Chief Executive Carrie Lam will address a webinar held by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government on June 8 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Basic Law’s promulgation.

The webinar will review the Basic Law’s historical background and successful implementation to enhance the public’s understanding of the “one country, two systems” principle.

On May 28, the National People’s Congress (NPC) passed the decision on establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to safeguard national security. The webinar will discuss the decision’s importance in safeguarding the country’s sovereignty, security and development interests, protecting Hong Kong’s long-term prosperity and ensuring the robustness of “one country, two systems”.

The webinar comprises of keynote addresses and a dialogue session. Mrs Lam will first address the webinar.

Keynote speeches on the Basic Law, “one country, two systems” and national security will be given by State Council Hong Kong & Macao Affairs Office Deputy Director Zhang Xiaoming, and Vice-Chairperson of the Hong Kong SAR Basic Law Committee (BLC) under the NPC Standing Committee Zhang Yong.

There will also be a dialogue session moderated by BLC Vice-Chairperson Maria Tam. She will host a discussion on the Basic Law’s historical background and implementation with the first Secretary for Justice Elsie Leung and Prof Albert Chen from the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law.
