The plan, expected by the end of the year, will outline visions and targets for key sectors through 2030, aiming to improve both economic development and livelihoods. A new mechanism will be established between the government and LegCo to gather feedback and formulate the policy outline within a short timeframe. The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and LegCo panels will form joint platforms for research and discussions. A public consultation is planned for the fourth quarter before the plan's publication.
