Students to Meet Hong Kong Government

Talks between pro-democracy student leaders and the government tonight may offer the best chance of a peaceful ending to more than three weeks of demonstrations that have disrupted Hong Kong and divided its citizens.

“Society has been aware of the students’ view on electoral reforms through their various ways of expression in the past three weeks,” Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said today. “We need to be pragmatic, so that we can narrow the differences on electoral reforms through dialogue.”
