Premier appoints Tsang for 2nd term

Premier Wen Jiabao yesterday reappointed Donald Tsang as chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), following his landslide election win last month.

"Tsang's victory in the election meets the Hong Kong people's expectations and reflects their trust in him," Wen said.

In a statement issued immediately after the appointment, Tsang expressed his thanks to the central government, saying the opportunity to serve was "a great honor".
