Following the conclusion of the first session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) and the first session of the 14th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee ("two sessions"), District Offices (DOs) have held seminars on "Spirit of the 'two sessions'" to study the essentials of the "two sessions" this year and its important instructions to Hong Kong's future development.

     As of today (March 15), DOs, including the Central and Western District Office, the Kowloon City District Office, the Kwun Tong District Office, the Sham Shui Po District Office and the Wong Tai Sin District Office, have held six seminars by inviting different keynote speakers, including Hong Kong Deputy to the 14th NPC Mr Tommy Li; Hong Kong member of the 14th CPPCC National Committee Mr Yip Wing-shing; the former President of the Legislative Council (LegCo) and the Founder President of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), Professor Jasper Tsang; Hong Kong Deputy to the 14th NPC Dr Bunny Chan; Hong Kong member of the 14th CPPCC National Committee and Member of the LegCo Reverend Canon Peter Douglas Koon; Advisor and founding member of the DAB Mr Kan Chi-ho; Member of the LegCo Mr Tang Ka-piu; member of standing committee of Guangdong Youth Federation Mr Yeung Hok-lam; and chairpersons of Area Committees, District Fight Crime Committees and District Fire Safety Committees. Those seminars have enabled participants to proactively learn and implement the spirit of the "two sessions", and to better understand the latest policies and objectives of the country so as to seize national development opportunities and to better integrate into the overall development of the country.

     About 1 100 participants attended the six seminars, including staff of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, members of the LegCo, members of District Councils, members of Area Committees, District Fight Crime Committees and District Fire Safety Committees, leaders and members of district organisations, youth and local organisations and staff of DOs.

     Other DOs will continue to roll out seminars so as to enable more people to gain a deeper understanding of the spirit of the "two sessions".
