Talks On Extradition Law Changes To Continue: CE

Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on Tuesday that her administration will push ahead with its work on amending extradition legislation and is continuing consultations on this with different business chambers and others.

But she refused to divulge more. "When we are in a position on what will happen, as far as the legislative amendments are concerned, then we would do so," she said.

Lam also said she does not want to comment on remarks made by "external parties".

A Taiwan official had said on Monday that the island could issue a travel warning for Hong Kong if the SAR government goes ahead with the proposal that will allow people wanted by other jurisdictions, including the mainland, to be surrendered on a case-by-case basis.

Lam again defended the planned law changes, saying the aim is to make Hong Kong more secure.
