[Farewell Ceremony for the China Manned Space Engineering Delegation]
“The China Manned Space Engineering Delegation’s four-day visit to Hong Kong ended today. We held a farewell ceremony for the delegation at Government House. I would like to thank the China Manned Space Engineering Office once again for accepting my invitation, and also thank the central government for agreeing to support astronauts and experts on the manned space engineering system to visit Hong Kong for four days.
Members of the aerospace engineering delegation “landed” in Hong Kong this time. During the period, they attended multiple activities to interact with Hong Kong citizens, and visited many universities, primary and secondary schools, and sowed three important seeds: the seeds of enhancing national pride; Explore the seeds of science and technology and encourage the pursuit of dreams.
Through this visit, I believe that Hong Kong citizens can deeply feel the firm determination of the Chinese people in realizing their space dream. Citizens are also deeply proud of the country’s extraordinary achievements in aerospace technology. I believe these three important seeds will thrive and bear fruit in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong citizens and I look forward to them coming back again to share with us new achievements and new goals in the country’s aerospace industry.”
