In what she noted were her final posts on her Facebook and Instagram accounts on Tuesday, Lam said Chinese President Xi Jinping’s expected visit and speech would point out the direction for Hong Kong.
She also wrote that she would be moving out of the Chief Executive’s Office in Admiralty and Government House in Central after completing her five-year tenure. Sharing photos of herself pictured at these landmarks, Lam thanked her colleagues for their support.
“My colleagues here have been supporting my tight work schedule, arranging my meetings, activities, banquets, daily meals, security and working hard. The parting is imminent, and everyone feels a little sad,” she said.
Lam also expressed gratitude to Hongkongers who paid attention to her posts and left comments.
Recalling the speech Xi gave when she took office in 2017, Lam said it had given her confidence when she faced difficult challenges.
