Chinese President Hu Jintao met with Donald Tsang, the chief executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), in Sydney on Sunday.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 15th Economic Leaders Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.
Donald Tsang briefed Hu on Hong Kong's situation and the work of the new HKSAR government, and appreciated the central government for its full support to the HKSAR.
