Message from the HKPAA President
會 長 獻 詞

The Hong Kong Public Administration Association is committed to promoting good public administration.

An efficient and effective government is especially important in the final stage of transition from British to Chinese sovereignty.

Continued stability and prosperity is something that can be achieved only through mutual respect and the co-operative effort of all parties concerned - a capable civil service, a responsible legislature and an understanding community. It will be frustrated if a confrontational approach is adopted and one side tries to gain advantage over another.

To avoid misunderstanding, there is need to speak the same language and to arrive at common goals. This requires two-way communication. The Association hopes that its various activities and functions can serve as a forum for such open exchange of views.

President
