On June 30, the launching ceremony of the "Celebration of the 26th Anniversary of Hong Kong's Return to the Motherland" was held in Victoria Park. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu, director of the Hong Kong Liaison Office and secretary of the Hong Kong Work Committee of the Chinese Communist Party Zheng Yanxiong attended the launching ceremony. Lin Xiaohui, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Realord Group (1196.HK) and Sincere (0244.HK), was invited to attend this event.
John Lee said that Hong Kong is now in a critical period of governance and prosperity. Under the dual protection of the "The National Security Law" and the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong", the society is stable whereas the economy is developing well, and the business environment is becoming more free and convenient. With the full support of the PRC Government and the help of the citizens, Hong Kong has finally emerged from the haze of the epidemic, the society has fully returned to normal and has fully cleared customs with the mainland, and even reconnected with the world. I and my team have launched a number of policies and measures to seek happiness for the citizens and strive for Hong Kong’s economy, development and competitiveness.
Zheng Yanxiong said that at this time last year, President Xi Jinping visited Hong Kong in person and delivered an important speech, making a major declaration that "one country, two systems" must be adhered to for a long time, marking the historical direction of Hong Kong's transition from chaos to governance and prosperity, and drawing a blueprint for Hong Kong's future development. Over the past year, with the strong support of the central government, John and the HKSAR government have fulfilled their responsibilities, united and led all sectors of society to work together to open a new chapter and write a new chapter, and achieved many practical things. Happiness continues to rise. The administrative leadership of the HKSAR is orderly and promising, the legislature and judiciary perform their duties in accordance with the law, the governance team is diligent and pragmatic, and the new style of governance is obvious to all. National sovereignty, security, and development interests have been effectively safeguarded, Hong Kong has gradually emerged from the political whirlpool, and the familiar and lovely Hong Kong in the past has returned. Only when "one country" is stronger can "two systems" be more exciting.
Bryan Lin expressed that it is a great honor to participate in the celebration of the 26th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Standing in this Victoria Park full of festive atmosphere, he was so excited. Although Hong Kong has experienced various challenges and difficulties, we have ushered in a new era of governance and prosperity, with the strong support of the Central Government. At this moment, we deeply feel that the future of Hong Kong is full of hope and vision.
