Legislative Council president Andrew Leung on Friday hailed a spring luncheon with top government officials as a sign of Hong Kong's complete return to normality.
"As we enter the Year of the Rabbit, everything starts afresh – and the Legco spring luncheon is also back," Leung said in a speech before the meal, which was attended by more than 200 people.
"Not only can we all get together and have a good time, this also shows that Hong Kong has fully returned to normality in a positive manner."
He said this was the first get-together since the election system was revamped, adding that the relationship between the executive and the legislature will only get better as they develop even closer ties.
The Legco chief also noted that he and Chief Executive John Lee are working on plans to lead a delegation to visit the Greater Bay Area.
