The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will strengthen ties with the US over Hong Kong's democratic development issues, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Michael Kau (???) said yesterday.

Moreover, Kau said, the foreign ministry will give moral support to Hong Kong's pursuit of full democracy.

Kau made the remarks while fielding questions at a meeting of the Legislative Yuan's Foreign and Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee.

During the meeting, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Parris Chang (???) said Hong Kong's prominent dissident lawmaker Martin Lee (???) testified before a US Senate hearing last Friday on the territory's demand for full democracy.
