          Non-official Members of the Executive Council (ExCo Non-official Members) today (August 6) visited the National Security Exhibition Gallery of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to learn more about the preparation work for the gallery's public opening from tomorrow (August 7) onwards. The gallery is located at the Hong Kong Museum of History and is organised by the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the HKSAR.
      
     ExCo Non-official Members were briefed by docents on the themes and valuable exhibits in various sections of the exhibition. ExCo Non-official Members commended the comprehensive content of the exhibition, which includes an introduction to the establishment and achievements of the new China, the relationship between the holistic approach to national security and the HKSAR, and the legislative background of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance. The exhibits will help members of the public better understand the importance of national security to Hong Kong's prosperity and future development, and ExCo Non-official Members also noted that the exhibition could enhance public awareness on safeguarding national security with its interactive games and videos.
      
     Also, ExCo Non-official Members noted that the National Security Exhibition Gallery is the first thematic gallery in the HKSAR dedicated to the systematic promotion of national security, and is the first sizeable education venue for national security in the city. They thanked the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR and the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR for their support to the exhibition's successful organisation.
      
     ExCo Non-official Members called on citizens to visit the exhibition gallery to enhance their understanding of national security and Hong Kong's distinctive advantages of enjoying strong support of the motherland while being closely connected to the world.
