上周四是全民國家安全教育日，特區政府舉辦了一連串的活動，除了在學校及社區的推廣宣傳，還包括主題講座。當天的演講嘉賓分別從政治安全；經濟安全；國土、軍事及海外利益安全等方面講述國家安全的重要性及如何做好保障。事實上，國家安全工作須以總體國家安全觀作為指引，從國家的主權、安全、領土完整和發展利益不受損害的高度謀劃和推動。

Since the announcement of the Budget in end February, we have been working in full steam to take forward the various Budget measures. Among those measures, the 100% Personal Loan Guarantee Scheme, which aims at providing a time-limited supplementary financing option for the unemployed, was approved by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council and is expected to be open for application by the end of this month.

Last week, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) approved the amended Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law to improve the electoral system for the selection of the Chief Executive and the formation of the Legislative Council (LegCo) of the HKSAR.
