Addressing the talk, the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung, mentioned that the important speech delivered by President Xi Jinping at the meeting celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland had acknowledged the distinctive advantages of Hong Kong's close connection with the rest of the world under "one country, two systems".
