Xia Jie fully affirmed the efforts that the Hong Kong and Macao members of the ACWF's Executive Committee have made in publicizing the law and safeguarding national security and Hong Kong's long-term stability.
Xia said the Hong Kong and Macao members should continue to publicize the law to local women and juveniles in communities and schools to enhance their national awareness and patriotism, in a bid to protect national sovereignty, security and fundamental interests. They were also expected to contribute to ensuring the steady and sustained implementation of the "One Country, Two Systems" principle and embrace a brighter future for Hong Kong and Macao.
