HONG KONG, June 6-- The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government (LOCPG) in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) held here Saturday a symposium on the national security legislation. Speaking at the symposium attended by a total of 21 HKSAR deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC) and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Director of the LOCPG in the HKSAR Luo Huining said establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the HKSAR to safeguard national security at the state level follows the principles of firmly safeguarding national security, upholding and improving the "one country, two systems" framework, adhering to governing Hong Kong in accordance with the law, resolutely opposing foreign interference and ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of Hong Kong residents. Luo stressed that the national security legislation will only target an extremely small minority of illegal and criminal acts and activities, while the legitimate rights and freedoms enjoyed by the vast majority of Hong Kong residents will be guaranteed. Luo said the decision on Establishing and Improving the Legal System and Enforcement Mechanisms for the HKSAR to Safeguard National Security adopted at the closing meeting of the third annual session of the 13th NPC is a milestone in practicing the "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong. |
