The Opening Ceremony cum Seminar of the National Security Education Day was held this morning (April 15) at the Grand Hall of the New Wing of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Xia Baolong, Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, attended the opening ceremony via video and delivered a speech.
Xia Baolong stated that to safeguard Hong Kong's transition from stability to prosperity with high-level security, it is necessary to clearly recognize that security is not a one-time effort. He said that we must remain vigilant at all times against various risks and hidden dangers that could affect Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. Security is a dynamic and evolving process; security at one moment does not mean security forever, and security in the present does not guarantee security in the future. The State Council Information Office released the White Paper titled "Hong Kong: Safeguarding China's National Security on February 10 this year, comprehensively reviewing the practical journey of Hong Kong in safeguarding national security and deeply analyzing the situation and tasks of safeguarding national security in Hong Kong. This serves as a reminder for everyone to be vigilant in times of peace.
