BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) -- An academic symposium on "one country, two systems" was held in Beijing on Monday, focusing on a five-year review and outlook on the implementation of the Hong Kong national security law.
The event was attended by nearly 100 guests and experts from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, and 11 countries including Britain, Portugal and Malaysia.
The event, hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, featured parallel forums on topics including the theory and practice of national security legislation, national security and economic development, as well as national security and social governance.
The attending guests and scholars agreed that the Hong Kong national security law has played a comprehensive and fundamental role in resolving the chaos in Hong Kong, safeguarding the practice of "one country, two systems," as well as promoting Hong Kong's economic development and human rights protection.
The Hong Kong national security law stands as a model for upholding and improving the "one country, two systems" policy, they said, adding that the law has not only been crucial to restoring order and enabling prosperity in Hong Kong, but also provided valuable reference for other countries and regions in building their national security legal systems.
The successful implementation of the "one country, two systems" policy will also offer new perspectives for advancing global governance, according to the attending guests and scholars. Enditem
