Chief Executive John Lee on Monday expressed confidence in the unity of Hongkongers to create a better society.

In a Facebook post, the Chief Executive said he would keep the green cover for his policy address on Wednesday as the colour symbolises hope, vitality and harmony.

He added that he and his team will wear green ties and scarves designed by teachers and students from the Hong Kong Design Institute to show their team spirit.

He noted that the ties and scarves were inspired by traditional patterns of various Chinese dynasties, incorporating modern elements while preserving Chinese culture.

"My team and I want to support the work of the young people and encourage the community to create more opportunities for our students to be creative and make the most of their talents," he said.
