Reporter: Is the South Korean consulate office being attacked by North Korean agents and that’s why the Police’s counter-terrorism officers were being deployed to protect their safety?
 
Secretary for Security: I would not comment on the operations of our Police Force, but I can assure everybody that Hong Kong is a very safe city.
 
Reporter: Can you let us know when the formal agreement on the notification mechanism can be signed by both sides?
 
Secretary for Security: We have completed two rounds of discussions. We are now examining the wordings of the agreement. The work is still ongoing and of course we all aim at reaching a final version.
