Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday it was not appropriate for her to comment on national security legislation for the city as a meeting in Beijing to discuss the law is still ongoing, Trend reports citing Reuters.
Lam was speaking at a weekly press conference shortly after local media reported that China’s parliament had passed a contentious national security law for the city.
Lam acknowledged there had been widespread public speculation and concern regarding the legislation and she would comment once details were unveiled.
