Beijing Women's Federation

On the occasion of the 26th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Beijing Women's Federation (BWF) recently held a symposium with its executive committee members and delegates from south China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). The BWF held the event to strengthen the study and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the guiding principles of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and to learn about BWF’s executive committee members’ and delegates’ fulfillment of personal duties and work plans.

Tan Hong, Vice-President of the BWF, chaired the symposium in Hong Kong and gave a speech. Twenty-something BWF's executive committee members and delegates from the SAR attended the event.

A symposium is held with executive committee members and delegates of the Beijing Women's Federation from Hong Kong in the special administrative region.

Over the past few years, executive committee members and delegates of the BWF from Hong Kong have shown firm love toward the country and the SAR, rallied strength from local women in promoting Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, stepped forward bravely and made their voice heard in the midst of Hong Kong's turmoil. The members and delegates have stood together with Beijing's women through thick and thin in the fight against the COVID-19, and have given full play to their roles in building platforms for exchanges between Beijing and Hong Kong in sectors related to women, children and families.

In their speeches, BWF’s executive committee members and delegates from Hong Kong conveyed their thanks to the federation for its tremendous support to the SAR. They reviewed their personal efforts in further deepening exchanges between women from the SAR and Beijing, advancing the development of women's and children's affairs, and they shared their thoughts and plans, based on their expertise, about how to strengthen ideological guidance and education on traditional Chinese culture, improve mutual understanding between young people and facilitate the exchanges between role model families from the SAR and Beijing, bolster interactions between social organizations in the SAR and Beijing, consolidate unity among overseas Chinese and extend assistance to disadvantaged women.

Tan spoke highly of the work done by BWF's executive committee members and delegates from Hong Kong. Noting that they have shown a strong affection toward the country and the SAR and had a great sense of honor and social responsibility, she called on them to forge wider consensus, hold high the banner of patriotism, inject positive energy into Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, break new ground in the implementation of the fundamental principles of the "one country, two systems." She hoped that the executive committee members and delegates will build more platforms for women from Beijing and the SAR to facilitate in-depth exchanges and collaboration, and they will lead and guide women in Hong Kong to grasp development opportunities, rise up to challenges and contribute to the building of a stronger China and national rejuvenation in the midst of helping the SAR better integrate itself into the country's overall development.

Those in attendance of the symposium included officials from the Coordination Department under the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong SAR and relevant departments of the BWF.
