In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and on the nomination of the sixth Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, the State Council will appoint principal officials of the sixth term of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government on June 19, 2022.

Among them, Lin Dingguo became the new Secretary of the Department of Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.

On the same day, Lin Dingguo expressed his gratitude to the central government and the chief executive-designate for their trust when meeting the media.

The rule of law is one of Hong Kong's golden signs.

From a personal point of view, the rule of law decrees that citizens live in a society where they truly own and feel fairness and justice, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment and pursue their ideals.

From the perspective of Hong Kong as a whole, to consolidate Hong Kong as an international financial, trade, and commercial center and build Hong Kong into an international legal and dispute resolution service center in the Asia-Pacific region, the country is based on the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The rule of law is essential in planning expectations for Hong Kong.

Lin Dingguo said that as a member of the big Hong Kong family, he will definitely uphold the rule of law and strive to make the golden signboard of the rule of law more beautiful, which makes Hong Kong people feel proud and makes others envious.

To achieve this goal, he will unite with the Deputy Secretary-Designate and all his colleagues in the Department of Justice, and do everything possible to win the trust and support of the public with the utmost sincerity.
