China News Service, Hong Kong, May 4th. The opening ceremony of the series of activities for the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong Youth Association and the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Youth Association Cai Jiazan Youth Development Center were held in Hong Kong on the 4th.
The Secretary of Home Affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government Xu Yingwei said in a speech at the ceremony that youth development is one of the key tasks of the Special Administrative Region government.
It is hoped that all sectors of society can continue to cooperate with the SAR government and contribute to nurturing our young people to become socially committed future leaders with national concepts, Hong Kong sentiments and international perspectives.
He Jing, deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Zhang Qiteng, chairman of the Hong Kong Youth Association (YJJ), Liang Yuwei, chief adviser of the YJJ, Tan Jinqiu, chairman of the Hong Kong Volunteer Union, and Cai Jiazan, member of the CPPCC National Committee of Hong Kong, attended the ceremony.
In his speech, Xu Yingwei said that the youth advancement has always united and nurtured young people in Hong Kong, and encouraged young people to care about society, promote youth exchanges and internship activities in the Mainland, so that they can broaden their horizons and understand the motherland.
One of the flagship activities of Youth Progress is the "Know the Motherland? Know Hong Kong" series of activities, which aims to allow young people to express their feelings for the country through art or photography.
Under the epidemic situation, although young people are temporarily unable to go to the mainland for exchanges and internships in person, Youth Progress still does not forget to explore other feasible solutions for young people, so that they can get to know more about the development of the mainland, especially through social media from time to time to Hong Kong. The youth introduces the opportunities and practical information in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area), which will help them deepen their understanding of the Greater Bay Area.
"Today is also the May Fourth Youth Day. Youth shoulders an important mission. They are not only an important driving force for social development, but also a new force for national development." The important scope supports the future development of Hong Kong, and clearly proposes to facilitate the employment and entrepreneurship of young people from Hong Kong and Macao in the cities of the Greater Bay Area, and to create a premium brand for youth exchanges between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" outline just provides a major opportunity for Hong Kong youth to participate in national development.
Xu Yingwei stated that the SAR government has done a lot of work to help young people seize the development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area and actively integrate into the overall national development situation, including the launch of the “Greater Bay Area Youth Entrepreneurship Funding Program” and the “Greater Bay Area Youth Development Fund” under the “Youth Development Fund”. The District Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base Experience Funding Program" provides entrepreneurial funds for Hong Kong young people who are interested in starting a business, and connects them with the rich entrepreneurial resources of cities in the Greater Bay Area.
