     The Director of Immigration, Mr Benson Kwok, officiated at the appointment ceremony of the Immigration Department (ImmD) Youth Ambassador Programme (the Programme) today (September 13) held in Wuhan. He appointed eight young people from Hong Kong who are studying and living in the central region of the Mainland as ImmD Youth Ambassadors.

     It is the fourth time ImmD appointing Youth Ambassadors in the Mainland, after Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. The appointed Youth Ambassadors will receive diversified training provided by the ImmD during the one-year term and collaborate with the Immigration Divisions of the Mainland Offices of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, in disseminating the latest information and the business scope of the ImmD. The ImmD expects that the Programme will broaden the Youth Ambassadors' horizons and lay a solid foundation for their future work in various positions within society.

     During the appointment ceremony, Mr Kwok encouraged the Youth Ambassadors to take this opportunity to shoulder more responsibilities and missions, act as the bridge between the ImmD and the public, promote mainstream values characterised by patriotism with affection for the country and Hong Kong, spread positive energy to society, and make contribution to the stability and prosperity of the country and Hong Kong.
