Hong Kong’s John Lee says national security an ongoing effort ahead of exhibition launch
- Chief Executive John Lee says stability push should be on equal footing with economic development during ceremony for new national security exhibition
“Efforts to safeguard national security are ongoing and will never be completed,” he said.
“In the face of a rapidly changing international situation, frequent regional conflicts and containment and suppression efforts by external forces, we must step up our vigilance and prepare for extreme scenarios.”
Lee said national security and developing the economy should be considered of equal importance, adding that everyone needed to excel in predicting possible risks and challenges amid advancement efforts.
“I hope different organisations, various sectors, tertiary institutions, primary and secondary schools, and youth groups, will better promote national security education for all and enhance residents’ awareness and commitment to consciously defending national security by arranging visits to the exhibition.”
