Chief Executive John Lee announced on Sunday that he will wear a lapel pin representing Hong Kong's first five-year plan as he delivers the city's blueprint and Policy Address on Wednesday.

Additionally, the interwoven design on the tie embodies the interconnectedness and synergy among talent, education, and various industries.
