The red-letter date of July 1, 2007 marks a milestone as the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). This historic day is a uniquely memorable moment for our country as a whole, but especially for the people of Hong Kong.
The 10th anniversary has been keenly anticipated, presenting a golden opportunity to review our past challenges and successes, while looking forward to a bright and prosperous future.
Hong Kong’s celebrations calendar runs from April through to December, and our government offices in the Mainland and overseas are, naturally, taking this opportunity to celebrate this important anniversary...
