(Hong Kong, 20 March 2024) The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers supports and welcomes the unanimous passage of Article 23 of the Basic Law by the Legislative Council. The legislation’s passage represents a significant and important milestone for Hong Kong. By safeguarding national security and defending “One Country, Two Systems,” the legislation enables our society to unite and concentrate its efforts on economic development and the improvement of livelihoods.
National security is the foundation upon which all development rests; it ensures that Hong Kong may enjoy long-term stability and give prominence to “building a vibrant economy, striving for development, and improving livelihoods”.
The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers will keep leveraging its expertise and strengths, working hand in hand with the engineering industry and the society as a united front to strive for Hong Kong’s progress and prosperity.
