Carrie Lam

I am the first female chief executive of Hong Kong. ”

I firmly believe that the wider community supports achieving the goal of universal suffrage for 2017 according to law. I also believe most political parties do not want to see a failure to attain the goal. ”

We should widen our economic base and encourage businesses to move up the value chain and increase job diversity. ”

You cannot appreciate the sense of satisfaction that I get from my job. ”

I think it's not just a matter of building more houses, more flats. We need to have the right policies. I want people to be able to own their flats. ”

A consensus on realising the goal of universal suffrage is not unattainable if we bear the common good in mind, move a step further, and try to resolve the differences or even stop insisting on some of one's own views. ”

Our common goal is to keep Hong Kong from chaos, severe polarisation, and violence. ”

Any proposal that would usurp or water down the rights of the nominating committee would not be able to receive political support. ”

I have been a civil servant and a politician for over 30 years. ”

I have talked to my husband and asked him to come back and be with me more. He likes to stay in Britain and do what he likes to do. ”
