The ordinance signifies that the HKSAR has fulfilled its constitutional responsibility as stipulated in Article 23 of the Basic Law to enact local legislation to safeguard national security, Lee said.
"The completion of the legislation of Article 23 of the Basic Law is essential to the implementation of the principle of 'one country, two systems,' ensuring the effective protection of national security of 'one country' and the long-term prosperity and stability of the HKSAR under 'two systems,'" he said.
The HKSAR government will effectively discharge its responsibilities and carry out the work under the ordinance. It will also continue to deepen public understanding of the necessity of safeguarding national security and its pivotal role in maintaining the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, said Lee.
"The HKSAR government will continue to lead Hong Kong in fully focusing on economic development, improving people's livelihoods, and maintaining the long-term prosperity and stability of the city, with a view to creating a brighter and more abundant future together," he said.
