Noting that 2020 was a challenging year for Hong Kong, Li said Lam has led the HKSAR government in fighting COVID-19, reviving the economy, addressing people's difficulties, stabilizing society, and actively seeking policy support from the central authorities to help Hong Kong better integrate its development into the overall development of the country.

"The central authorities fully acknowledge your performance and the performance of the HKSAR government in fulfilling duties," Li said.
