The Hong Kong government announced on Sunday that it will observe a period of mourning for former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji. In accordance with a notice from the state news agency Xinhua, flags will be flown at half-staff at various government locations throughout the territory on Tuesday, which marks the day of the former leader's cremation.

The locations designated for this tribute include the government headquarters in Admiralty, Government House, all border control points, and the Hong Kong International Airport. This gesture follows standard protocol for honoring high-ranking state officials in the People's Republic of China. While the announcement confirms the logistical details of the flag-lowering, it serves as a formal acknowledgment of the former premier's role in the national government. No further public ceremonies or additional mourning measures were detailed in the initial government statement.
