In the evening, Mr Tang and the group met CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee Standing Committee Member and CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee Political & Legal Commission Secretary Li Yaoguang. Mr Tang thanked provincial and municipal leaders for their strong support for the Security Bureau Youth Uniformed Group Leaders Forum and the work done to make arrangements for the visit. He said members had been able to experience Jiangsu’s profound historical and cultural heritage, understand the country’s development from ancient times to the present, and enhance their national identity.
