On the 21st, the Hong Kong Elite Association held the inaugural ceremony of the 16th Executive Committee and the 7th Council of Academic Elite. During his speech at the ceremony, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Ka chao, expressed his hope to unite the forces of all sectors of society and cultivate young people to become a new generation who love Hong Kong, have a global perspective, possess professional skills, and actively engage in lifelong learning. Li Jiachao pointed out that the Hong Kong Elite Association has made significant contributions to promoting youth development over the years, and academic elites have also gathered a group of outstanding new forces to inject new impetus into youth development work. Young people are the future of the country and Hong Kong. The SAR government attaches great importance to youth development work and hopes to build a ladder for young people through the Youth Development Blueprint, so that they can fully demonstrate their strengths. Liu Guangming, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central Government in Hong Kong, said that since its establishment, the Hong Kong Elite Association has always adhered to the position of patriotism and love for Hong Kong, committed to leading, uniting, and serving young people, and has done a lot of effective work, becoming a banner of youth organizations. I hope everyone can follow the example of the patriotic and loving elderly in Hong Kong, work hard, and write brilliant youth poems for the beauty of Hong Kong and the construction of a strong country. More than 300 people attended the event, including the President of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Leung Chun yan, the Convener of the Executive Council, Ip Lau Shu yi, and representatives of the SAR government and various sectors of Hong Kong society. The Hong Kong Elite Association was established in 2007 and is composed of young entrepreneurs, professionals, and youth club leaders from all walks of life in Hong Kong. The Elite Association adheres to the principle of "gathering young elites, researching and disseminating national conditions, paying attention to social hotspots, and building a political think tank", and organizes various activities to unite the vast number of Hong Kong youth.
