The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government and the Central People's Government Liaison Office co-hosted a Constitution Day seminar on December 5, 2025, focusing on enhancing public understanding of constitutional governance. The event drew approximately 900 participants from various sectors, emphasizing Hong Kong's role in China's national rejuvenation.
Before discussions commenced, attendees observed a minute of silence for victims of the recent Tai Po residential fire. HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee pledged comprehensive disaster response measures and announced plans for an independent review committee to improve urban safety protocols.
Under the theme 'The Constitution and the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation,' Lee highlighted the constitutional framework as essential for Hong Kong's development. 'Our constitutional order provides both legal safeguards and strategic advantages in contributing to national progress,' he stated, urging collective efforts to build Hong Kong's future.
Liu Guangyuan, Deputy Director of the Central Liaison Office, connected Hong Kong's governance with broader national objectives. He emphasized the upcoming December 7 Legislative Council election as critical for maintaining constitutional order and supporting post-crisis reconstruction efforts.
The seminar concluded with consensus on strengthening legal education initiatives and aligning local policies with national development strategies.
