The original "Hong Kong Affairs Committee" of the Executive Yuan has been expanded to the "Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Committee", to stress the inclusion of Macao in its work. The committee has also extended the scope of its services in response to new political, economic, and social needs in the Hong Kong and Macao areas.
行政院指出，有關單位針對港澳地區的政治、經濟、社會情勢，已初步研討了未來工作方案。
