BEIJING: President Xi Jinping called on compatriots in Hong Kong to join hands with the whole nation to “grasp the opportunities of the country’s development” and further implement the one country, two systems principle.

Xi said this on Monday while visiting an exhibition here at the National Museum of China on achievements since the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997.
