"One Country, Two Systems" is the best institutional arrangement to ensure Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, said a Chinese official.

Hong Kong should take the constitutional responsibility to ensure the country's security, said Li Fei, Chairman of the HKSAR Basic Law Committee under the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, on Thursday.

Li delivered a keynote speech on Hong Kong's role and mission as the country's Special Administrative Region (SAR) under the National Constitution and Basic Law at the Basic Law Seminar in Commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Establishment of HKSAR at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

Li clarified the relationship between the central government and HKSAR and the constitutional responsibility HKSAR should take in his speech. He said "One country, Two systems" is the best institutional arrangement for HKSAR and every Hong Kong citizen should foster the national consciousness and understand the meaning of "One country, Two systems".

The Basic Law Promotion Steering Committee (BLPSC) of HKSAR held this seminar to deepen public knowledge and understanding of the Basic Law. The seminar is one of the activities held in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR.

Chief Executive Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor delivered the welcome speech and closing speech respectively.
