Shenzhou-6 spirit adds new dynamic to HK: CE

As the Shenzhou-6 delegation concluded its three-day visit to Hong Kong and left for Macau, Chief Executive Donald Tsang said their spirit has boosted local peoples' morale and added a new dynamic to society.

Bon voyage: Chief Executive Donald Tsang bids farewell to the Shenzhou-6 delegation and presents a photo album to the astronauts, while delegation leader Hu Shixiang receives a farewell card from a student at the Macau Ferry Terminal.

At a farewell ceremony at Government House this morning, Mr Tsang thanked the group for their untiring efforts in meeting Hong Kong people day and night, providing them with fond memories, and sharing their joy from the space mission's success.

He presented to delegation leader Hu Shixiang and astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng an album and DVD recordings of their Hong Kong activities.

Secretary for Justice Wong Yan-lung and Secretary for Education & Manpower Professor Arthur Li saw the delegation off at the Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan. About 400 secondary and primary students were also on hand to send them off.
