Li Hongzhong, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice chairman of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, attended the SAR’s conference to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law of Macau.
Li said over the 30 years after the promulgation of the Basic Law of Macau, particularly since its implementation on Dec. 20, 1999, the Basic Law has formed the constitutional foundation for the Macau SAR together with the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China, defined the constitutional order of Macau, and provided all-round legal guarantee for the development of various causes in Macau.
Well implementing the Basic Law of the Macau SAR is significant to writing new chapters for “One country, two systems” practices in Macau, Li said, adding that efforts must be made to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, practically implement the central authorities’ overall jurisdiction, firmly implement the principle of “patriots administering Macau,” and continue stepping up promotions of the Constitution and the Basic Law of the Macau SAR.
