Chinese President Hu Jintao said in Hong Kong Friday that he hopes to witness Hong Kong's latest development and progress while having a better understanding of local people's life and expectations during his stay in Hong Kong.

Hu made the remarks upon his arrival at the Hong Kong international airport for a three-day trip to attend the celebrations marking the 15th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland and swearing-in ceremony of the fourth-term government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
