The issue of universal suffrage in the 2017 chief executive election will be one of the key points during Chief Executive CY Leung's annual duty visit to Beijing.
Speaking to the media before departing for the capital today, Mr Leung said he will meet with state leaders and brief them on Hong Kong's latest political, economic and social developments.
Mr Leung reiterated that any change in the electoral method for selecting the chief executive must comply with the Basic Law and the National People’s Congress Standing Committee's decisions.
He added the Central Government is determined to implement universal suffrage in 2017, and the most important task now is to get two-thirds approval in the Legislative Council.
