Chief Executive CY Leung left for Beijing today to attend commemorative activities for the 70th anniversary of the victory of Chinese people's resistance against Japanese aggression and the world anti-fascist war.
Speaking to reporters at Hong Kong airport this morning, Mr Leung said that some SAR Government officials are already in Beijing to prepare for the 300-member Hong Kong delegation's participation in tomorrow's event.
Mr Leung noted that there are stringent security checks, so advance preparation work is necessary to facilitate the delegates' participation, adding that he plans to see for himself how the preparations are progressing.
