HONG KONG - NO ONE political system is the best for generating sustained economic growth, and the success of a country's economy does not rest on whether the governance is Asian-style or Western-style, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong said on Tuesday night.

'Every country must find the political system that can deliver the goods, given its special and specific circumstances,' he said.

SM Goh was speaking at the Asia Society Hong Kong Centre's annual dinner, where he delivered the keynote address to leaders from Hong Kong's government, business, academic and media sectors.
