Advisers to the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) yesterday pledged support for the MSAR in better honoring its obligation of safeguarding national security.
Fu Ziying, who was appointed in March by the central government national security affairs adviser to the committee, together with Zheng Xincong and Yin Shuhua who were appointed national security technical advisers, made the remarks at the first plenary meeting of the committee held this year.
Noting that Macau still faces multiple challenges in safeguarding national security threatened by external forces as well as uncertainties brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, Fu, who also serves as director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the MSAR, vowed to provide continuous support for Macau’s chief executive and the committee in further improving Macau’s legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security.
Zheng and Yin are senior officials of the Liaison Office.
Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng, who heads the committee, said at the meeting that the committee would take the appointments of the national security advisers as a new starting point to assess, discover and efficiently resolve potential security risks in the future, and continuously improve Macau’s system of safeguarding national security to maintain social stability of the MSAR and the nation. – Xinhua, MPD
