Educating HK youth on Basic Law encouraged

To strengthen ties between the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attention should be focused on legal cooperation and law education among youth, advisers of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference said on Tuesday.

This would be an effective way to achieve the goal of universal suffrage in selecting Hong Kong's next chief executive in 2017, the advisers said.

Eliza Chan, a CPPCC member from Hong Kong and the honorary president of the Hong Kong China Chamber of Commerce, said that to limit personal trips from the mainland to Hong Kong would not solve conflicts.
