Immigration Department appoints Youth Ambassadors in Guangzhou (with photos)
****************************************************************************
     The Director of Immigration, Mr Benson Kwok, officiated at the appointment ceremony for the Immigration Department (ImmD) Youth Ambassadors Programme today (March 20) held at the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Guangdong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). He appointed eight young people from Hong Kong who were studying and living in Guangdong as ImmD Youth Ambassadors.
 
     The eight Youth Ambassadors will receive diversified training provided by the ImmD during the one-year term, including visits, workshops, exchange programmes, trial work placement days and internships. They will also have the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the operations of the HKSAR Government and the business scope of the ImmD. The ImmD expects that the Programme will enable Youth Ambassadors to broaden their horizons and lay a solid foundation for their future work in various positions within society.
 
     Mr Kwok said at the appointment ceremony that these Youth Ambassadors serve as an important bridge between the ImmD and Hong Kong people on the Mainland. He said he hopes that through the Programme, Youth Ambassadors can learn and enhance their understanding of the ImmD's policies and work, inspiring them to serve Hong Kong, contribute to the country, and strengthen their patriotism. Mr Kwok emphasised that young people are the future of the country and an important force for the mutual development of the Mainland and Hong Kong. He expects them to actively spread positive energy, tell Hong Kong's good stories, and contribute their youthful power to the prosperity and stability of the Mainland and Hong Kong.
