Kathmandu, 20 March: : The Fourth Session of the 13th National People’s Congress has voted to adopt the Decision of the National People’s Congress on Improving the Electoral System of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This is a major step to uphold and improve the system and institutions of One Country, Two Systems and safeguard enduring stability and security in Hong Kong.
Responding to a media query, Spokesperson at the Chinese embassy stated that the decision to this effect will provide a stronger systemic guarantee for the full implementation of “patriots administering Hong Kong”. Since Hong Kong’s return to the mainland, the central government has been leading and advancing the development of Hong Kong’s democratic system. As the highest body of state power, the National People’s Congress made the decision on improving Hong Kong SAR’s electoral system, a power and responsibility enshrined in the Constitution and the Basic Law. It will better uphold the overall and fundamental interests of the Hong Kong society, contribute to the constant progress of Hong Kong’s democratic system and the steady practice of One Country, Two Systems.
Hong Kong is a part of China and Hong Kong-related issues are China’s internal affairs where there’s no place for other country to interfere. China appreciates Nepal’s commitment to One China Policy. We are firmly confident that Hong Kong will enjoy a brighter future under One Country, Two Systems, and bring more opportunities for cooperation to the international community including Nepal.
