BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) -- China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin on Monday called on Hong Kong delegates to the country's top advisory body to continue to promote exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong.

He asked CPPCC members based in Hong Kong to uphold the "one country, two systems" principle and the Basic Law, and to contribute more to the prosperity and peaceful reunification of the motherland.
