On June 9, Consul General Fang Xinwen met with a delegation of secondary school principals from the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) of Hong Kong SAR.

Consul General Fang extended a warm welcome to the delegation and spoke highly of Hong Kong's social stability, economic prosperity, and outstanding international competitiveness since the implementation of the National Security Law.

Citing the inspiring story of Hong Kong payload specialist Lai Ka-ying, Consul General Fang explained the dialectical relationship of interdependence and mutual development between the "greater family" (the nation) and the "smaller family" (the individual/household). He encouraged the principals to guide young students in Hong Kong to enhance their sense of national pride, and to play a greater role in expanding international horizons, inheriting Chinese culture, and promoting people-to-people connectivity.

During the meeting, the two sides held in-depth exchanges on Australia's international education, educational exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and Victoria, and Chinese language education within the consular district.Consul Ding Li (counselor rank) for Educational Affairs of the Consulate General attended the event.
