The Secretary for the Environment and Ecology of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Xie Zhanhuan, recently stated in a media interview that ecological security is closely related to national security, and it is necessary to guard the ecological security line in daily work. He explained that once the air, water sources, and soil are polluted, it not only affects the health of citizens, but also threatens food supply security and even endangers social stability. April 15th this year is the 11th National Security Education Day for All. Xie Zhanhuan stated that the bureau has been actively responding to and promoting national security education for all, mainly from two aspects: firstly, by holding seminars and other activities to help colleagues from the Environment and Ecology Bureau learn national security knowledge, and always prioritize national security in their daily work; The second is to encourage more citizens to understand the country. He mentioned that the Environment and Ecology Bureau has collaborated with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to produce the "Encounter Beautiful China" series of films, which have been exhibited and screened at the headquarters of the SAR government, the Legislative Council of the SAR, and schools, while arranging dedicated personnel to explain them. He hopes to use this opportunity to make citizens, especially young people, aware of the country's ecological environment, thereby enhancing their patriotism and consciously safeguarding ecological and national security. Xie Zhanhuan stated that the national "15th Five Year Plan" proposes to accelerate the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, build a beautiful China, and emphasizes the combination of an effective market and a proactive government. On the one hand, the Environment and Ecology Bureau will continue to promote Hong Kong's green transformation and protect the ecological environment; On the other hand, we will also strive to find new economic growth points to meet the public's demand for a beautiful ecological environment. He revealed that the authorities have established two groups responsible for planning the environmental and ecological development of Hong Kong in the next five years, promoting it from both the aspects of "food" and "environment". The focus is on promoting the upgrading and transformation of local agriculture and fisheries, ensuring food supply security, and driving high-quality industrial development. (New Society)
