DAB firmly supported the establishment of Hong Kong and Macao work office of CPC Central Committee

March 16, 2023

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the " Party and State Institutional Reform Plan ", proposing to no longer retain the standalone Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council, and to establish the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of CPC Central Committee. The DAB expressed its firm support and backing for this.

The DAB believes that this reform embodies the central government's high importance attached to work related to Hong Kong and Macao, and also embodies the central government's resolute commitment to fully and accurately uphold the "One Country, Two Systems" principle.

This move will strengthen central leadership and will be more conducive to implementing the central government's overall jurisdiction over the Special Administrative Regions, conducive to implementing the principle of “patriots administering Hong Kong”, conducive to implementing the legal system and enforcement mechanisms of the Special Administrative Regions for safeguarding national security, and conducive to supporting Hong Kong's economic development and improving livelihoods.

Under the leadership of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of CPC Central Committee, the DAB will in the future work together with all sectors of Hong Kong society to make positive contributions to the development of the country and Hong Kong.
