于四月十二日在博鳌亚洲论坛2008年年会举行的午餐会上致辞时表示，环境保护不再是从外国输入或强加于亚洲国家和城市的议题。不论是香港这样的城市，还是珠江三角洲这类更大的经济群体，环境保护是保持繁荣兴旺的成功要素。
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. |
