Since its opening to the public on August 7 last year, the National Security Exhibition Gallery has been well received by the community. Today, it received its one-millionth visitor.
 
The one-millionth visitor is a group of Primary 3 students from Po Leung Kuk Luk Hing Too Primary School, who toured the gallery this afternoon with their teacher.
 
Eleven students and their teacher received a commemorative certificate and a trophy from Secretary General of the Committee for Safeguarding National Security Au Chi-kwong, the officiating guest of the ceremony.
 
Mr Au stressed that the National Security Exhibition Gallery plays a vital role in national security education.
 
He highlighted that through its rich exhibits, concise texts, technological displays, and interesting interactive installations, the gallery has earned praise and recognition from all sectors of society, resulting in a constant stream of visitors. The highest single-day attendance exceeded 13,000.

In addition to saying that he is pleased with the gallery’s achievements over the past 11 months, Mr Au expressed that he looks forward to continual support from the public and various sectors of the community.

“By visiting the gallery, the public can deepen their understanding of national security and further strengthen the collective effort to safeguard it.”
 
The National Security Exhibition Gallery is the first national security education base in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
 
The gallery aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of national security, foster patriotism and affection for the country, encourage active participation in safeguarding national security, and showcase Hong Kong's unique advantages of being backed by the motherland and connected to the world.
