HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee highlighted the recent completion of Article 23 legislation under the Basic Law, calling it a 'milestone' in Hong Kong’s journey from stability to prosperity. 🔐 'This system protects our unique advantages under ‘One Country, Two Systems’ while ensuring security,' Lee emphasized.
Officials like Zheng Yanxiong of the Central People’s Government Liaison Office praised the framework for polishing Hong Kong’s 'golden brand' of rule of law. Meanwhile, discussions with youth reps underscored the role of younger generations in maintaining national security—proving it’s not just policy talk, but a living, breathing effort. 💬
The forum also spotlighted collaboration between central authorities and the HKSAR, aiming to close legal gaps and foster global partnerships. As Justice Secretary Paul Lam noted, 'Confidence in our laws is key to Hong Kong’s future.' 🌟
