　　In the morning, a total of 31 trainee inspectors and 83 apprentice police officers participated in the graduation ceremony.

The parade team entered the venue to the sound of "March of Military Power" and "Battle Hymn of the Strong Army".

When the music of "Singing the Motherland" sounded, the flag-guarding team entered the venue with Chinese-style marching.

When the majestic "March of the Volunteers" was played, all the participants saluted the rising five-star red flag, the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the police flag of the Hong Kong Police Force.

　　Li Jiachao reviewed the parade team as a reviewer and awarded the best student award.

　　"Forty-five years ago, I was standing in your present position, participating in the graduation parade just like you do today, and I was as excited as you at the time." Li Jiachao said in his speech, "Today, I once again returned to this place full of memories. The place reminds me of my past and my classmates, the students watching and helping each other..."

　　Li Jiachao said that this is the first time that the police academy graduation parade is held in Chinese style, which is of special significance. It fully reflects the police force's national identity and sense of belonging to the country, and it also represents the solemn commitment to and loyalty to the country.

　　Li Jiachao pointed out that maintaining the rule of law and security is the cornerstone of ensuring long-term stability and sustainable development in Hong Kong.

The Police Force has always shouldered the heavy responsibility of upholding law and discipline, eliminating violence and peace, and is an important pillar for consolidating the rule of law in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Police Force has developed from a city security police into a law enforcement force that safeguards national security and stability in Hong Kong.

In his important speech delivered on July 1, President Xi Jinping mentioned that "Hong Kong cannot and cannot afford chaos". Therefore, we must take precautions before it happens, because stability is the foundation of everything. Without stability, development will be impossible. Speaking of which, without stability, the true value of people's aspirations cannot be brought into play.

As a law enforcement force to safeguard national security and Hong Kong's stability, the Police Force will help promote the long-term development of Hong Kong society and ensure the stable and long-term implementation of "One Country, Two Systems".

　　Li Jiachao sent a message to the graduates to inherit the spirit of excellence of the Hong Kong Police Force and to go all out in different jobs, so that Hong Kong will continue to be one of the safest cities in the world.

　　Zheng Yanxiong, Director of the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong SAR, Luo Yonggang, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong SAR, Fang Jianming, Deputy Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong SAR, and Xiao Zeyi, Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force, attended the ceremony. .

　　Many parents of students entered the ceremony with flowers in hand.

The graduation ceremony and parade ceremony ended with the sound of "Ambition" and "Sail With Me".
