Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, at a media session after attending the morning session of the Youth Development Summit today (August 10):
Reporter: Since this is the first Youth Development Summit, does the Government or Bureau plan to hold this every year from now on?
Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs: In the Chief Executive's Policy Address last year, the Chief Executive announced that we would organise the Youth Development Summit for the first time this year. Our target (number of) participants is around 1 000. As I said, the registered participants is over 2 400, with nearly 500 overseas participants, seeing this overwhelming response from our young people, we hope that this kind of meaningful event can carry on. We definitely hope that we can get the support from every sector of the society and also other parts of the world to join us together to organise more meaningful events for young people.
