Constitution and Basic Law Promotion Steering Committee
Introduction
The Government established in January 1998 a Basic Law Promotion Steering Committee ("BLPSC") to provide advice and steer on the overall strategy and key aspects for promoting the Basic Law, and to monitor, evaluate and review promotional programmes undertaken by government departments and non-governmental organisations. The 2022 Policy Address has announced that BLPSC is renamed as the Constitution and Basic Law Promotion Steering Committee ("CBLPSC"), so as to underline the utmost importance the Government attaches to the promotion of the Constitution and our determination to take forward the work. The 2023 Policy Address further announced that the CBLPSC would extend its scope to cover patriotic education. At present, the "Working Group on Constitution, Basic Law and Hong Kong National Security Law" and the "Working Group on Patriotic Education" have been set up under the CBLPSC.
The Working Group on Constitution, Basic Law and Hong Kong National Security Law has set up five sub-groups to direct its promotional efforts at five target groups. The Industrial, Commercial and Professional Sectors Sub-group formulates and implements the relevant action plans for the promotion of the "one country, two systems" principle, the Constitution, the Basic Law and the Hong Kong National Security Law among the industrial, commercial and professional sectors, and aims to foster co-operation and exchange of experience of the relevant promotion among the sectors.
