HONG KONG, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chief Executive of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam said on Tuesday that she had never tendered a resignation to the central government.

"I said on several occasions previously and also reaffirmed by my colleagues in the Chief Executive Office in response to media inquiry, that throughout this period, that is from the very beginning till now, I have never, I have never tendered a resignation to the central government," Lam said at a regular press conference.

"I have not even contemplated to discuss a resignation to the central government," she said.

Stressing that the choice of not resigning was her "own choice," Lam said that though it might be "an easy choice to leave," it had remained her position that she and her team should stay on to serve the people of Hong Kong and help Hong Kong in a difficult situation.

"I know it is not going to be an easy path, and that is why I said that I've not given myself the choice to take an easier path, that is to leave," said Lam.

"I'd rather stay on and walk this path together with my team and the people of Hong Kong," she added. Enditem
