  "account": "Chief Executive John Lee announced on Tuesday that Hong Kong's first five-year plan and annual Policy Address will be presented on Wednesday. During a meeting with reporters prior to the weekly Executive Council meeting, Lee explained that the five-year plan would feature a blue cover, symbolizing openness, progress, and stability. In contrast, the Policy Address will retain its green cover, representing continuity, vitality, and hope. The five-year plan will outline Hong Kong's overall direction and long-term vision, with the government focusing on reforms, creating opportunities, and ensuring that economic benefits are shared among all residents. Lee emphasized that the plan is not a planned economy but rather a strategic roadmap, detailing where the government aims to head and which areas should be prioritized.
