Youth uniformed groups visit PLA Hong Kong Garrison Exhibition Center (with photos)
***********************************************************************************
     The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, today (August 30) led over 120 leaders and members of youth uniformed groups to visit the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Hong Kong Garrison Exhibition Center at Ngong Shuen Chau Barracks to strengthen members of youth uniformed groups' understanding of the remarkable achievements of the country, as well as the nation's military history and the work of the Hong Kong Garrison.
 
     Members of youth uniformed groups visited the exhibition themed "Dreams of the East". They appreciated historical photos, antiques and models of the PLA's military equipment installed at the three thematic exhibition halls, namely "the Chinese Dream", "the Dream of a Strong Military" and "the PRC HK Garrison", and the weaponry and equipment area.
 
     Miss Mak thanked the Hong Kong Garrison for specially arranging the visit. It not only provides young people with a valuable opportunity for national education, but also reflects the care and attention of the Hong Kong Garrison to the young people in Hong Kong.
 
     This visit is a signature event under 2023 youthfest@HK (festival). Being one of the key initiatives of the Chief Executive's 2022 Policy Address and the Youth Development Blueprint, the festival attracts and unites young people from different backgrounds and with varying aspirations and hobbies through a variety of activities.
