The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government held the commendation ceremony for the Hong Kong SAR Delegations to the 15th National Games (NG), the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG) of the People's Republic of China at the Ma On Shan Sports Centre this afternoon.

Chief Executive John Lee officiated at the ceremony and presented certificates of commendation to medalists and prize winners in the games.

Addressing the ceremony, Mr Lee said that the 15th NG, the 12th NGD and the 9th NSOG were jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao for the first time, which fully demonstrated the country's firm support for the collaborative development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also signified Hong Kong's practical integration into the overall development of the country which is of great significance and profound impact.

Mr Lee noted that the Government's estimated expenditure for promoting sports development in this financial year exceeded $9.2 billion, more than doubling the $4.3 billion allocated 10 years ago.

He added that the athletes' outstanding achievements reflected the enhancement of Hong Kong's sports prowess as well as the results of athletes' strenuous training, while affirming that the Government's long-standing commitment to training elite athletes and strengthening the policy on sports developments is on the right direction.
