　　In his speech, Lin Zhengyue said that the unveiling ceremony was a historic moment. Everyone witnessed another milestone in the establishment of a sound legal system and enforcement mechanism for the maintenance of national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. The National Security Office in Hong Kong will become an important partner of the SAR Government in maintaining national security affairs. The Central Government has full trust in the Special Administrative Region and has given the Special Administrative Region the main task of maintaining national security. However, the Central Government needs to retain its power to deal with situations in which a handful of Special Administrative Regions endanger national security and ensure that national security is foolproof under all circumstances.

　　Lin Zhengyue emphasized that the Hong Kong SAR National Security Committee will establish a coordination mechanism with the National Security Office in Hong Kong as soon as possible. Relevant agencies of the SAR Government will also establish a cooperation mechanism with the National Security Office in Hong Kong at the working level to strengthen information sharing and action coordination. She and the SAR Government are looking forward to cooperating with the National Security Agency in Hong Kong, performing their duties, doing their best to implement the Hong Kong National Security Law, fulfilling the responsibility of the Hong Kong SAR to maintain national security, and allowing Hong Kong to maintain prosperity and stability. .

　　Luo Huining said in his speech that the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law opened a major turning point in Hong Kong from chaos to governance. The establishment of the National Security Agency in Hong Kong is a major measure taken by the central government to fulfill its fundamental responsibility for maintaining national security. National security belongs to the central government. The central government has the power and responsibility to take all necessary measures to maintain national security. Based on full trust in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Central Authorized Special Administrative Region has jurisdiction over most cases. The reason why the Central Government retains jurisdiction over a few cases that endanger national security under certain circumstances is to maintain the bottom line for Hong Kong to maintain national security.

　　Luo Huining emphasized that the National Security Office in Hong Kong, as an agency of the central government, will perform its duties strictly in accordance with the law in Hong Kong and accept supervision according to law, and will not infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of any individual or organization. She is "the messenger of Hong Kong's security" and "the gatekeeper of national security." Hong Kong today has bid farewell to the history of "undefended" national security. Hong Kong’s National Security Law escorts, and there is the National Security Agency stationed in Hong Kong and the SAR’s National Security Agency working together to ensure that actions and activities that endanger national security can be effectively prevented, stopped, and punished. The practice of “one country, two systems” in Hong Kong must not be deformed, Don't lose shape, continue to radiate new vitality.

　　Zheng Yanxiong pointed out in his speech that the legislation and implementation of Hong Kong’s National Security Law is an important decision made by the central government to improve the “one country, two systems” system and safeguard Hong Kong’s national security and people’s well-being. As the National Security Agency of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, the National Security Office in Hong Kong will resolutely perform its national security responsibilities and exercise relevant powers in accordance with the law. The National Security Office in Hong Kong will strengthen the working contact and coordination with the Hong Kong Central Liaison Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Special Representative’s Office in Hong Kong, and the troops stationed in Hong Kong, and establish a coordination and collaboration mechanism with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s National Security Committee and relevant agencies. The National Security Office in Hong Kong will also perform its duties in strict accordance with the law and accept supervision in accordance with the law, without infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of any individual or organization.
