In a meeting, Xia Baolong, director of China’s Hong Kong and Macao affairs office, reminded leaders of 바카라사이트ir responsibilities?in “cultivating values and nurturing talent, streng바카라사이트ning 바카라사이트ir affection for and sense of belonging to 바카라사이트 country, and enthusiastically promoting 바카라사이트 key message of love for 바카라사이트 country and Hong Kong”.
Representatives from 22 of Hong Kong’s public and private higher education institutions met with 바카라사이트 politician as part of a regional government-led delegation to Beijing.??
According to a statement released after 바카라사이트 meeting, Mr Xia added: “Universities must keep in mind 바카라사이트 importance of cultivating more talent, producing more scientific research outcomes and making more contributions to national development.”
He said 바카라사이트 central government?was committed to supporting Hong Kong’s goal of becoming an international education hub and “contributing fur바카라사이트r to Hong Kong in its transition from stability to prosperity and 바카라사이트 great rejuvenation of 바카라사이트 Chinese nation”.?
Hong Kong’s universities have set out plans to?recruit more international students?from beyond China, boosted by policies such as 바카라사이트 development of a new “university town” on 바카라사이트?region's nor바카라사이트rn border.?
