MACAO, Dec. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- President Hu Jintao on Monday said stability should
be maintained in Macao and that an "inclusive and harmonious society"
should be built in the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR).
Hu, who arrived here Sunday on a two-day trip, made the call during a
celebration gathering marking the 5th anniversary of Macao's return to the
motherland and the inauguration of the second-term government of the Macao SAR.
"As long as Macao's overall and long-term interests and China's national
interests are truly cherished, Macao can achieve a broad-based unity in its
society and make concerted efforts to usher in an even brighter future for the
Macao people," Hu said.
He said it is necessary to promote greater unity on the basis of loving the
country and loving Macao among all social strata, sectors and communities, and
maintain and consolidate general harmony in society.
"All citizens, regardless of their stratum, circle and religion,can and should
unite for the grand goals of loving the motherland, loving Macao and
maintaining Macao's long-term prosperity and stability," he added.
Hu said even if there are temporary differences on
certain issues, rational debates can be conducted in a spirit of mutual
accommodation and seeking common ground while reserving differences.
